Italian Pepperoni Bites

Do you have any recipes that you have had forever, but have forgotten about them??  This is one of those!  I cut this recipe out of a magazine YEARS ago and haven't made it in forever!  I'm so glad I stumbled across it because I forgot how yummy and easy it was!!  I think these are intended to be an appetizer, but I make them a little bigger and we eat them for dinner.  Either way, try them!  They won't disappoint!!

Italian Pepperoni Bites

1 package (3.5 oz) sliced pepperoni, chopped

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 tomato, chopped

3/4 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp prepared pesto

2 packages (10 oz each) refrigerated flaky biscuits

Preheat oven to 350.  In bowl, combine pepperoni, cheese, tomato, mayonnaise, and pesto.

 (Now, the original recipe says to cut each biscuit in half and to use a mini muffin pan, but I don't cut them in half and use a regular muffin pan.)  Place biscuits into greased muffin cups, pressing gently to fit cups.  Spoon 1 tablespoon (more if you are doing regular cups) into each cup.  Bake 20 - 25 minutes.  Serve warm.

How good do they look???  :)

You can serve them as an appetizer, or throw a salad together and have them for dinner.  They are SO GOOD!!!  Enjoy!  :)

No-name dip!

Yep,  you read the title right...I have no name for this amazing dip.  My friend Leslie introduced it to me a few years ago and I've never known what it is called.  What I do know, is that it is TASTY and is always eaten super fast!!  If you have a party to attend where you need to bring something, or if you are going to have some friends over, whip this up...it does not dissapoint!  Don't be alarmed by the ingredients...I PROMISE, it is DELISH!

No-name dip!

2 cups of shredded cheese (I used colby/monterey jack)

3 green onions sliced

Combine first four ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

 Spread dip out onto platter.

 Spread raspberry jelly over the top and serve with crackers.  (I love it with Wheat Thins.)

Yes, that is IT!!  It takes all of 5 minutes to prepare.  Enjoy!  :)

Cream Cheese Christmas Tree!

I had to take a salty item to a Christmas party on Monday, and I of course turned to Pinterest to see what cute things I had pinned. I immediately decided to make this...I have taken this item to many Bunco nights, but fell in love when it is shaped like a tree! The best part is it takes about 2 minutes to prepare and it is PRECIOUS!

Cream Cheese Christmas Tree

1 block cream cheese

1 bottle Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce (Fischer & Wieser is my favorite!!!)

1 green pepper

Cilantro or Parsley

Wheat Thins

Cut your cream cheese diagonally and put together as a triangle. Cut a star and a trunk out of your green pepper. Pour sauce over cream cheese and sprinkle cilantro or parsley over the top. Done!

Isn't that fun?!? I just loved the way it looked on a red plate too! It also tastes fabulous and gets devoured very quickly. Enjoy! :)
