    Won Ton Appetizers

    1 lb. Italian Sausage (mild)- cooked and crumbled
    1-1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
    1-1/2 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
    1 packet Hidden Valley Mix Dressing (prepared according to packet)
    2-1/4 oz. can small black olives sliced/diced
    1/2 c. diced red bell pepper
    1/2 c. diced green bell pepper
    1 pkg. won ton wrappers
    Sour Cream
     
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
     
    Combine all ingredients excluding won ton wrappers in a bowl.
     
     
     
    Spray cupcake pans with cooking spray.  You can either use mini cupcake pans or regular sized cupcake pans. 
     
     
    Push won ton wrappers with your thumb down inside each cupcake pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 5 min. without filling.
     
     
     
    Take out of oven and put filling inside each wrapper and return to oven. And continue to bake until cheese is
    bubbly and edges of won ton wrappers are golden.  Serve with a dallop of sour cream and enjoy!
     
     
     

    Pickle Dip

     
    1 cup or more of chopped pickles (I use hamburger slices)
    pickle juice
    2 cream cheese blocks (softened)
    pretzels
     
    With a fork mix the cream cheese and pickles and pickle juice together.  It takes a lot of hard mixing but it is definitely worth it.  Then serve with pretzels.  I know it sounds like a weird combo bu it is always a big hit no matter where I take it.

    Merry Christmas

      Jesus Is The Reason

    In Bethlehem, God gave to us
    The source of Christmas joy;
    A star shown on a miracle:
    The virgin birth of a boy.

    He was born both God and man,
    A Savior for us all,
    The way to get to our heavenly home,
    If we just heed His call.

    So as we shop and spend and wrap
    And enjoy the Christmas season,
    Let's keep in mind the sacred truth:
    Jesus is the reason.
