Spicy Shrimp Spread
|
1/2 pound frozen salad shrimp
1 fresh jalapeno, halved and seeded
1 medium clove garlic, peeled
8 ounces cream cheese
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch of sugar
Directions:
Put jalapeno and garlic in food processor, blender or mince very very
fine. Add remaining ingredients except shrimp. Process until smooth. Add
shrimp and just process until coarsely chopped. Can be refrigerated up
to 2 days. I would serve this with thin crackers, bagel chips or pita
crisps.

Cheese Dip
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law years ago. It started out as a
cheese ball and along the way became a dip for everything! You can serve
with pretzels, crackers, bagel or pita chips. It tastes good with
everything!
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese
1 jar Roca cheese spread from Kraft
1 jar Old English spread from Kraft
Dash garlic powder
Directions:
Mix it all together; the cheese should be soft to do this. Be sure to
take out of the refrigerator so it can be room temperature to serve.
Pistachio Bread
This is another family recipe. A holiday doesn't go by that one of us
doesn't make this!
Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
1 box instant pistachio pudding
1/4 cup oil
1/2 pint sour cream
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Mix all ingredients with a mixer until blended. In another bowl mix
these ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup crushed walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon cinnamon
This makes two loaves. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter pans. Start
with a layer of the bread mixture, then sprinkle on the nut mixture,
another layer of bread mixture, and at the end sprinkle the top with the
nut mixture and marble it all with a knife through the batter. This does
not have to be exact as far as the layers as long as you distribute it
in both loaves and then marble. Bake for one hour; or when toothpick
comes clean.
