Antojitos

I love antojitos and order them at whatever restaurant I am at whenever I can. I forgot to take a picture of them before eating them, so there is no picture. I made these to go along with our New Year's day spread of finger foods. They were definitely delicious
 Ingredients
1 1/2 pkg. cream cheese
1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1/2 jalapeno pepper or as much as you would like
2 green onions
1 pack of small tortillas
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
 
Directions 
Mix cream cheese with peppers and onions in a food processor. Spread mixture over tortilla shell evenly. Sprinkle cheddar over top and roll up tightly.Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least1 hour before slicing into 1 inch pieces.Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Dip into sour cream and/or salsa.

And Even More Cookies

We also made sugar cookies, chocolate chip squares and Mice. My son loves the chocolate chip squares adn asked that I make them for his class. Every year on the boys birthday I make treats and send them in to school so they can celebrate with all their friends. The kids decorated the cookies and ate them up almost as fast as they decorated them

Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallows

Here is another cookie I made from Rock Recipes, my kids ate these up in no time, they were delicious and very sweet, I don't think it has anything to do with the gooey marshmallow and sugar on top of the cookies. I added the optional chocolate chips...why not
