1/4 tsp. pepper

2 c. chicken, diced, cooked

1 c. celery, chopped diagonally

2 c. grapes, cut in half

some cashew pieces

some green onions, chopped

Mix together. Add grapes just before serving for best crunch. Serve on croissants or cream puffs.

Artichoke Dip

1 large can artichoke hearts

1 c. mayo (DO NOT use non-name brand, it makes it very greasy)

1/2 c. chopped onion

1 1/2 T. minced garlic

1 c. cheese-a mixture of parmesan, colby jack and mozzarella.

Strawberry Margarita Squares

1 1/4 c. crushed pretzels

1/4 c. butter or margarine, melted (I use a little more)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 c. pureed strawberries

1/2 c. lime juice

8 oz. cool whip

Mix pretzel crumbs and butter in 13x9 pan. Press firmly on bottom of pan. Refrigerate until ready to fill. Mix sweetened condensed milk, strawberries and lime juice in large bowl until well blended. Gently stir in cool whip. Pour over crust. Freeze 6 hours or overnight. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Oreo Truffles

1 package Oreo's

1 package cream cheese

1/2 tsp. vanilla

milk chocolate

white chocolate

Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese). Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheets. Refrigerate for 45 minutes. Melt chocolate and dip the balls. Make sure to coat thoroughly. Use a slotted spoon to drip of excess chocolate. Once cooled, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Tortilla Roll Ups

12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

2 T chopped green chili's

2 T finely chopped pecans

3 T chopped black olives (I think I put in more)

5 T minced green onions

1 clove minced garlic

6 eight inch tortillas

Mix ingredients in a bowl. Spread a thin layer on tortilla. Roll tightly and secure by wrapping in saran wrap (you can put them all together and in one piece to save on saran wrap) Must chill at least 3 hours. Slice into thin pieces just before serving. Serve with salsa!
