unsinkable Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 chocolate chip cheese ball http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chip-Cheese-Ball/Detail.aspx This is so yummy and easy! Can serve it with teddy grahams -- the chocolate flavor is really great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I second the chocolate cheeseball! I've made it several times & people always love it. Another recipe is black bean salsa served with tortilla chips. It is pretty and soooo delicious that I can eat bowls of it without the chips!

KatieJ Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Won-Ton-Wrapper-Appetizers/Detail.aspx Wonton cup appetizers. They are really quite easy but delicious. I usually add some color of peppers to this recipe. I 2nd the cream cheese chocolate chip cheese ball. I served them at our daughters rehearsal dinner party we had inour back yard. Everyone loved them. I served several flavors of graham sticks..a tad more elegant than the teddy grahams. Not as cute tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRG Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 This sounds great, but where do I find raspberry chipotle sauce? It's on the same aisle as bbq sauces and marinades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I second the chocolate cheeseball! I've made it several times & people always love it. Another recipe is black bean salsa served with tortilla chips. It is pretty and soooo delicious that I can eat bowls of it without the chips! Yum! I make something similiar - we call it black bean salad. 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed 1 tomato, diced 1 pepper (orange is pretty, green is cheaper), diced 1 can shoepeg corn 1/2 onion, diced (I use sweet yellow.) 1 avacado, diced juice of one lime You can serve with tortilla chips. My husband likes it topped with shredded cheese & sour cream, but it is tasty just as it is. It is great the second day, but we rarely have any left!

angieathome Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Pimiento cheese spread is a southern staple, usually served with crackers or celery, (or made into sandwiches on white bread, no crusts, LOL.) 8 oz of New York state extra sharp cheese (or other sharp cheddar) grated finely with a hand-turn grater 4 oz jar of diced pimiento (drained) approximately 1 cup mayo (not Miracle Whip) Add this a little at a time until you get a creamy consistency. black pepper---lots (this is your "secret ingredient") Start with 1/4 tsp & then add from there. Go for "perky", not "peppery." You can add more cheese if you like it cheesier with less pimiento. You just need more mayo to compensate. If you buy the store-made spread, it will be sweeter. The authentic southern recipe is not sweet at all. YUMMY!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one woman's "specialty" and boy was it good! Cheesy, creamy, yummy with the tang of pimento. Did I say yummy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
