Cheese Ball

1 pound bacon
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
1 cup chopped pecans

In a large skillet, fry the bacon. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Chop or break the cooled bacon into small pieces. (put in baggie and use a rolling pin. Works like a charm!)

In a medium size mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, and green onions. When mixed well, form 2 balls out of the mixture. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours or overnight.

Before serving, roll the cheese balls in chopped pecans.

This recipe is amazing! It is the best cheese ball that I've ever had and it's irresistibly addicting! I halved the recipe and made only one cheese ball. It didn't last long!

Fruit Dip

8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (can use any kind of nut)

Beat together cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer. Stir in walnuts. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator.

I received this recipe from my mother-in-law. It is super delicious!

Salsa a la YUMMY

Sorry everyone....can't get the formatting to be in a recipe format... 1 gallon canned tomatoes, drained (approximately 10, 14 1/2 oz cans); 1 bunch cilantro; 1 TBS salt; 1 TBS Kroger brand California blend garlic salt; 1 medium onion; 3 cans diced green chillies, undrained. ** This makes a TON. I halved the recipe and it still made more than my family can eat. So I would plan to either give some away, or at least half the recipe. ** Chop up tomatoes and green chillies in the blender to your desired consistency. (I used 1/2 fresh tomatoes and 1/2 canned tomatoes, undrained) Stir in chopped cilantro, salt, garlic salt and onion. Refrigerate. ** This salsa is so easy and so yummy. I had it with tortilla chips, but I'm sure it would be great anywhere you typically use salsa. This recipe comes from a lady in my ward.
