Merry Christmas Eve Eve! :)
I have been busy in the kitchen tonight preparing for Christmas Eve fun. One dip I wanted to try is a tweaked version of something I saw at the store. Bloody Mary Shrimp Dip.
I used one block of soft cream cheese and a half cup of mayo. I combined those until smooth with a spoon. I then added a 4 oz jar of my original recipe Bloody Mary Jelly. Again, combine until smooth. Add one 7oz can of shrimp, that has been drained, rinsed, drained and then chopped. I used my Pampered Chef Hand Chopper. Gently fold the shrimp into the dip. Chill overnight or 24 hours.
I also have Sausage Balls prepped and ready for the oven. A nice pork roast with kraut and hot dogs in the crockpot on low. I have hamburger thawing to make a huge dish of Taco Bake, it doesn't last long around here! And finally I will make another new recipe tweaked with Joyful Jars.
I am using a package of little smokies and a roll of crescents. I will baste some of the smokies with Hot Berry Mango-ilow and then wrap in a small version of a regular crescent. The others I will bake as is and use Beer Bomb Butter as a dipping sauce for the smokie rolls.
I hope you all enjoy your Christmas with family and friends and pleasant memories of Christmas's past. It is a bittersweet time when loved ones are gone and we grow older but remember with a smile and love in your heart.
Merry Christmas to you all!
