PENGUIN MEAT RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Bell pepper or onion strips make the breast of each penguin. Blanch peppers or onions by placing in boiling water 20 seconds; plunge into ice water. Drain; set aside.
• Cut 16 diagonal slices (1/4-inch thick) from carrot. To make beaks, cut a small triangle from edge of each carrot slice; set aside. Place the carrot slices for the feet in small microwavable bowl. Cover; microwave on High 30 seconds. Uncover; set aside. For head of each penguin, make small hole in each of 16 meatballs to hold beak; push skewer through meatball, starting at top of head. To place beak, insert carrot triangle into small hole of each meatball, inserting tip of skewer into carrot to secure in place.
• Count out 16 additional meatballs to use for body of each penguin. Push skewer with first meatball (head) through 1 end of pepper or onion, then 1 meatball (body), and then through opposite end of pepper or onion. Continue pushing point of skewer into carrot slice with cutout facing forward as the feet.
• Place penguins in ungreased shallow pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until hot.

Steps:

• Hard boil as many eggs as you would like Penguins.
• Clean a "fat" carrot (first removing the green) and cut about an inch off the carrot from the top.
• Cut a notch (upside-down V,) in front and in back of the carrot . Your carrot now looks like penguin feet.
• After your eggs have cooled, peel the shell off.
• Take a long toothpick and put it into the center of the "feet".
• Slip the cooled hard boiled egg onto the toothpick, wide side down.
• Slip a short toothpick, through the egg. About half way up the egg.
• Cut a "beak" from a leftover piece of carrot
• Make a small nick in the middle of a jumbo pitted black olive and push the carrot (beak) into the olive.
• Place the olive on top of the toothpick, sticking out of the body, he now has a head!
• Get another black pitted olive and cut it in half.
• Place each half onto the "arms" of the short toothpick, penguin flippers!
• They look great in the middle of a plate of Deviled Eggs.
• No two penguins look alike and everyone loves them.
• Get creative, give them a scarf or cut the beak so that it's open".
• (Safety Note) Watch the toothpicks around kids, they will want to eat the penguins.
• (Second Safety Note) Watch the adults too.
