Olive-It

We have always loved hosting. An excuse for fresh flowers, some rose champagne, blue cheese stuffed olives and Italian bread sticks? Whats not to love. To make your own olives (perfect alone or in a dirty martini), follow this simple recipe:

Pit a bunch of olives (or buy them already de-pitted)
Mix about 2 tablespoons of  blue cheese with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream cheese until its smooth
Using a small spoon, scoop the cheese from the bowl and scrap it against either end of the olive so the mixtures gets inside
Pop 3 into a martini glass and strain your favorite dirty martini on top
