Cookie Decorating '07

It was postponed but it happened which is all that matters. It was WONDERFUL to see everyone. Thanks to our wonderful host - M, you did a great job. The MA was a perfect place and I am sure the Hummels now have much to talk about (DC - get that book started). Thanks for travelling, good food, fond memories, laughter and conversations, and your time. For those of you that couldn't make it, you were missed. See you at Cookie Decorating '08 (or hopefully sooner!).

Tortilla Pinwheels

I recently took an appetizer to a party that people seemed to enjoy. The best part of this appetizer is that is it incredibly easy. Cut a few things, mix things together, plop it in the frig...and there you go. I have to give credit to a cousin-in-law, P., who does tortilla pinwheels for family Christmas. (I LOVE THEM). This is not his recipe but his pinwheels are what inspired me to find something like it.

8 oz sour cream

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 (4 oz) can diced green chillies, well drained

1 (4 oz) can black olives, well drained (optional)

1 c. grated cheddar cheese

1/2 c. chopped green onion

5 burrito sized tortillas

Mix all of the filling ingredients together thoroughly. Divide the filling and spread evenly over the tortillas; roll up tortillas. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, twisting ends; refrigerate for several hours. Unwrap; cut in slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Can serve with salsa (optional).
