By the way, if you are wondering about the photographer of the amazing pecan appetizer photo go check her website out. [Jennifer Davick Photography](http://jenniferdavick.com) She has some amazing images.  I love great food photos and if I ever get around to writing that cookbook I have dreams of writing then I know who I would like to do the photography!\n\n*   > # \"Cream Cheese-and-Olive Pecan Bites Recipe\"\n    > \n    > \"3 ounces cream cheese, softened\n    \n*   > 1/2 cup finely chopped pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives\n    \n*   > 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives\n    \n*   > 1/4 teaspoon pepper\n    \n*   > 80 large toasted pecan halves\n    \n\n### Preparation\n\n1.  > Stir together cream cheese, olives, chives, and pepper.
