Braunschweiger Dip

If you are a fan of pates or braunschweiger sandwiches, you will love this stuff.   I was served it an an appetizer on Thanksgiving and immediately fell in love.   We were spreading it on crackers, but it would good on just about anything.  I am thinking it would be especially good on some of my onion rye bread, sliced thin and toasted crisp, but no matter what you are eating it on, it is addictive.   But this recipe has been around a long time, I have seen it referenced back in the 1960's and may be even older than that.   Whenever it originated, it needs to be brought back! 


1 lb. good quality braunschweiger, removed from casing

8 oz, cream cheese, softened

1 small onion, peeled and chopped (if you prefer milder onion flavor, use 3-4 cleaned green onions instead)

about 1/2 tsp  garlic powder

1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce 

Place in the bowl of a food processor and whirl until completely smooth,  scrape into a bowl and chill until ready you are ready to eat it.   Some recipes I have seen call for a couple tablespoons of ketchup and I bet a spoonful of horseradish would be good in it, too.

Cheese Log

I always love when people bring cheese logs to dinners at work.   If it has any kind of cheese involved, I love it.   My friend Kim over at the Kansas City VA hospital, brought one to work today that was exceptionally good.   She sent some home with me and I shared it with some of the other staff  I work with in Topeka.  They all enjoyed it too.   Kim was kind enough to share the recipe with me and now I'm sharing it with  you.   Enjoy!

2 8-oz. packages of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
4 green onions, thinly sliced
6 slices of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
1 pkg. dry ranch dressing mix

Mix all together well, form into a log and them roll in chopped pecan pieces.   Serve at room temperature with whole grain crackers.
