This is Memorial Day weekend and lets pray for all our military troops around the world.  
I am going to chill this weekend and watch the Indy 500 and cook.
Today I will fix some snacking foods for us to nibble on while chillin'.
Here is one of the snacks I will make:

Roll Ups:

I jar of dried beef
I package of cream cheese
Hot sauce

Just spread the cream cheese on the dried beef and add a few dashes of hot sauce then roll and secure with a toothpick...  Good little snack!

You can also do the same as above but add a whole dill pickle in the middle before rolling.
Then you can slice into sections... Also a good little snack!

Have a safe and happy weekend....

Enjoy!

Today is Saturday, May 18th and Preakness day.  Just relaxing today and enjoying this beautiful weather we are having.
My thoughts and prayers are with my neighbor Marge as her mother passed away last night.  Liz was 95 years old and a really nice lady.  She will be missed.
My Granddaughter is graduating today from college and I am sad that my family can't take part in such a huge occasion in her life.
I saw a recipe on TV this week and decided that it was a great snack for the weekend.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 bag Tater Tots (thawed to room temperature)
1 8-ounce package Sharp Cheddar Cheese (cut in 1/4-inch squares)
Hot Sauce
1 16-ounce package Bacon (strips cut in half)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Heat oven to 375 and line a cookie sheet with foil.

Stuff a piece of cheese into the tater tot (carefully). You can use any cheese of your choice.  Add some hot sauce to taste on the tot.  Wrap a half piece of bacon around the tater tot, secure with toothpick and then roll in brown sugar.

Bake for 15 or 20 minutes, turning the tots at least once to insure the bacon cooks evenly.

Enjoy!!!
