Creamy Crab Dip

This crab dip is so yummy! Even if you don't like crab, you should try this recipe! You really can't taste the crab. It's very tasty! I made it once and sent some home with my parents. My brother and his wife tasted it and called right away asking for the recipe! **I don't like real crab (too chewy)-- so I use imitation.**

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2-1 tsp minced garlic
2 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3-6 drops hot pepper sauce (go with more if you like heat)
12 ounces premium crabmeat, drained
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Paprika
Assorted crackers


Directions:
In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the first nine ingredients. Cook and stir until cream cheese is melted and mixture is heated through. Stir in crab and 2 tablespoons parsley; heat through.
Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with almonds, paprika and remaining parsley. Serve warm with crackers. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 3-1/4 cups.

Yummy Tortellini Salad

I made this recipe up- then I shared some with my mom and my sister and they both asked for the recipe- so here it is! Just add whatever meats/veggies you want- this is what I had on hand! But it is DE-LISH!!

1 pkg tortellini (I used 4 cheese tri-colored)
1 can black olives
4 oz cheese chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/3 c chopped artichoke hearts
1/2 stick summer sausage chopped
1 handful of bacon pieces

Mix together 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 1/2 tbsp white vinegar and 1/2 tsp Salad Supreme seasoning. Pour over top. Serve! YUMMMMMM!!

Creamy Chicken

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
1 Italian seasoning packet
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
4 tbsp butter/margarine

Mix all ingredients except for the chicken. Put chicken in the crock pot. Pour soup mixture on top. Cook on high for 3-4 hours- or low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken and let it set in the sauce for 10 minutes. Serve. I served mine with noodles. I'm sure rice or potatoes would be fine with it, too. My kids and husband all loved it :)
