Bunco Snacks!

Hello Glitterinas!

For years and years I have been lucky enough 

to play bunco with the loveliest of friends!

We rotate around to different homes each month 

and share the task of bringing yummy things to eat.

This month we are headed to Julie's 

beautiful home.....and I am bring an appetizer.

My grand~darling Emery and I took to the kitchen 

to make 

Cream Cheese and Sausage Bites.

Join us as we make this recipe for bunco.

Place a brick of cream cheese in a bowl to come to

room temperature.

Brown a chub of sausage in a skillet.....

I used Jimmy Dean regular sausage.

Actually, I should say Emery browned 

the sausage!

Drain the sausage....

.....when the cream cheese is softened,

add the sausage to it.

Stir.....stir....

Take two rolls of cresent rolls and place them 

into muffin pans.

Fold the points in and then press the 

dough into a circle.

Place each roll into a muffin section 

that's been sprayed with baking spray....

Emery uses Pam.

In the past, I have taken each cresent roll

and sliced them into two, long triangles.

I've placed a teaspoon of filling on each 

and rolled it up.....and baked them.

Emery likes things baked in muffin cups

so.....

.....these appetizers were baked into 

cups!

Now, where were we?!

Oh yes....

Finish placing each roll into the 

muffin cups.

Then scoop some filling into each cup.

A pretty smile from the cook!

When each cup is filled,

it's time for these cuties to go into 

the oven at 355 degrees for 17 minutes.

Emery had some filling left, so she decided to eat 

some of it on crackers.

It made a yummy lunch!

The rest was placed into a plastic 

container and put in the refrigerator.

This mixture makes a delicious filling for 

an omelet.  It's also yummy to 

mix with scrambled eggs.

When the appetizers were baked, 

Emery put them on a wire rack to cool.

A tiny sprinkle of paprika was added on top of each 

flower.  Guess who decided these looked like flowers?!

You probably guessed right.....the cute cook!

My traveling friend who brings me goodies from all over 

the world, brought me this paprika from Hungary!

Next, the cute cook asked about a platter 

on which to take them to bunco.

I wasn't sure what I would use.

She was helpful in picking out a 

platter and she also wanted to use doilies.

She plated the flowers on the platter and we wrapped 

it all up in plastic wrap.

The appetizers went to bunco and were enjoyed 

during our delicious dinner.

I was very proud of this young cook.

What an easy recipe.....I hope you'll give this 

recipe a try, Glitterinas!

It's easy to make and very easy to enjoy!

Thank you for joining Emery in the 

kitchen.....she's getting better and better 

at baking yummy things to eat!

Until next time,

Tammy
