Answer 3

I love to make a "stinky cheeseball" or "cucumber salad".
Stinky Cheeseball (doesnt really stink... just a name!)
2 pkgs. 8 oz cream cheese
1 jar dried beef
worchesterchire sauce (about 1/2 Tbs.)
Accent Seasoning (about 1-2 tsp.)
Shred up dried beef by hand and mix all ingredients by hand.. it's really messy, but what the heck. Form into whatever shape you want and place it on a plate. Serve it with crackers like Club crackers.

Cucumer Salad
About 5 large cucumbers, diced
2 to 3 large tomatoes, diced and seeded
1 large onione, chopped
1 bottle of Zest Italian Dressing
Mix up all ingredients. Let chill for a couple hours... sooo good.

Answer 4

well, one option is take a recipe you've used before, and alter it.
You make Chocoalte Cobbler, or even Almond Pudding Loavs.

ALMOND PUDDING LOAF

1 1/2 cups toasted, and finely chopped almonds, divided
2 1/2 cups biscuit mix
4 eggs
2/3 cup milk (it's hard to find a measuring cup of this measure,
but there are some times, recipes that call for it. IT don't figure.)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
3 1/2 ounces instant vanilla pudding or prepared pudding

For the glaze (why is my key board sticky?)

1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 Tablespoons milk (yes you culd use rice milk or soy milk)
1 tsp almond or vanilla extract

Heat oven to 350 f. Grease four 6x4 inch loaf pans. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of almonds.
Beat remaining almonds with the biscuit mix, eggs, milk, oil, pudding and sugar on low speed, for 30 seconds. Then beat on medium for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl, occassionally. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake 50 5o 55 minutes. Immediately remove from pans; cool completely on rack.
For the glaze, mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Beat until smooth. Spread over cooled bread. Makes 4 loaves. But you might want to double it to make 8.

Answer 7

Try little mini quiches. Use a mini cupcake tin and roll out your crust thin. Cut rounds with a tin can (both ends cut out of the can so its a ring) and then just press the rounds of crust into the cupcake tins. Make the quiche filling of your choice and put a tablespoon or so of filling into each mini crust. Bake for 30 min until the quiches are set. Its impressive but not terrible difficult to make, especially if you use the pre-rolled crusts on the market these days.

If you want something yummy and easy try corn tortilla chips with my Mexican style salsa:
10 roma tomatoes
10 serrano peppers
1 small onion
1 lime, juice only
3 garlic cloves
cilantro
a dash of salt (to taste), oregano and white pepper
In a blender mix all the ingredients, if you need extra salt added and you are done!!
