APPETIZERS
FRUIT SLUSH (I have done this for a ladies luncheon at church and Jen's
bridal shower, just freeze in those squatty clear plastic cups)
12 oz. cans orange juice 3 cans water 1 pkg frozen strawberries 1 large cans crushed pineapple 1 can mandarin oranges 3 mashed bananas 3/3 cup sugar (more or less 1/2) Mix together and pour into cups. Take out 30 minute prior to serving. Makes 12-14 cups (small Dixie cups) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chicken Wing Dip
2 - 8 oz cream cheese (not fat free) 1 cup blue cheese dressing 6 to 8 oz Frank's Red Hot sauce 3 to 4 drops Tabasco sauce 2 cups of cooked, diced chicken or 2 cans of chicken breast (drained) 1 cup diced celery (optional) 8 oz Monterey Jack shredded cheese Melt 1 cream cheese at a time on medium heat, stir in dressing & Red Hot sauce. Remove from heat and add chicken & celery. Pour into 13 x 9 pan. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese & bake at 350 deg for 25 minutes Serve with Scoop Tortillas. Also lower carb if served w/ celery sticks. ------------------------------------------------- CANDLE APPETIZERS 2 pkgs Crescent rolls 2 pkgs. (8 oz.) Cream cheese 2/3 cup mayo 1 tbsp. dill 1 tbsp. garlic powder Assorted vegetables of your choice Do not unroll crescents. Slice each roll into 16 pieces. With a custard cup as your guide, place slices around overlapping slightly to form a candle ring. Bake at 375º for 11 to 13 minutes. Cool completely. You can make these up to 8 hours ahead. Mix together cream cheese, mayo, dill & garlic powder. Spread evenly over crescents. Top with finely chopped carrots, broccoli, onions, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red or green pepper, cauliflower, etc. This may be assembled up to 2 hours ahead and covered and placed in the refrigerator. NOTE: This can be adapted at Christmas by shaping the crescents into a Christmas tree shape and cutting a yellow bell pepper into a star for the top and using lots of red and green veggies.
------------------------------------------------- Hot beef dip 8 oz. cream cheese 2 tbsp. milk 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 1/2 chopped onions 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 tbsp. garlic salt 5 oz. dried beef. Mix all together. In saucepan, brown 2 tbsp. of butter and 1/2 chopped walnuts or pecans. Pour onto mixture. Bake 20 - 30 minutes at 350°. Serve with Wheat Thins. ------------------------------------------------- Water chestnuts and bacon 2 cans whole water chestnuts 1/2 pound bacon brown sugar Roll water chestnuts in brown sugar, wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around, putting side down on baking sheet, bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees or until bacon is crispy. ------------------------------------------------- Hot wings (lots of work-- but worth it) 1- 5 lb. bag of chicken wings, thawed 2 cups flour 2 cups plain bread crumbs 1/2 cup claified butter (melt butter and only use liquid, not solids on bottom) 2 cups Franks Hot sauce Tabasco to taste, we like it hot so probably use about 2 tbsp. Mix together bread crumbs and flour, bread wings and deep fry until golden brown and then bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and marinate in hot sauce, butter and Tabasco. Broil for another 5-7 minutes per side. If you are doing Atkins, skip the breading and just deep fry the wings. MMMMM! ------------------------------------------------- Easy chili dip In the bottom of a pie plate, spread 8 oz softened cream cheese, top with a can of no bean chili and then 6 to 8 oz shredded cheddar. Microwave or bake until cheese is melted. Serve with Tostidos. Kids and men really like this. ------------------------------------------------- My famous appetizers (ha ha) 2 pkg crescent rolls 8 oz cream cheese 3 - 4 tbsp onion (pretty with green onions and roasted red peppers at Christmas) bottle of REAL bacon bits (I use the bags from Sam's club, saves me lots of money and time from frying bacon) Roll out crescents into two rectangles so it is longer left to right. Mix together cream cheese, onion and bacon to taste. Spread over crescent rolls and roll up top to bottom. Slice into 16 even slices. Bake at 375 degrees for 11-13 minutes.

Buckeyes Mileah Elder And yes, you will thank me, it's worth it! You will need a double boiler, medium heat, low once all contents are melted. Do not be too eager to melt it in a hurry, good things take time, and chocolate, like life, is such a shame to waste. Put in double boiler: 12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips 1 and ½ cakes paraffin wax- (this is canning wax and yes it is edible) 4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate Stir contents to ensure melting is thorough. Mix into separate bowl the following: 18 oz peanut butter, smooth if you please! 3 cups rice crispies, must be fresh not stale for goodness sake! 1 pound of 10X powdered sugar 1 Cup real butter, no substitutes, this is not weight watchers! Make bite size balls out of this lovely mixture, (I sure hope you have already removed your rings), place on waxed paper on cookie sheets. Now the real fun begins , just as your house is smelling like Willie Wonka's chocolate factory! Dip each and every ball into the melted chocolate, and place on waxed paper on cookie sheet. You can repeat the process if you have a lot of left over chocolate and cant think of another way to rid yourself of this special dark chocolate, can be poured into a waxed mold for chocolates, be creative. Chill the buckeyes in frig or freezer at least for 4 hours, until hard as rocks. Can be placed into Ziploc bags for easier storeage once hard. ENJOY! Mileah Elder Peach Cobbler
