Vickie, one of my officemates, brought in some little olive sandwiches and I got to try one. Delicious! I thought they would be perfect to serve at my Mother’s Day Tea Party. She told me what all she put in hers (cream cheese, garlic powder, a little ranch dressing….) but I can’t remember what all the ingredients were that she used and I didn’t write anything down so I decided to try and make my own version when I got home. My sandwiches are simpler with less ingredients in the filling, but I think they came out just as good.

My mother used to make me cream cheese and olive sandwiches when I was sick. They made me feel special and pampered. Yours are a little fancier, but still conjure up childhood memories. Thanks!
Isn’t that funny? And here I’d never heard of olive sandwiches before my co-worker brought them in to the office. I sure thought they were yummy, though.
