I cut head of lettuce in half - pull out some of the insides. Stuff with a mixture of cream cheese with chives, sweet onions, nuts, green olives cut up, It's been a long time since I've made this. Put the two halves together - wrap in moist paper towel, then with tin foil. Refrigerate for a few hours. Cut in wedges and serve a wedge to each person. Add you own ideas to mixture.

Ingredients:

1 head baby iceberg lettuce 2 tablespoons smoked pecans

Can You Dig It?

Christmas is only weeks away and we have many holiday tips, but we are so missing showcasing fabulous birthday parties and birthday party planning doesn’t stop when the holidays are here. Sooooooo

Dig this adorable Construction Birthday Party for Theo. Jessica Levitt hosts a blog called Juicy Bits and she whipped together this fabulous 2nd birthday party for her son and we hope it inspires you.

Take note of the way Jessica of selected a color palette to compliment the construction theme and she also incorporated a logo. She even has fun with patterns within the selected color scheme. The pictures say it all…..we especially love that she had a landscaper make a surprise appearance and give the kids rides on his back hoe. Creative.

Jessica gave all of the children construction hats and created a sand table for them to play and build in. We love the signs in the sand and all of the yellow construction trucks.

We love the bolt in the bowls to stop them from flying away.

Dig In..cracks us up...get it.

Holiday Appetizer

Better Homes and Gardens updates everyone’s favorite cheese ball…..done in mini-size to look like Christmas ornaments, and served in a footed bowl…..yummy and pretty!

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 6 ounces semi-soft goat cheese (chevre) or crumbled feta cheese
• 24 pickled jalapeno pepper slices* or small pimiento-stuffed green olives, well drained
• 1/2 cup dried red sweet pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup snipped fresh cilantro
• 1/3 cup chopped toasted pumpkin seeds
  

Directions

1. In a medium bowl stir together the cream cheese and the goat or feta cheese until smooth. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
2. Using a rounded tablespoon of the cheese mixture, form it around a jalapeño slice or green olive, completely enclosing the pepper or olive.** Mixture will be sticky; moisten hands as necessary. (Chill mixture if it becomes too soft to handle.) Place shaped balls on a shallow pan. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
3. Roll one-third of the balls in the red sweet peppers, one-third in the cilantro, and one-third in the pumpkin seeds to coat, leaving some white showing. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours. Serve with picks. Makes 24 appetizers.

*Note: Hot peppers contain oils that can burn eyes, lips, and sensitive skin, so wear plastic gloves while preparing them and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
**Note: For smaller balls, use a rounded teaspoon of the cheese mixture and omit the jalapeño slices or pimiento-stuffed green olives. Shape into balls.

For other great holiday appetizers check out You've Got Supper...we love the crock pot Brie, with Orange, Cranberries and Pecans.

Santa Photo Op

Here comes Dancer, Prancer, Donna, Blitzen, Cameron, Kim, Tracy, Savannah, Ansley and Janie…seriously can there be more people coming and going in your homes during the holiday season!!??

Make everyone pause for a moment and document the fun by creating a “Santa Photo Op”

How to do it: Set up a chair near your Christmas tree and place a basket of accessories next to the chair. We suggest Santa hats, Santa beard, reindeer antlers, a Rudolph nose, scarves, ski hats, etc. Set a Polaroid camera or your digital camera (rollip.com) next to the chair so you are ready to take photos at a moments notice.

When guests stop by they have to put on some festive accessories and sit in the “Santa Chair” and get their picture taken. We find this hilarious and the guests get into it too. Yes, we have even made the guys fixing our lawn do it, the nice older neighbor that dropped off cookies and we have many, many, many photos of our children’s friends doing their best Santa impressions.

Take all of the pictures and incorporate your Santa Photo Ops into your Christmas 2009 Photo Album. The photos will crack you up up for years and years and years!
