Easy Cheesy Guacamole Egg Rolls Baked or Fried

No chips required with this guacamole. This is easy delicious finger food, that only takes minutes to prepare. This recipe is for 8 egg rolls, however it could easily be doubled. 

Anything Goes Linky#137 DIY Home Features And My Cheesy Football Bread Recipe

It's been a while since I shared a new recipe of mine. I cook all the time, and actually have a drawer full of good original recipes, that I always plan on sharing with you all, but alas time seems to get the best of me. I decided it might be best to share these recipes in our weekly parties, you're here, I'm here, why not have something to drool on. So This week I am sharing my Easy Cheesy Football Party Bread. I am calling it Football bread, because it's the shape of a football, and it will certainly feed a hungry crowd. So easy to make too, with no clean up, no mixing bowls needed, and it's baked in foil. 

These ingredients are really only suggestions, you could use any type of firm bread, cheese, dip, and flavored cheese spread that you like. The only thing that's not negotiable is the bacon, just kidding you could use any fully cooked bacon or none at all. 

Ingredients:

1 pre-sliced loaf of sourdough cracked wheat bread

1 package of Shallot and Chive Gourmet Spreadable Cheese (A Savory Cream Cheese Spread Will Work Too)

Sliced Cheese Approximately 14 oz. (I used Gouda and Havarti)

1 Medium Size Container Of Spinach Dip (Since making this, I found Walmart has a great spinach dip)

1/3 Cup of Shredded Parmesan 

1 Package Of Fully Cooked Bacon 

Cracked Black Pepper

Optional: Top with fresh chopped chives before serving

It should look something like this prior to baking.

Directions:

Place your loaf on two pieces of foil, so you will be able to wrap it up easily without having to transfer it. Spread a little bit of shallot and chive cheese on each slice of bread, just on one side. Next spread some spinach dip on each slice. Then put some sliced cheese in between each slice. Finally place some cold fully cooked bacon in between each slice, towards the top, so it will have a chance to get crispy. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan and black pepper. Wrap up tight with foil, and bake in a 350 F preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes sealed, and then another 15-20 minutes with the foil opened and pulled back. This will let your bread and bacon get crispy. 

Savory cheesy goodness. It's like a grilled cheese sandwich, with chives, spinach and bacon, except the cheese ends up on both sides of the bread, yum. So healthy too with the cracked wheat bread and spinach, joking I realize this is not exactly dietetic, however it's not supposed to be, it's party food. Speaking of parties, lets get onto our features. 

First up, a Master Bedroom reveal. I love the grey, so relaxing. My master bedroom is currently turquoise and yellow. The yellow was a mistake. I would love for the the paint fairy to visit me. This  Master Bedroom Tour shared by A Little Of This, A Little Of That, is great inspiration. 

Next it's a double feature for View From The Fridge. I couldn't decide which project I loved more, their Anthropology Inspired XoXo Pillows or the DIY Built In Spice Rack.

1/3 Cup Shredded Carrots

2 Handfuls of Fresh Baby Spinach

 Lite Mayo

Prepared Yellow Mustard

Bacon Wrapped Sweet Peppers Stuffed With Cheese

With holiday parties in our mist, I thought I would share a terrific bacon appetizer I recently made. Lots of people make bacon wrapped hot peppers, however these sweet peppers won't leave your guests mouth on fire. They are filled with a sweet and spicy cheese filling, a combination of mozzarella, cream cheese, crushed pineapple, and a little spicy red Banana Pepper. 

Bacon Wrapped Sweet Peppers Stuffed with Cheese

Makes Approximately 78 Count

Ingredients:

2 pound bag of Sweet Mini Peppers (Yellow, Orange, and Red)

2 Packages (12 ounces each) Hickory Smoked Bacon, sliced in half

8 ounces Whipped Cream Cheese Spread

1/2 cup of Crushed Pineapple, drained

2 Cups of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

2 Red Hot Banana Peppers (wear gloves to remove seeds and chop finely)

Directions:

Wash, remove stem, and slice in half your sweet peppers. Remove the membrane along with the seeds inside of the sweet peppers. Mix your cream cheese, mozzarella, pineapple, and hot banana pepper together. Salt and pepper cheese filling to taste. Fill each pepper half with some of the cheese filling, then wrap with a half a slice of bacon. Secure bacon to pepper with a wooden tooth pick. Once all of your peppers are filled and wrapped, lay them out on two large foil lined cookie sheets. Bake in a 350 F degree preheated oven until bacon is done, and cheese  is melted, around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on how thick your bacon  is. To get bacon extra crispy, place under broiler for the last few minutes of baking. Best served at room temperature. Store leftovers covered in fridge. 

I hope you will give this easy appetizer a try at your next holiday gathering or game day.

Mini Santa Fe Gorditas

   I made these for lunch a while back but they would be a great appetizer too.  They were a huge hit and are super easy to make.  Follow baking directions for the biscuits but slice them in half first so that you have 16 thin circular biscuits.  Sprinkle them with your onion powder and cheese before baking.  I baked on a parchment lined cookie sheet for easy clean up.  When they are done fill with your hot fajita seasoned beef, pico de gallo,  chipotle mayo by Kraft (so good and reduced fat too), and fresh lime on the side.  You can use any variety of cooked fajita beef that you like or make your own.  I kept it easy and  found mine at Walmart.  The beef was super tender and flavorful.  Easy too since all the work is done for you, all you have to do is reheat in the microwave per package directions.  So easy and so good, soooo my style of cooking, enjoy!

All Ingredients:
1 can(s) Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Buttermilk Refrigerated Biscuits 16.3 oz (8ct)
1/2 tablespoon(s) McCormick Onion Powder
1 1/2 cup(s) Finely Shredded Cheese, I used Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese
16 oz(s) Fully Cooked Sliced Fajita Seasoned Beef (I used a store bought, fully cooked, flame broiled, seasoned, & sliced beef)
1 cup(s) Fresh Pico De Gallo or Fresh Salsa
1 cup(s) Chipotle Flavored Mayonnaise, I used a reduced fat brand
