Holiday favorites with no time

Okay so Both of these recipes I took this last weekend for Thanksgiving and they were a hit...So time to share the Secret Recipes....


Shrimp Spread...

Ingredients:
1/2 lb shrimp meat or the little tiny shrimp you would use for salads.
1 16oz Jar of Cocktail sauce.
2 Bricks of Cream Cheese.

on a platter or plate set out your softened Cream Cheese. I place them next to each other. In a bowl mix your Sauce and Shrimp together. This mix should chill for about 1 hour minimum. Pour over the Cream Cheese. Serve with Crackers and provide a knife. This spread is a huge hit and everyone will love it including you...


Jello Cocktail

Ingredients:

2 small containers of Cottage Cheese
1 container of Cool Whip
1 Standard size flavored Jello
1 jar Fruit Cocktail. I buy to match the flavor of Jello.

In a bowl Poor in the Cottage Cheese then the dry Jello. Add the Fruit Cocktail...Be sure to drain it. Then fold in your Whipped Cream. For the best salad let it set up in the Fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. however you can just make it and eat...Be sure you let the Whipped Cream soften. You don't want Frozen Chunks in it.

I use the following combos

Strawberry, Chery or Raspberry Jello + traditional Fruit cocktail
Lime Jello + Pineapple or Tropical Fruit Salad
Orange Jello + Mandarin Oranges or Tropical Fruit salad

Use some imagination. You can use Fresh Fruit too.
