  1. Delicious. Had some "everything" bagels and sliced them in to chips - perfect accompaniment. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. This really quenched my salt craving! I had this with some pita chips and boy were they yummy!
     
  3. Very good. The olives really came through. Used hot salsa and softened cream cheese combined all the ingredients to make for easier dipping. I much preferred tortilla chips to ritz for dipping.
     
  4. Quick and easy to put together! I used whole wheat Ritz crackers and loved it! Thanks Caroline!
     
  5. I love olives and so does my DH so one night for a quick snack I made up some of this. Am I glad I did! We had along with some bagel chips and we couldn't stop eating it! We will enjoy this many times! Thank you for sharing with us Caroline!

  1. Made this for a snack last night and we loved it! I am an olive addict, so I knew it would be great. We had them on tortilla chips instead of the crackers. Great recipe! Becky
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p><br />I love to cook, read and try new recipes. Marketing professional by education and business experience, but wrote cooking feature articles and a recipe column in the past--when my 2 sons were young. Also, owned a book shop for 5 years; carried lots of cookbooks; and, of course-- had to have one of each. LOL! Invited cookbook authors to signing events and would make some of their recipes for customers to sample. <br /><br />My philosphy is-- <br /><br />LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING, WOW! WHAT A RIDE! <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt= /> <img
