Potato Skin Appetizers
6 baking potatoes
Vegetable cooking spray
11/2 cups mixed cheese (suggestion: sharp cheddar, Monterey
Jack, and mozzarella)
6 to 8 strips bacon, fried and crumbled
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
Optional toppings and dips: sour cream, jalapeno peppers, barbecue sauce,
ranch style dip, or hot honey mustard sauce.
Wash potatoes and place directly on oven rack in a preheated 350 degree
oven. Bake for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and cool 30 minutes.
Slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out middle. Leave about 1/4 inch
around edge and on bottom to hold skin together.
Lightly spray each skin, inside and out with vegetable cooking spray and
place on a baking sheet skin side down.
Preheat broiler to high and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until potato pulp
starts to brown. Remove from oven and fill each potato with cheese. Bake at
375 degrees for 10 minutes. Top with fried bacon and chives and serve
immediately with optional toppings and dips.
Makes 12 potato skin appetizers.

foodfan (11:02:14 am) :
Chicken Tortilla Spirals
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
3 scallions, chopped finely
1 can green chiles (4 oz), chopped and drained
8 sundried tomatoes, thinly slivered
6 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 chicken breast halves, cooked and diced
3 TB chopped fresh cilantro
2 teas chili powder
cayenne pepper to taste
8 to 10 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
1. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in all remaining ingredients,
except tortillas.
(If you prefer a more smooth filling, you can do the above step in a food
processor, but add the chicken last so it isn't too finely diced.)
2. Spread 1 tortilla with a generous 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Top with
a second tortilla and spread 2 more tablespoons of the mixtures. Roll up the
two tortillas tightly in jelly roll fashion. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat the
process with the remaining tortillas and mixture.
3. Refrigerate at least two hours and up to one week.
(I often double this recipe for big parties and make them the week before.)
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5. Cut each tortilla roll into 1/2 inch slices and place cut sides up on a
nonstick cookie sheet (don't put them on foil - they stick! Believe me, I
know...) Brush the top of each with a little oil from the sundried tomatoes
(or olive oil). Bake in the oven until lightly browned, about 12 to 15
minutes.

1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped
1 (3 3/8-ounce) package ROYAL Instant Vanilla
Pudding & Pie Filling
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
4 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup of shredded coconut, optional
1 drop green food coloring, optional
In small bowl, prepare chocolate pudding according to package directions

food coloring; arrange on serving plate. Unmold football onto serving plate;
remove plastic wrap.
Working quickly, spread chocolate over football. Garnish with remaining
whipped cream.
Serve immediately or freeze until serving time. Let stand at room
temperature 20 minutes

foodfan (11:16:09 am) :
BOLOGNA FOOTBALL
Don't dismiss this recipe. It sounds wild, but it's great, especially for a
SUPER BOWL party, as it ends up looking like a big football & tastes good.
Buy a 5 to 6 pound bologna (don't wince...bologna? Just trust me!), uncut.
Remove the casing & score the bologna lengthwise about four times, lightly.
Place in a roasting pan and bake 4 hours at 250 degrees.
In the meantime make a sauce;
combine
1 small jar of currant jelly
1 cup of chili sauce
heavy dash Tabasco
about 4 tablespoons prepared mustard
Heat over low heat, whisking until the jelly dissolves. To serve, place
bologna on a large platter, surround with parsley, and cocktail bread. Serve
sauce on the side.
One thing I've learned when serving this, it looks so different that the
guests might not cut into it & make their own mini-sandwiches, so someone
may have to guide them.
This comes from a non-lovin' bologna family, but it's great, easy, & serves
a lot of people!
If any is left-over, this makes make great sandwiches: either slice & fry &
place on bread with your favorite dressing, or chop with pickles and mix
with mayo!

foodfan (11:35:09 am) :
Pepper-and-Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms
To minimize the mess of making fine dry bread crumbs, place the dried bread
in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
24 large fresh mushrooms, 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped red sweet pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped green and/or yellow sweet pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup finely shredded smoked Edam or smoked Gouda cheese (2 ounces)
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
Wash and drain mushrooms. Remove stems. Chop enough stems to make 1 cup; set
aside. Lightly brush rounded side of
mushroom caps with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
Place mushrooms, cavity side up, on a shallow baking pan; set aside.
In a skillet cook chopped stems, onion, red sweet pepper, green and/or
yellow sweet pepper, and garlic in the remaining olive oil over medium high
heat for 3 to 4 minutes or till tender, stirring frequently. Carefully add
white wine, salt, and pepper. Cook and
stir about 1 minute more or till all but about 1 tablespoon of the liquid
has evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and bread crumbs. Spoon
cheese mixture into mushroom caps. Cover
and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
Bake, uncovered, in a 400 F. oven about 15 minutes or till mushrooms are
tender and filling is hot. Makes 24.
Make-Ahead Tip: Up to 1 day ahead, stuff mushrooms, cover, and chill. To
serve, bake as directed.

Sweet Corn Tomalito from Chevy's Restaurant
5 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 cup masa (corn flour)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 water
2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen, thawed; divided use
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon milk
In a small mixing bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar using an
electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. In a blender
container, blend half the corn kernels with the water until smooth.
Combine this mixture with the margarine mixture, stirring well. Add the
remaining corn kernels, corn meal, baking powder, salt and milk and mix
well. Pour the corn mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan. Tightly cover
with plastic wrap and steam by setting atop a medium saucepan of water on
top of the stove.
Bring water to a boil and steam corn mixture for 50 minutes to one hour
(check to see whether you might need to add more water), until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean. Tomalito should have a smooth,
moist texture.
Note: The pan must be tightly wrapped at all times.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove -- minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaf -- minced

Peggy, WA (7:38:37 pm) :
I think the perfect food for a Super Bowl party would be *Stone Soup*
The Stone Soup Story
Once upon a time, somewhere in Eastern Europe, there was a great famine.
People jealously hoarded whatever food they could find, hiding it even from
their friends and neighbors.
One day a peddler drove his wagon into a village, sold a few of his wares,
and began asking questions as if he planned to stay for the night.
"There's not a bite to eat in the whole province," he was told. "Better keep
moving on."
"Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making
some stone soup to share with all of you."
He pulled an iron cauldron from his wagon, filled it with water, and built a
fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone
from a velvet bag and dropped it into the water.
By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come to the
square or watched from their windows. As the peddler sniffed the "broth" and
licked his lips in anticipation, hunger began to overcome their skepticism.
"Ahh," the peddler said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone
soup. Of course, stone soup with CABBAGE -- that's hard to beat."
Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a cabbage he'd retrieved from
its hiding place, and added it to the pot.
"Capital!" cried the peddler. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage
and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was
fit for a king."
The village butcher managed to find some salt beef...and so it went, through
potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a
delicious meal for all.
The villagers offered the peddler a great deal of money for the magic stone,
but he refused to sell and traveled on the next day.
And from that time on, long after the famine had ended, they reminisced
about the finest soup they'd ever had.
At a stone soup party each guest/couple would bring one or two ingredients
that go into soup. The host/hostess can be
responsible for the stock, whether it is vegetable or meat.
We have done this with absolutely no instructions to anyone as to what to
bring and rarely do we get duplicate ingredients. And, if we do, that is
part of the fun. As each guest/couple arrives they put their ingredients
into the pot. And, you let it cook until you are ready to eat.
Typical ingredients are mushrooms, onions, potatoes, beans, corn, squash,
tomatoes, garlic, soup pasta, cabbage,
celery, bok choy, leeks, turnips, ... ANYTHING.

2 1/2 Quarts water
3 smoked ham hocks
1 Cup chicken stock

includes this step: Remove the bay leaf and ham hocks, and puree beans in a
food mill or sieve.
