I just love these quick yummy appetizers. 1 jar of dill pickles 1 8oz block of cream cheese (room temp) 1 package of Black Forest Ham ( I use Great Value) Spread cream cheese over pieces of Ham.  Roll a piece of ham over a pickle spear and then slice.  Super super easy Right?? Another version is to make this into a dip.  Cut pickles into bite sized pieces, cut ham into chunks.  Whip the cream cheese until it is creamy and add the pickles and ham.  Serve with veggies or crackers.  Super easy and super yummy either recipe you prefer.

When my parents would have a party at our house when I was growing up my mom would make these super yummy appetizers.  2 Cans of whole water chestnuts, drained 15 slices of bacon 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 tsp Dijon mustard a sprinkle of garlic powder 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.  Set aside.  Drain the cans of Water chestnuts.  Cut slices of bacon in half.  Wrap a slice of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a wooden toothpick. 2.  In a small sauce pan, combine brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard and garlic.  Bring to a boil over medium heat;  reduce heat to medium low and cook for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat.  3.  Carefully dip each wrapped water chestnut into sauce;  gently tap against edge of saucepan, to remove excess sauce and place on pan.  Bake 18-...
