Recipes I Can’t Resist – Easy Bacon and Spinach Mock Quiche Appetizer Recipe

by

These little appetizers are so delicious! I made them for a party and should have made more. Just 5 ingredients that all go together so well. Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday…

2 Eight Ounce Packages Cream Cheese
1/2 LB Bacon
6 oz Frozen Spinach
2 packages Mini Fillo (Phyllo) Shells
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Defrost spinach and squeeze out all the water you can until almost dry. (I put mine in a few paper towels and ring the water out). Set aside.

Cut slices of bacon into small pieces and cook on med low until crispy. Remove to drain on paper towels. Reserve the grease in pan.

Bring Cream Cheese to room temperature and put into mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on high, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about a minute. Add spinach and mix again until blended with cream cheese. Stir in by hand, the bacon and Parmesan cheese. Add about 4 tablespoons of the bacon grease and mix well.

Place mini phyllo shells on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Fill each shell just to the top, about a spoonful each. Sprinkle the tops with more Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the Parmesan on top is turning beige.

Makes 45 appetizers.

Going Green – What Your Coffee Container Can Do For You

by

Imagine a coffee can with many uses. Before you toss it in the garbage, think reusable, thinks going green.
Here are some great uses for that empty coffee can.

Easier way to Crochet or Knit
If you like to crochet or knit, your coffee container can provide a tangle free ad clean yarn to work with. Simply place the yarn ball in a clean can and poke a hole in the plastic lid to pull the yarn through.

Don’t Clog The Drain
Keep leftover grease out of the drain by pouring it into an empty coffee can. Put it in the freezer and once full take to the garbage.

Storage for Dry goods and household items
Beads, buttons to nuts and bolts you collect, can go into the coffee can as well as containers for rice, pasta, and other dry goods. Put a label on the can and store.

Do you compost?
Keep an empty can in your kitchen on the counter of under the sink. Add your scraps and the lid will hold in any odor. Once filled take to your compost pile.

Grow Plants and Flowers
Put a few holes in the bottom of the can and add soil and seeds. Use the plastic lid for drainage on the bottom.

Coin Collector or Piggy Bank

Decorate the can and use it as a coin jar for the family or just for you. Toss in spare change for a family project or a new treat for yourself.

Decorate your cans with drawer liner paper, or a project for you and the kids.
