The microwave works great to cook the spinach.

You might need to buy:

  • salt and pepper to taste
Belongs to cokerlj Stuffed Jalapenos 
  • Currently 5/5 Stars.
  • Star_small_rt

These sound like they would be really hot…but I don’t like hot stuff and I loved these! I think the trick is cleaning out all those ribs and seeds. (You might want to use plastic gloves to protect your fingers.)
You can use one of those “grill pans” that have little holes in it for grilling fish or vegetables.

You might need to buy:
  • thin sliced bacon cut into 1/3's
  • shredded cheese
  • each 8 oz. packages cream cheese

  • Star_small_rt

Always gets compliments.
My daughter makes hers different…she leaves out the Miracle Whip or sour cream, adds finely chopped fresh jalapeno and ALWAYS uses fresh lime, does not use salsa. (Hate to admit it…but hers is much better!!)
Serve with chips.

You might need to buy:
  • garlic salt
  • picante sauce
  • Miracle Whip or sour cream
  • small tomato finely chopped
  • small onion finely chopped

Belongs to cokerlj Jimmy Dean Maple Cream Cheese Sausage Puffs 
  • Currently 5/5 Stars.
  • Star_small_rt

Amazing!
I usually double the recipe to make plenty to take somewhere.
You can either make in the small bite-size appetizer size for a party OR use the whole crescent for a breakfast serving.
You can also buy an extra tube of crescent rolls as I always have filling left over. You can make these up earlier in the day, cover with saran wrap and place in fridge as they are quite time consuming to make. Take out later, let come to room temp. and then bake.

You might need to buy:
  • Hot Breakfast Sausage
  • cream cheese softened
  • refrigerated crescent rolls
  • Jimmy Dean Maple Pork Breakfast Sausage
Belongs to cokerlj Stacy's Mexican Taco Pinwheels 
  • Currently 5/5 Stars.
  • Star_small_rt

Arrange on a platter with a bowl of picante sauce in the center for extra dipping.
Everyone loves these and they are so easy!
I did not list the amounts because it will depend upon how much you want to make. I usually start with 3 blocks cream cheese adding picante sauce until it tastes right and is a good spreading consistency.

You might need to buy:
  • picante sauce
  • soft flour tortillas
  • cream cheese
  • Tabasco sauce
Belongs to cokerlj Pumpkin Cheese Ball

No pumpkin in this cheese ball! But it is great to serve at a Halloween Party or Thanksgiving!
Serve with crackers OR red and green apple wedges arranged around your “pumpkin”.

You might need to buy:
  • ground red pepper
  • Chive & Onion cream cheese
  • paprika
  • broccoli stalk
Belongs to cokerlj Ranch Crackers 
  • Currently 5/5 Stars.
  • Star_small_rt

These are really good…people always ask “What in the world are these crackers made with?!”
They keep for a really long time, but they won’t last that long.
Sounds like they would be really soggy…but the crackers absorbs it all…also you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper used to your personal preference.
Serve like you would serve any other snack crackers or chips.

You might need to buy:
  • cayenne pepper
  • dry Ranch dressing mix
  • vegetable oil
  • saltine crackers

You can make this and serve in frosted mugs with a long handled ice tea spoon or in a large chilled bowl with “Tostitos Scoops” on the side for appetizer size servings.
Be careful in adding the jalapeno, Tabasco’s and Cajun sauces and spices as it is pretty hot…you might want to just add half the amount called for and then adjust to your personal preference.
My original recipe also called for adding Tequila…since I serve this and children might eat it, I don’t add the tequila.

You might need to buy:
  • cilantro sprigs for garnish
  • red Tabasco sauce
  • green Tabasco sauce
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Cajun Chef brand hot sauce or any other style like Louisiana brand hot sauce.
  • lime wedges for garnish
  • yellow jumbo onion chopped 1/4 inch
  • cilantro chopped fine
  • Heinz ketchup
  • fresh lime juice
  • avocado chopped 1/2 inch chunks
  • fresh jalapeno chopped fine and de-seeded
  • Roma tomatoes chopped 1/4 inch
  • cold water

This just doesn’t sound good at all, but it is great!! People can’t stop eating it.
Serve with nice wheat or “town house” type crackers.
You can find the dried beef where canned tuna and canned chicken is in the supermarket. It only comes in one size, I think 6 oz.
