Easy Appetizer and Great Snack Idea

Do you need something extremely quick and easy to serve or take to a party?  Here is a quick and easy sweet treat that everybody loves, especially children!  And all you need is a box of Nabisco Nilla Vanilla Wafers and a tub of Alouette Berries n Cream Cheese Spread.  Alouette only brings out it’s Berries n Cream flavor this time of year.  And most major newspaper’s coupon sections have had a .75 cent off coupon for any of the Alouette Cheese Spread flavors.   If you see the Berries n Cream flavor, snap it up!  It disappears fast.  (It’s delicious on a bagel too.):) 

You could prepare a plate of these and place sliced strawberry or raspberry on top.  Beautiful, Quick, and Delicious!

Great New Quick and Easy Appetizer

THE SECRET INGREDIENT

Do you need to make an appetizer anytime soon and want something  that is quick and easy???  Here is something new to try.  When I was out and about today, one of the stores I was in was offering samples.   Of course I had to see what they were offering. Oh my goodness, it tasted delicious!  The demonstrator turned out to be the sweet daughter of someone I used to work with and she told me how she made it.   The secret ingredient is Boar’s Head Brown Sugar and Spice Ham Glaze!!  (It’s a cooking sauce too….says so right on the jar.) :)

I love recipes like this one where it’s quick and easy, is unbelievably delicious, and looks pretty!

CREAM CHEESE LOG WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE AND CRANBERRIES 

INGREDIENTS:

1 8oz. block of cream cheese,

1 small can of pineapple tid-bits

1 jar of Boar’s Head Brown Sugar  and Spice Ham Glaze – Cooking Sauce  (sold in the Deli section of a supermarket that sells Boar’s Head Products.) 

Dried Cranberries

Pecans, chopped (optional) (toasted for extra flavor)

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the drained pineapple bits.  ( If the pineapple bits are too big, use your knife to cut them into smaller pieces.    Form the cheese and pineapple mixture into the shape of a log and place on your serving plate.  Spoon some of the Brown Sugar and Spice Glaze over the top of the log.  Sprinkle Cranberries over the top.  If desired, sprinkle on some chopped pecans.  Serve with crackers, bagel chips, or sliced French bread.

Now tell me that doesn’t sound delicious!  I can’t wait to make this.
