Treats for the Tots

Whether you prefer sliced California Ripe Olives to create little eyes, or whole-pitted as a plump, perky nose, we can all agree that our favorite black fruits come in handy when we want our kids’ food to smile right back at them. Then again, there’s more to California Ripe Olives than being the eyes (nose or mouth for that matter). And judging from your overwhelming response to our “Treats for Tots Contest”, you’ve known that all along!

BROILED CHICKEN PIZZA BUNS

Ingredients

6 Hamburger Buns halved
Butter or margarine
2 cups Chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup Chopped celery
1/4 cup Chopped green pepper
1 Tablespoon Chopped green onion
2 teaspoon Lemon juice
1/4 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Dash of pepper
3/4 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Sliced California Ripe Olives

Directions

Spread buns with butter and toast well. Blend chicken, celery, green pepper, onion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper together. Mix well. Spread on bun halves. Sprinkle with cheese & California Ripe Olives. Place on broiler pan about 4 inches from heat until cheese is hot and bubbly. Serve hot. Serves 6 kids.






From snacks like tortilla roll-ups and stuffed celery sticks to entrees and salads, when it comes to cooking for kids your creativity knows no boundries. While we struggled to narrow it down to one winner, we knew we had one when we came across Sheila Rowlands Broiled Chicken Pizza Buns. A yummy dinner, lunch or snack that will have your kids eating protein and vegetables all at once, this is exactly the type of recipe that the whole family can appreciate. Tell you more? Not a chance! Try it out yourself and we’ll let your tykes do the talking.

Congratulations to Sheila Rowlands. We hope she enjoys her California Ripe Olive apron and the case of California Ripe Olives that goes with it.
