Wrapped Pickles

Lunch meat of your choice - turkey or ham or other
Cream cheese - softened or tub of soft cream cheese
Pickles - sweet or dill (I usually get small sized pickles)

take a slice (or two if thin) of lunch meat
pat dry with paper towel if needed
spread with cream cheese
put on pickle
roll up
slice to bit size

everyone at Bunko loves these

All you do is wrap smokies in puff pastry and bake? Sounds easy!

I like to take fruit salad -- pineapple chunks, cantalope balls and strawberries. Low cal and very tasty -- and easy to make.

Here's another one that's delicious and super easy:

SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE

2 cans crescent rolls
1-8oz cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together:
½ c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick of butter (melted)

Spread crescent rolls on bottom of buttered 9x13 pan.

Blend sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese. Spread cream cheese mixture on bottom layer of rolls.

Take the other package of rolls and spread on top of the cream cheese.

Drizzle the melted butter, sugar and cinnamon over the top.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.




There are a bazillion variations on this recipe. I've added a half a jar of prepared Key Lime Pie Filling or a can of Cherry or Apple Pie Filling in between the cream cheese and the top crust and any of them are delicious. There are savory variations which omit the sugar and cinnamon and instead substitute things like salt and herbs, ham or prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes and Greek olives and olive oil.

1 cup mushrooms, chopped

Mix altogether. Pour it in a pie crusts. (two)

This is delicious. People always asks me for the recipe when I bring this dish to a pot luck.
