Smart Solution of the Day

Olive and Date Appetizers

Instead of the usual cheese and crackers, serve dates and olives stuffed with blanched almonds the next time you have guests (see photo). If you can't find blanched almonds at the store, do them yourself. Just boil almonds for about 10 minutes, drain and cool. The dark skin should rub off easily. Pit the dates and olives and fill cavity with almonds.
