| A recipe I made up years ago for snacks at pot lucks and plant society meetings...
Tortilla or crepe roll ups 1 package Philly cream cheese
mix together add any mixture of (two or three at most) canned or fresh diced
Spread mixture on large flour tortillas (heavy)or crepes (light), roll them up, fridge
Powdered sugar, especially on the crepes, gives them a desert slant Put on table with tags telling content and stand back. Never take any home, they all disappear. |

| Thanks, Don. If my stove does not get installed in time, I make some of your snacks. Sounds easy enough. |
|
| Sounds a heck of a lot better than the so called salad Leone was asked to make for an upcoming church dinner. How you could even possibly call this concoction a salad is beyond me. Crushed pretzels and margarine mixed together and baked, then Cool Whip and cream cheese mixed together and dumped on the pretzel mix and to top it all off, strawberry jello spread across the top. She said "I'll make it but I won't eat it". I told her to cut it in flushable squares. |

| If she makes this instead do you think they would notice? ;^) |

| Yikes! Somebody eats this? I eat about anything, but that would turn me off too. Poor Leone. |

| Totally unfair to ask someone to make that mess, and it's called "salad"? |
|
| Don't knock it til you've tried it y'all. I've eaten this and it is good. The combination is strange but tasty. Strawberry Pretzel Salad Ingredients 2 cups crushed pretzels Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For the crust, mix the pretzels, butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Press this mixture into a 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 7 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar. Fold in the whipped topping, and spread over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until well chilled. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, and allow to cool slightly. Add the strawberries and pineapple, and pour over the cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, cut slices and serve with a dollop of whipped topping. |

| Thanks for the recipe, janice. it may taste good, but lordy me, it seems to have lot of sugar, processed food and empty calories. That would not fly here in CA. Interesting about regional food, |
