Kraft makes 4 oz jars of olive and pimento chesse I use it to make cheese balls mixed with their old english cheese ,cream cheese, worcestshire sauce and diced onion been making it for many years, everyone loves it

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yum! That sounds soo good!

[@leewillers4621]

I love the cream cheese with sweet onion and pepper jelly! Thanks for the reminder of the appetizers from the 60’s, they were always good!❤

[@MealsWithMaria]

I did the pepper jelly for Thanksgiving 😀😀

[@leewillers4621]

@ yummy! That is a good combo too! So is fig jam..probably any jam or jelly you want to put on it works!

[@kellicaudill856]

Sweet onion slices???

[@joannc147]

Loving that grin of yours …..you’re barely able to contain that sense of joy and fun. I don’t even care about the food, I would SO show up to a party thrown by someone with THAT SMILE! ❤

[@MealsWithMaria]

Thank you so much!!

[@anupillai2709]

Your son is such a good helper..measuring everything so carefully 😊

[@ChefestGrandma]

I mix 50% sour cream, 50% cream cheese, and the onion soup mix. My families favorite for years.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yumm!!! Always so fun to have favorites

[@kellicaudill856]

Red pepper jelly is phenomenal

[@MealsWithMaria]

Agree!!!

I like your kielbasa tree. That’s my favorite snack meat. Just a tip for anyone who sees this: wear some disposable gloves when you’re cutting jalapeño peppers. I cut some up last week and forgot to use gloves. Big mistake. The oils got into my skin and found all the little micro abrasions I have from Christmas decorating plus just got into my very dry winter skin. 😣

Thanks for sharing these recipes with us.

[@donnabailey86]

I make my own meatballs and I bake them. I like their texture better, but frozen is great too. I also cook my sauce before I cover them. This is always a great hit at our house.

I'm amazed i've been subbed to you for a LONG time and it's so odd that I'm seeing a video from you after so many months. BY THE WAY, you need to get some Olive Salad (in glass jar at the store) and mix it in with some cream cheese and put it on a bagel. We do it all the time. I remember growing up and my mom took me to a local bagel place and they had olive cream cheese. I loved it ever since.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Aw I’m glad I’m back in your lineup!!

[@sharonfernald5399]

Love that it’s called California Dip. I grew up in California and my mom made this all the time. It was always sooo good!

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀😀 such a fun fact!

[@louettesommers8594]

The kielbasa tree looks really good. I think I’d like to make some kind of a mustard dipping sauce. We really like several different types of mustard.

[@MealsWithMaria]

That is such a great idea

[@louettesommers8594]

@ I hope you didn’t mind me sharing my thought on these. I would love eating all of these yummy foods.

[@derricklowe5048]

My mom also added a bit of Worcestershire sauce to the cream cheese mixture for the stuffed celery.

[@angelamcpherson8283]

Merry Christmas to your beautiful family

[@MealsWithMaria]

Thank you! Same to you!!

[@pamelawhite2794]

If you use a spoon to clean out the ribs and seeds, it is a little easier. Enjoyed all of these recipes.

[@MealsWithMaria]

🤦‍♀️ seems obvious now!! Thank you! I will next time!!

[@cindyjanssen8017]

Thank you for sharing some tips during the holidays. I do all of the cooking and appetizers for family holidays ❤ French onion chip dip we really like it to.😋 I had not thought about using a combination of the soup mix & adding both cream cheese & sour cream. I'll give your idea a try ..I have tried it with the soup mix and equal measurements of Mayonnaise & sour cream though. I was also short on sour cream that day... I bet it's good both ways, 🎄🎉Happy Holidays.🎉🎄

[@MealsWithMaria]

It’s a great recipe because you can really work with what you have

[@melissan9199]

My parents called it "California onion dip". Still a hit with my millinial children!❤

[@MealsWithMaria]

Ah that’s awesome!

[@shelzp7272]

I’ve always thought that you’re extra good with appetizers 🎶

[@MealsWithMaria]

[@MealsWithMaria]

You’re welcome!

[@becki_booo]

I love the Kielbasa pigs in a blamket...I discovered those last year watching an appetizer video l. The only difference is I use puff pastry, but I think I might like the crescents better. I literally just made some yesterday to being for my lunch at work. I like them better without the everything bagel seasoning tho and I dunk them in a little mustard sauce. So delish. It's one of my fav appetizers and one I make quiet often. It def gives pigs in blanket vibes but so much quicker and easier!

[@kathyclarke6327]

Anytime you can get kids to eat spinach is a good thing🎉🎉

[@MealsWithMaria]

[@lenalyles2712]

Use a grapefruit knife or spoon to deseed the jalapenos. It's easier.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh thank you!

[@wallashakalla]

My specialty is bacon jam and candied Pecans. I found both recipes on Pinterest, but people believe they’re my grandmother’s recipes 😂. I have no clue where that rumor started.

[@JaniceBole-dj2li]

We make a dip with cream cheese, green olives and garlic. Thin down with milk.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yum that sounds delicious!

[@pamking8137]

Maria, I haven't heard anything from you regarding my subscription. I haven't received the November download, nor the december?

[@MealsWithMaria]

I also always post the meal plans in the Facebook group “pantry cooking experts” if you aren’t already in there just request to join and I’ll add you. Also take a look in your spam folder and make sure I wasn’t sent to spam.

[@deborahlynnehoffmyr7596]

I was hoping there wouldn’t be cream cheese in your French onion dip. It seems like every appetizer has to have cream cheese in it. I like it but not in everything haha

[@MealsWithMaria]

Haha that’s ok! You can definitely use sour cream instead!

[@debgersh5555]

Sour cream, cream cheese...there are so many delicious appetizers that have none of that, it's as though cream cheese and sour cream are staples like olive oil and garlic powder...and while I'm at it, tired of seeing the same processed ingredients over and over.

[@anneholden9908]

Daddy used grape jelly and ketchup.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh sounds good! Just a little less zesty!

[@peggyawald2749]
