		I named this after my daughter, who loves tailgate parties and was born in Blytheville, Arkansas. . .my hometown. Spinach Sarah is the perfect dip for a cocktail party or game day. 4 packages (10oz. each) frozen chopped spinach 1 cup spinach liquid 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 10 tablespoons butter 2 cans Rotel tomatoes without the juice 5 tablespoons flour 1 cup finely chopped onion 1 cup evaporated milk 1 teaspoon black pepper 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain and reserve liquid. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring until blended and smooth; do not brown. Add reserved spinach liquid, stirring constantly. Cook until smooth and thickened. Add remaining ingredients. Stir until cheese melts. Serve immediately. Serves 12. ~I serve Spinach Sarah with Frito Lay's Scoops!


		These little morsels are fun to make and yummy to eat. They can be stored in the refrigerator up to a week. I have even popped them in the oven to accompany my favorite bowl of Campbell's tomato soup for lunch. 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temp 4 ounces mild goat cheese 1 clove garlic, minced 1 4oz can green chiles 4 sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained with oil reserved, thinly sliced 1/3 cup pitted black olives, minced 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons chili powder Dash of cayenne pepper Sprinkle of grated salt 12 large flour tortillas Whip the cream cheese and goat cheese together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in all the remaining ingredients, except the tortillas and the oil from the sun dried tomatoes. Spread 1 tortilla with a large dollop (about 2 tablespoons) of the cheese mixture. Top with a second tortilla and spread in the same fashion with the cheese mixture. Roll up the 2 tortillas tightly like a jelly roll and wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture. Regrigerate at least 2 hours. Cut each tortilla roll into 1/2 inch slices and place on your favorite platter. Makes 6 dozen ~ I have served these for years and they are a crowd pleaser with men and women!


		1 (32 ounce) bottle of Mott's CLAMATO Tomato Cocktail Concentrate 1 tablespoon horseradish 1 dash of Tabasco sauce 7 dashes of Worcestershire sauce 2 twists form the salt mill 1 teaspoon of celery salt The juice from a lemon (do not use lemon juice substitute) 8 ounces Grey Goose Vodka Fresh celery stalks with leaves Combine the CLAMATO juice, horseradish, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salts, and lemon juice in a large pitcher and stir well. Fill each glass with ice, Bloody Mary mixture (1/2 way up glass), and 1 ounce of Grey Goose Vodka. Garnish with a celery stalk or a wedge of lemon, if you prefer. Serves 6 I love to moisten the rim of my glass with a lemon wedge and dip the rim in celery salt for a new twist on a classic drink . . . . then fill the glass with the CLAMATO juice and Grey Goose Vodka! Looks festive and tastes great! Plop in a large stuffed green olive to finish!



		24 cherry tomatoes 8 ounces smoked salmon 4 tablespoons heavy cream 2 packages cream cheese, softened 1 lemon, juiced 1 teaspoon dried dill week Salt and pepper Cut a tiny slice off the bottom of each tomato, so it will stand up.

For the Salmon Mousse: Place smoked slamon ina blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Mix in heavy cream, cream cheese, the juice of one lemon, dried dill weed, salt and pepper. Blend.
