Feast di Oliva

Providence HATES olives and uses her Automatic Dinner Reducer to hide them. Robert's readers tried to find a recipe that would convince Providence that olives are not so bad.

This is what my son used to call olives when he was a toddler.

Providence's Delight

Popcorn

I thought that Providence being a special mouse created by Robert
Sabuda would love nothing better then her own portion of "Pop-Corn Olivia".
Made by pouring fresh virgin cold pressed olive oil over a large bowl of
freshly popped hot popcorn.

Olives
- Tylee C.

I like to stick olives on my fingers and then dip them in ranch dressing and eat them. We only have olives when I go to my grandma's house and they are in between the pickles and carrot sticks. Providence should try dipping them in dressing. My mom's name is Olivia which means olive in some other languages.

Take a bagel, spread with cream cheese, Make a cute face out of
olives on cream cheese. Kids love them.

Ketchuped Olives
- Emily Eaton

Chop up an 1/2 cup of black olives and pour it into a small bowl. Next pour 2 1/3 cups of ketchup in the same bowl as your diced black olives. After that mix your diced black olives with your ketchup. Taste with tasty Olive Fries by Kryssi Carbajal who is doing this with me!

Taco Bean Dip

We like taco-bean dip with black olives. You'll need one can of refried beans, one 2 cup package of shredded cheddar cheese, one small container of sour cream, one package of taco meat seasoning, one fresh tomato, one small jar of salsa and one can of black olives. Layer each ingredient on a cookie sheet and serve with corn chips for a great treat!
