Confessions of a Holiday Junkfood Junkie

Cream cheese and salmon spread...goes especially well with Triscuit!

My wife also makes a dynamite fruit cake...mostly nuts and fruit with just enough batter to hold it all together. This time of year she also makes candy...turtles; peanut butter balls; a "brittle" made with chocolate, caramel, and saltine crackers(!); and a homemade version of Mounds candy with pecan instead of almonds...this is a tough time of year for a diabetic!
 
Really appreciate you guys taking the time to share some of this stuff. I'm gonna try Scott's meatballs today, with one variation. I have the smoker going so I think I'll try some of the batch in there for a little added smoke flavor. It's all or nothing for me now...packed on 14 lbs since the beginning of the month.

Let me know how this comes out, as I've been wanting to try it.


One of my Philly Cream Cheese faves, is to soften a block then press it out to an even thickness on a dinner plate. Top with chopped green onions, shredded co-jack cheese. Cover with a generous layer of cocktail sauce and a couple cans of tiny cocktail shrimp or thawed and drained small cooked frozen shrimp. Serve with Ritz crackers.
 
i like pecan pie for breakfast. Just about cleared out the Christmas carbs from the house cept for some crappy cookies. Will probably eat them today . . .
 
Cream cheese and salsa makes a pretty good dip too.

KC....that cream cheese/shrimp thing sounds awesome!

Frognot.....I've got a whole homemade pecan pie in the fridge right now. Was going to put a serious hurting on it this weekend with late night movies, a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream and a glass of milk.

This is some good stuff! Went together in on time. The better half came home for lunch and took most of them back to work with her. Thinking about trying another batch this afternoon and adding some sauce towards the end while they are still in the smoker.

Thanks again Scott!
