Jalapeno Coins



I love the flavor of jalapeno but am not a fan of really spicy heat.  These coins are perfect for me, not too hot and great flavor.  I made these for a party a few years ago and the people devoured them and told me how great and unique they were. They are easy to make and you can make them ahead by deep frying and freezing them on a cookie sheet in a single layer.  Once frozen, you can place into a freezer zipper bag.  To reheat, just place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees until hot.

Mini Crescent Dogs AKA Mini Pigs-in-a-Blanket

 
The Superbowl is nearing and here is another great game treat!  Best part of all is that there are only two ingredients.  One package of Lil Smokies or Cheddar Smokies and a tube of refrigerated Crescent Rolls.

Super Easy Lemon Crisp Cookies


 
Boy, oh, boy, did Pillsbury drop the ball on this one.  I had purchased a box of their Moist Supreme Lemon cake mix and tucked away on the side panel of the box was a recipe titled Lemony Crisps.  It was hardly noticeable but I saw it and looked interesting and cut it out for my archives.  Then, decided to give it a try.  LOVE THEM!!!  Someone asked me for the recipe and I said no problem, it was Pillsbury I will just go to their web site and give it to you.   Ummmm, it's not there.  Why would they omit this recipe from their collection?  I have no idea!  So, I will share this with you in case you missed it too.  Please note that with all cookies I make, I use a parchment lined cookie sheet for baking.  I like how the cookies turn out cooked on the parchment paper and sticking is no issue.

Ro-Tel Cucumber Salsa


I started this blog in May 2011 and my second blog post was for Refreshing Cucumber Salsa which is a fresh salsa I love!  Well, here is it winter, tomatoes are blah, what's a girl to do if she wants this fresh salsa now?  You turn to canned tomatoes, in this case, I used Ro-Tel tomatoes which are diced tomatoes with green chilies.  Who would of thought? It is excellent and with the added punch of the diced chilies M-m-m-m-m!  If you don't want the extra spice, you can use regular canned diced tomatoes.

Thatsa Spicy Meatball


Meatballs are so good, they are very popular during the holiday season as well as football season, or heck, what am I saying, any kind of get together (he-he, I am having this for dinner with scallop potatoes)!  Remember these yummy bits for your upcoming Superbowl party!  First of all, let me get the introductions out, Sweet Baby Ray, meet Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce.  Didn't know Frank's Red Hot Sauce put out a Sweet Chili Sauce? Well, let me just say, it is awesome! The famous Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce goes perfect with Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce AND meatballs!   It's not too spicy, but if you want an extra kick, you are more than welcome to add a teaspoon of red chili flakes, after all, make it taste to YOUR liking.
