Merry Menage #Giveway Hop



Welcome to my contribution to the

with a special thanks to our sponsors...
Day Dreaming
My Secret Romance
&
The Book Tart


I'm going to share a couple of my favorite holiday recipes.  My kids would never let me get away with not including these two in any of our holiday meals :)


 
Cream Cheese Bars

 
 2 (8oz.) boxes Cream Cheese(softened)
3/4 c. sugar
2 cans croissant rolls
1/2 stick butter or margarine
3 to 4 shakes cinnamon-sugar mix

Preheat oven to 350 deg.  Mix sugar and cream cheese, set aside.  Spray bottom of 13 x 9 pan.  Spread 1 can of croissant rolls in bottom of pan.  Make sure all seems are pressed together.  Cover rolls with cream cheese mixture.  Carefully spread 2nd can of croissant rolls over top of cream cheese mix.  (I spread the 2nd can in sections on a cutting board first then place them on top so the cream cheese is all covered)   Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar all over top and dot with butter.  Bake 20-25 min. or until rolls are browning.  Cool completely before cutting and serving.


 
 
Ham Pickle Rollups 
 
 1  1lb. package Ham slices
1-2 jars Pickle spears
1 (8 oz)pkg. Cream Cheese

Drain and pat dry pickle spears. Lay out and pat dry ham slices(I do 2 at a time on my cutting board)
Soften cream cheese in small intervals in microwave for easy spreading.  On 1 slice of ham, generously spread cream cheese, covering whole slice.  Lay down pickle slice and roll up, then slice into pieces.  Chill & Serve
