Ham Roll-ups

These are great little appetizers. That great thing is that really have no carbs in them or at least very little.

One pound of sliced lunch meat ham.

Small dill pickles or large ones quartered lengthwise.

Cream cheese

So how easy this can be?!?

Peel off the ham slices one at a time and dry them with a paper towel.

Spread the ham with softened cream cheese.

Put a slice of the quartered pickle on one end and roll it up.

Insert toothpicks into the rolled ham and slice between them.

Viola! Ham Roll-ups! Enjoy!

These are a great hours d'ouvre to bring to.a party. At least you won't feel guilty about eating these.

1 T finely chopped green onion

3 T crumbled bacon

freshly cracked pepper

Grated Cheddar Cheese

1. Wash your mushrooms and remove the stems. 

2. Chop up a green onion into tiny, tiny pieces. Add 1 T of the green onion to your cream cheese.

 

3. Add your 3 T of bacon. Throw in a tiny bit of freshly cracked pepper. Mix it all around to combine.

 

4. Place your mushrooms on a sprayed cookie sheet. Fill the insides with your cream cheese mixture.

 

5. Bake at 400 for 15 -20 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese the last four minutes of baking. Eat nice and hot from the oven. They cool down very quickly and aren't quite as tasty eaten cold.
