Slicing Olives

We love olives around here, I mean really love olives. We aren't even stuck on the fancy ones either, I swear my husband and the Snickerdoodle have some sort of olive sense because when I open up a can of black olives, they magically appear in the kitchen. Sometimes I want to put them in a recipe whole, sometimes not so I always buy whole and just slice them down when necessary. Tonight it hit me that there was an easier way:

Yep, that's my egg slicer. Perhaps everyone already knows this trick and I'm just slow to the party but I'm here now and I'm really glad because those slices sure did look and taste good in our pasta salad!

Got any good kitchen tricks you'd like to share? Please do, I love to cook and am always looking for prep work shortcuts.

Thank you for reading,
