Appetizer- No Name
Ok, this is what my kids always ask for. Its not really a recipe, but here goes.
Soften a 4oz pkg of cream cheese. Spread cream cheese on slender-sliced meat (the really thin lunch meat, ALDI has it for abot 30 cents a package, dang I miss ALDI!!!) Place a pickle spear in the middle and roll up. Thats it, thats all there is to it. My kids eat these over anything else I make.
Some mornings it's not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints.
