Jane’s Cheeseball

We’d first also chosen this cheeseball to be on our party food list. While shopping yesterday we decided that we had enough food & cheesy items and cut this from the list. But I wanted to post the recipe because it’s probably the only cheese ball I’ve ever loved.
Ingredients
8 oz sharp cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c mayo
dash of Worcestershire
dash of red pepper
dash of lemon juice
dash of onion salt or seasoning salt
Ritz crackers
Directions
Grate cheese & mix in cream cheese. Mix the other ingredients. Form into a ball. You can roll in nuts at the point if you desired. Chill in freezer. Take out of freezer about 2 hours before you serve with Ritz crackers.

Layered Balck Bean Dip

Not trying to spoil ya’ll too much, but Beth’s new blog & daily blog posts as inspired me! While going through recipes & pictures recently I realized I hadn’t posted this easy taco layered dip recipe.
Ingredients
1 package of cream cheese, softened
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies, drained
1 c mexican style shredded cheese
Directions
Spread cream cheese onto bottom of shallow dish (used 9 in pie pan). Layer with beans then tomatoes then cheese. Serve with tortilla chips. Found this in Kraft Foods magazine & it says ingredients can all be mixed together & served that way as well. But I think the layered looks nicer.

Engagement Party Food & Drink Recipes

If I’ve been MIA recently, its because I’ve been on a house cleaning rampage for the engagement party at our house this Saturday night. Its being given by Jason & I (MoH), Beth (the MaidoH), and (another) Beth (BM) & her husband Dave. We’ve been working really hard to make this a success. Here’s the food list & recipes if they’re not already in the blog. I’ll post pictures of the event later on.

Veggie tray (cherry tomatoes, broccoli, baby carrots, celery) with Salsa Ranch Dip (3/4 cup chunky salsa, 16 oz sour cream, & package of ranch dip mix)

Buffalo Chicken Dip with scoops
3/4 cup buffalo sauce (I use Texas Pete Buffalo Sauce)
1.5 c ranch dressing
2 small cans or 1 large can of chicken
2 cups fancy shredded cheddar cheese (the thinner shredded melts easier)
12 oz cream cheese (low fat or fat free ok)
Mix all items together & bake at 350 for 30 mins (stirring couple times) or mix in crock pot.

Turkey Roll Ups
2 pkg crescent rolls
1 lb turkey sliced thin
spinach
garlic & herb alouette cheese spread
Flatten out crecent rolls, top with alouette spread, layer with spinch, top with turkey. Roll it all up. Cut into 1/2 inch or so slices (like cut & bake cookies). Place on baking sheet. Bake on 350 for 15 min or until crescent rolls golden brown.

Spinach Artichoke Squares

Baked Brie
wedge of Brie
1 pkg of crescent rolls
1 small jar of raspberry jam
1 small package of chopped walnuts
Roll out crescent rolls, place Brie on crescent roll, cover cheese with crescent roll. Brush little bit of melted butter over top & bake on 350 until crescent rolls golden brown (15 min or so). Top with raspberry jam & walnuts

Mom’s Meatballs
frozen meatballs
Place meatballs in large crockpot. Cover with these items using the following ratio. I think I usually tripple.
3 oz grape jelly
12 oz Heinz Chili Sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice

Poppy Seed Ham Rolls/Biscuits
3 packages of small rolls or biscuits (Pepperidge Farm)
3/4 pound of Swiss cheese
1.5 pounds of ham, very thinly sliced
2 sticks of butter
1 small onion
1 tsp Worchestershire Sauce
3 tsp mustard (I use brown mustard)
3 tbsp poppy seeds
Directions
Chop onion into very small pieces. In skillet melt the butter. Add onion, mustard & poppy seeds. Continue cooking until the onions are translucent & the sauce thickens.
Slice the rolls through the middle (easiest if you keep them connected). If you use biscuits, just open them up. Spreadthe sauce on the bottom. Top with ham then swiss cheese. Cover with any remaining sauce. Cover with top of roll. Can also brush sauce on top of rolls.
Wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Strawberries & Pineapples served with Heavenly Fruit Dip

Costco Cake

Beth’s Diana’s punch
1 fifth Southern Comfort
1 can frozen limade
1 large can pineapple juice

Spinach Dip

I also got this recipe from Kelly’s Korner’s recipe blog. Its a lil twist on the normal spinach dip. I made it last night for a Chi O Alum event that I hosted. I think everyone enjoyed it~ there was none left at the end of the night! I made this in my mini crock-pot instead of baking/microwaving as her recipe says.
Ingredients
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach
8 oz cream cheese (used light)
8 oz monteray jack cheese (I used mozzerella because I had that already, but I think the extra spice from the jack would’ve been good)
6 oz parm cheese
1 can rotel tomatoes
Directions
Thaw spinach & drain. Add ingredients to crock pot. Served with pretzel chips & melba toast.
Kelly’s recipes says to cook spinach, add cheese & microwave (3-5 mins) until melted & liquid. Add rotel and mix.

Mexican Veggie Dip

Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 c sour cream
1 packet of taco seasoning
Directions
Combine ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, til flavors are blended. Serve with assorted raw veggies or tortilla chips.

I made this for the baby shower as well. It wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be, but it was really good with both chips & veggies. I thought it was a good switch up from the basic ranch dips usually served with veggies.
