MANGO SALSA

12 roma tomatoes, seeded, diced
1 red onion, diced
5 jalapenos, diced(add 1/4 habenero pepper for extreme heat)
2 mangos, diced
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp tobasco or other pepper sauce

MIx all of the ingredients together. Refridgerate for 1 hour and then serve. Keep in mind that the salt will draw out the juices from the ingredients and so the mixture may have to be drained from time to time. Save the juice for Bloody Mary's or Caesar.

SALSA GUACAMOLE

Guests will rave about this combination of fire roasted salsa and guacamole -- you'll make it again and again!

Salsa:

1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen? organic fire roasted or plain diced tomatoes, well drained
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small fresh jalape?o chile, seeded, finely chopped

Guacamole:

3 ripe large avocados (about 1 1/2 lb) pitted, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

In medium bowl, stir together salsa ingredients.
In another medium bowl, place avocados; coarsely mash. Stir in remaining guacamole ingredients. Spoon guacamole into shallow serving bowl; top with salsa.

Serve with tortilla chips as desired.

Makes 12 servings (1/4 cup each).

Tip: Look for avocados that are firm, but yield to gentle pressure. If they are not quite ripe, place avocados in a paper bag, and let ripen at room temperature.

I make this kickin' corn dip that is served cold with Corn Chips. Its so easy and so good.

2 Cans niblet corn
2 tbsp Mayo
1 package of shreaded cheese ( I like the 4 cheese mexican)
1 can rotel tomatos.

Make sure you drain the corn and the tomatos well.
Mix it up and serve.
Your friends will LOVE it!! I promise and they will ask you for the recipe. Have fun!! I love tailgating..

Stuffed mushrooms

6 oz mushrooms
1 egg
olive oil
1cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
salt

take them stems off(reserve you need the stems), in a bowl take the tops and coat with olive oil salt and pepper

OK in a separate bowl chop those stems finely add the egg and the bread crumbs, stir up tiny pinch of salt too.

take the tops, line them up in a baking dish take a teaspoon and spoon the bread crumb mixture into each and every one.
bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes Got Grill 5 to 10 minutes

GRILLED POTATOES

6 medium new potatoes
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/3 tsp garlic powder)
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
1 tsp onion soup mix
1/4 tsp rubbed sage (optional)
pinch cayenne pepper
sea salt (or coarse kosker salt)
fresh parsley, minced

Combine ingredients in a medium bowl (except potatoes and sea salt). A blender may be used.
Meanwhile, light the grill on high setting. Spray or wipe grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Scrub potatoes, remove eyes, leaving skin on. Slice potatoes 3/8 of an inch thick (coin shaped disks).

Dip sliced potatoes into oil and turn to coat well. Place on hot grill, then a few minutes later, turn diagonally to get diamond shaped grill marks. Drizzle small amounts of the oil mixture on top as they cook. Turn potatoes over and repeat on the other side.

Close cover an roast for about 10 minutes or until potatoes have prominent grill marks and are lightly browned on edges.

Slide potatoes onto a microwave safe dish and cook on high power for 2 additional minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and sea salt, to taste. Serve.

Note: If there is any remaining oil mixture, use it to sauté greens or green beans, or add balsamic vinegar and use it as a marinade for meat.

My Favorite recipe for Appetizer is Veggie Pizza but everyone Does that.. Try These Yummy Meatballs instead ( they Taste
like THE BEST Sloppy Joe You've EVER had !)
In a crock pot put:
2-3 lb.s frozen meatballs
1 Jar of heinz Chilie sauce
1 jar of Appricot jam
Slow cook for at least 3 Hrs or more on HI
( Add small amount of water if needed )

TAILGATE SANDWICHES

12 fresh sandwich rolls

Mix together: Fresh garlic (to taste) 1 tbsp. poppy seeds 1 tbsp. minced onions
24 slices ham or turkey (shaved)

Slice rolls and brush inside of both sides with melted butter mixture. Place 2 slices of meat on bottom half. Top with 1 cheese slice.

Replace top of roll and wrap each sandwich individually in tin foil. Place all sandwiches on a cookie sheet and heat for 30 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven. Immediately transfer into a cooler. The sandwiches will remain hot until your tailgate party. Everyone loves them!

TAILGATE CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

3 lbs. chicken wings
1/3 c. soy sauce
3 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
3 tbsp. brown sugar

Disjoint chicken wings, discard tip ends. Stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger and garlic. For marinade, put wings in heavy plastic bag and pour on marinade. Close bag and place in bowl in case bag leaks. Marinate at least 2 hours or overnight. To cook, place in 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serves 10 to 12.

Rueben dip - The great this about this recipe is that it's good piping hot r room temp. If you want to keep it warm over a grill add a little extra sourkraut on the bottom over a really low heat. Basically layer 3/4 of the bag to the bottom of the baking dish. Then a layer of sliced swiss cheese. Then lay on 8 oz. thin sliced corned beef that you have diced. Then cover with a single layer of sliced swiss cheese. Then mix 1/2 cups each of 1000 Island and mayo with the rest of the sourkraut and spread this on top. Finally a layer double layer of swiss cheese. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes in a 350 oven. Serve with rye or pumperknickle crackers, or even cocktail bread with your going to serve a small spoon to serve it off of.

Make the spinach dip on the back of the Knoor's veggie soup mix box. Everyone loves it. Serve with crusty white bread.

Another really easy dip to make sounds nasty, but believe me it's so good. Spread 2 boxes of softened cream cheese in the bottom of a baking dish. Then pour on 1 good quality jar of salsa. Bake at 350 until its just hot maybe 8 - 10 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips.

A really easy appetizer is getting some chorizo. Simply slice on the bias and either grill or broil. Then serve with coctail toothpicks and spicy mustard.

This is always a hit when I serve it. It's a little bit spicy, but so worth it. The night before mix up 1 can of coconut milk, 2 tbsp. thai red curry paste, about 1/4 c. each diced onion and fresh cilantro, the juice of one lime, and 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. This marinade can be made the night before. About 1/2 hour before you are going to cook the shrimp, marinate it in the mixture. Then just place shelled, deveined shrimp, tails on a grill or on a cookie sheet under the broiler. They only need about 2 minutes per side.
