Preheat Oven to 350.  Spray Mini muffin tins with cooking spray, set aside.  In a medium bowl, mix together, potatoes, Cherchies Lem 'n Dill Butter, egg, and salami.

Scoop spoonfuls of potato mixture into mini muffin tins.

Sprinkle cheese on top (you had me at cheese!) and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool for 5 minutes.

Add scallions to make it pretty...and serve.

Spray grill lightly with cooking spray.  Turn on grill to high, then down to low when ready to cook. Meanwhile, skewer shrimp onto wooden skewers.  (I find it is easier to grill shrimp this way).  Brush honey-lime mixture onto shrimp.  Put shrimp onto grill, and cook for only a few minutes on each side, until shrimp turn pink (If using fresh shrimp).  For frozen cooked shrimp, cook for a few minutes on each side. Serve on a pretty platter with lettuce, and you have an easy appetizer, lunch, or dinner.

Oh Sooo Simple Salsa Recipe

Company coming and no salsa?  No problem…Cherchies Salsa seasoning is here to save the day!   I keep this spice and canned diced tomatoes on hand for those impromptu gatherings.  Fresh tomatoes in season are always best, but here in Pennsylvania in the winter, our options are limited.

Ingredients

• 1 (or 2) cans diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 Tbsp.  Cherchies Salsa Seasoning (more to taste)
• 1 small red onion, chopped (optional)
• 1  green pepper, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Take a can of diced tomatoes (or two depending on your company), and drain the tomatoes.  (Option to add chopped onions and pepper at this point, but not necessary).

Sprinkle some Cherchies Salsa Seasoning…sprinkle some more, and stir.  The more you sprinkle, the spicier it will be.  

You might just have to taste your creation…not that that would be a bad thing.  Be careful, this is for company remember?  This seasoning is soooo yummy.

Add your favorite chips, and voila, simple salsa!  Now I’m hungry!!  Enjoy!
