Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

 I have a problem with the internet. It has websites on it. The websites have recipes on them. I have a printer. I like food. Do you see the problem?? Good. I'm glad you commiserate with me about how expensive ink is! I found this particular recipe on Taste of Home's awful page. I can't say that I built it, or even remotely imagined it. Only that it tastes extremely good, and I can give you the link for the recipe. I might get arrested for plagiarizing or something otherwise. Haha!

 Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

Enjoy!! :D

Mini Bagel Ham Things

 Please pardon me if this is a recipe that you have been eating since Kindergarten. I've met a lot of people who have never clapped eyes on the things. *ahem* I should say, they have never cast a lip over these things. EITHER WAY. THEY ARE GOOD and you should not live life without them. Give them a try and please don't tell me they are too difficult for your culinary abilities. ;)

 These are probably supposed to be an appetizer/snack food, but we have been known to eat them for supper with a side of fresh veggies & ranch to dip them in. The veggies in the ranch, I mean. Don't blame us if our Ham Thingies accidentally might have fallen into the ranch on their way to our mouths once in a while too! (Reece could probably take the blame for that accident.)

 

Mini bagels

Sliced deli ham

Cream cheese, softened

Sliced cheese

Cut the bagels in half, spread with cream cheese. Top each bagel half with ham and a slice of cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted; about 10 minutes.

Yummy Ham & Pickle Things

These things are so good it's ridiculous. I think they take forever to make, just because you have to have everything nice and dry... but they are SO GOOD!!!! It takes 3.5 seconds to empty a plate of them and 3.5 hours to make them. Not quite but they are really good. Or did I already say that once?

Dry off a bunch of baby dill pickles.

Break open a package or three of cream cheese, depending on how many of these you plan on making.

You use the deli sliced ham for this... and dab it dry with a paper towel so

the cream cheese sticks to it.

Spread each slice of ham with cream cheese, and slice the ham in half lengthwise.

If you have REALLY tiny pickles, you can use 4 pickles per slice of ham.

Just set a pickle on each end,

And roll toward the middle.

(If you're confused... I'm sorry. There is no more help for you on this blog.)

 Then cut it in half in between the pickles. Like this:

And here's the 'recipe' LOL!

Deli sliced ham

Cream cheese

Baby dill pickles

Dab the ham dry with a paper towel, spread with cream cheese. Slice the ham in half lengthwise and roll up some baby dills in the ham. I put one pickle on each end of the half ham slice, and roll them towards the middle. Slice them apart and set them all nice and purty on a serving tray.

Nutty Snack Mix

I prsonally LOVE salty snacks. AND I love Chex mix. But there's never enough nuts IN Chex Mix. And I didn't have any Chex cereal and I didn't feel like buying any. But I had Crispix. So I decided to make up my own nonsense. And I believe in Deluxe Mixed Nuts instead of the ones that are 49.999% peanuts.

Then you just need some butter, soy sauce, Worchestershire sauce -YES I know that's spelled wrong. I LIKE butchering that word!, Tabasco sauce, Lawry's and garlic powder.

Melt the butter with all the other stuff in a small pan on the stove.

Pour it over the Crispix and nuts in a big bowl and mix it well.

Spread onto a baking sheet or two and bake it until it's all good and crunchy.

Here 'tis:
1/4 C. butter
2 T. soy sauce
1 - 1  1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce - I used 8 drops of the green stuff (mild jalapeno kind) and 6 of the regular red kind
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 (21 oz.) can Deluxe mixed nuts -minus the ones you couldn't resist eating whien you opened the can
4-5 C. Crispix

Melt the butter and mix all the seasonings with it to your taste. Spread out on a cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for an hour. Stir occasionally... I usually stir the first time at 30 minutes and then every 15 minutes after that until it's as crunchy as I want it.
