Creamy Olive Nut Spread
Many years ago I discovered this recipe at an evening of playing Bunco. Remember Bunco?! On this particular night, someone made tea sandwiches with the most delicious spread and I immediately fell in love. The combination of the creamy, salty, and nutty taste is the perfect trio of flavors. If you’ve never had it, give it a try!
Mexican Cheese Torte
Cinco de Mayo is just days away and how better to celebrate than with a yummy Mexican style cheese torte! During my catering years, I developed this recipe to serve as an Hors D’oeuvre and it looks and tastes fantastic when served with assorted crackers. The base is cream cheese, and with a few easy additions and toppings, it becomes a flavorful, colorful cheese spread. This dish quickly became a client favorite and was requested time and again.
Bloody Mary Veggie Soup
This recipe for vegetable soup is just a little different. If you like a good Bloody Mary, you are going to love this recipe. Bloody Mary mix in soup? Yes, I know it sounds odd, but it gives just the right amount of kick!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. It’ll spice up your lunch just fine.
Buttery Fire Crackers
A Ritz Cracker by itself is pretty tasty, but if you want to make it extraordinary, try this recipe. These buttery and spicy crackers are seemingly addictive! Serve with a dip or on a cheese and crudités tray. Magnifique!
Hickory Smoked Ham Salad
This is a great recipe to make when you have leftover ham. It can be made from scraps or a chunk of ham. This recipe uses fully cooked deli ham, but you can use ham that has been baked for a family dinner or any type of left-over cooked ham that needs to be used. Freezing leftover ham is always an option, but this recipe will give your ham an extended life for lunches and snacks.
