Tortilla pinwheels...roll up whatever ingredients you desire.

I love those dang things. I'm up making a couple of sides to take home with me this afternoon but no appetizers.

I don't know the type of crowd you have but my daughter makes beer dip for pretzels that goes pretty fast:

Ingredients:


16oz Softened Cream Cheese

2 cup Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 pkg Dry Ranch Dressing Mix

½ cup Beer, plus or minus depending on the consistency you desire

Seasoned Salt, to taste


Directions:

Mix all ingredients, and allow to chill. Serve with small pretzels.

Helpful Tips:

This is one of those recipes that when the party is over, you have a clean bowl! Also, be sure and have the recipe available because everyone will want it. ***Note - the longer this chills, the better (so flavors can mix). However, before serving, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften.

Show Stopper Penguins

1 can Jumbo black olives
1 can Small (or Medium) black olives
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 or 2 carrots

1. Slice the carrot into about 1/8th inch slices. Cut a V shape notch out of each slice (the big piece of the pie is the feet, the small slice is the beak).
2. Slit one Jumbo olive, lengthwise, and stuff with about 1 tsp. cream cheese (I rounded the teaspoons into little balls, first, and it helped a little).
3. Insert the small carrot wedge into the "x" on a small olive.
4. Line up the head, body, and feet, and secure with a toothpick.
5. Prepare to hear, "Aaaaww!! How cute!"
6. Refrain from naming your penguins.

More of a fun dessert than an appetizer.
Ringel's Show Stopper Penguins reminded me of my little army of snowmen so I thought I'd share. I haven't made these in several years. Too bad, cuz they too are wicked cute.
