First of all...

I have absolutely NO idea why this all looks just like VALENTINE'S DAY..

Well, RED and WHITE  HEART SHAPED DISH

PINK FLOWERS..
.guess those are WHY it looks like Valentine treats,
here in the middle of AUGUST.
good grief         ♥

THESE are store-bought (gasp)

CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

and they are worth about a million bucks each.

THEY ARE GOOD.

Add a Sweet and Sour dipping sauce and you are ON THE MOON.

I am pretty sure I can eat a whole, entire package of them

BY.  MY.  SELF.

THIS savory spread is new for me.

I combined INA GARTEN'S recipe (what NERVE I have to mess with HER recipes)

with things I had on hand.

I am a firm believer in not having to "run to the store" for an ingredient

if I have something  that just might work as well..
ok....or nearly as well.....

I just mixed MASCAPONE CHEESE (I'm not crazy about this cheese)

with Cream Cheese,(it really called for Sour Cream..gotta try using that, too)

add 4 or 5 slices of fried BACON, broken into small pieces,

salt and pepper to taste..

the recipe calls for chopped fresh parsley

but, I was completely out.

fantastic on tasty crackers...

OR

 DELICIOUS ...

absolutely yummy on little 

FRENCH BREAD ROUNDS.

OK...I heard someone giggle out there..

you think my using CHOPPED CELERY LEAVES is pretty funny when it's SUPPOSED to be

CHOPPED FRESH PARSLEY...♥    

 but... look what a pretty picture it made. :)

AND, we do love
Cheese Quesadillas
and 
Salsa.

I just add a little butter to both sides of the flour tortilla and fill with our favorite cheese..
You can sure grill them outside on the grill..or in a skillet..
preferably CAST IRON  ♥


I have a wonderful recipe for homemade salsa....
but THIS 
KYLITO'S SALSA
from our market
is  really REALLY
good.
It's the best ♥ store-bought
salsa I've ever tasted.

I know salsa is one of the things that is
"Goodness is
in the mouth of the taster" so .....
just sayin' ♣

 

Good, juicy and sweet fresh FRUIT has always been a favorite snack.

Oh... ♫♪

and notice the cute CUP my fruit is in...

Isn't this one of the ka-utest measuring cup sets you've seen lately ? ♥

I sure do like them.....A LOT !
I like the fact that it has ML listed on ea one and also OUNCES.

 I have SOMETHING ELSE so cute, I am about to have a run-away...
and it's 

ON THE WAY. :o)

I saw these adorable measuring cups over at SULLIVAN AND MURPHY. ♥
When I told SUE how much I liked them, 
she put me in touch with 
ANGELA that has a charming ETSY shop.
Angela had them on their way to me within a day.
THANKS, SUE AND ANGELA  ♥

I'd love to know what YOUR favorite snacks are....
