Here's a fun appetizer that can be assembled with ingredients most of us have on hand over the holidays: olives, almonds and cream cheese. The recipe comes from one of my new favourite cookbooks Perfect One-Dish Dinners by Pam Anderson. Watch out though, the perfect combination of brininess, creaminess, and crunchiness makes these stuffed olives highly addicting!
