We first tried this tasty dish when we were traveling through the Bluegrass State in 2006. I have searched for recipes and this one is the closest thing for us. Note: Pecans or Walnuts can be subsituted for the Cashews, which we prefer.
Kentucky Olive Nut Spread
1/2 package or 4 oz of cream cheese softened
1/3 cup cashews
1/3 cup green olives with pimentos
Crackers or Bread
Mix first three ingredients well in a food processor.
Serve spread on crackers or bread of your choice.

DAY ONE: Our first stop was Magazine Street, a shopping district to the south of the French Quarter from Canal […]
New Orleans has always been one of our favorite cities to visit. Not only is there a lot to do, there is a lot to eat. This particular trip with our boys was going to be a combined Dixiedining.com eating tour of New Orleans and an educational History Class field trip. Our home base was […]
