Shrimp Tarts

These were not as much of a hit at the shower as the “Mini Ham Puffs” and the “Bacon Cheddar Pinwheels”.  Courtney said they tasted funny, Bob said they tasted ok but not like shrimp and I can’t tell you what they tasted like because I don’t like shrimp so didn’t eat any!  Courtney loves … Continue reading

Stuffed Cheesy Bread on Crack

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

Of all the little food items that I made for Camp Wrap Up, I think these were my favorite.  I’d like to make them again but maybe in a regular size muffin and have them for dinner.  They were delicious!  These are from a blog called Lick the Bowl Good. 3/4 cup flour 3/4 teaspoon … Continue reading
