Providence's "Feast di Olivia"

"Ah," he gushed, "my favorites, green olive soup and black olive lasagna!"
Providence gritted her teeth. If only she had her Automatic Dinner Reducer.

Pop-up fans and readers everywhere were invited to convince Providence that olives are not so yucky. Here is the Feast di Olivia recipe collection YOU helped create.

Check out the main courses, snack foods, and kid stuff. Mmmmm, good!
