Answer 1

Crispy Cheese Poppers
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, stem and seeds removed, chopped
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
18 wonton wrappers (from a 16-ounce package), thawed if frozen
1-1/2 cups vegetable oil

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped jalapeño, and Parmesan cheese; mix well. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat work surface. Dip your fingers in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Seal the edges firmly with your fingers. Continue with the remaining cheese mixture and wonton wrappers. In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Fry the wontons in batches for 30 seconds per side, or until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.

Pretty, and tasty, but not particularly healthy.


Olive Roll ups


12 (or 16) green olives with pimentos
3 or 4 pieces of white bread, with crusts cut off
softened cream cheese ( or whipped cream cheese)



Take each piece of bread; roll it with a rolling pin so that it is thin.

Spread cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread. Take care to not rip the bread when spreading the cream cheese on it.
Place 3 or 4 olives, end to end across the bread and cream cheese layer.

roll up 1 slice of bread around the olives. like a jelly roll.

You may need to secure the roll with toothpicks if the olives are large.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, covered with plastic wrap.

Slice the bread/olive roll in the middle of each olive.


It will be a circular, bite size appetizer.
white on the outside, then green, then red in the center.
