Cream Cheese Crab Ball
I gave this recipe out Christmas eve I think...but it was a huge hit at my families Christmas and IL's so I thought I'd share again...
2 bricks of cream cheese
1 can crab
2 jars of cocktail sauce
box of Ritz crackers
Let cream cheese soften, mix in crab, form a ball, pour cocktail sauce over ball, serve with Ritz crackers.
Seriously the easiest thing to make, cheap and delicious. Even my 86 year old great uncle likes it.

Stuffed Mushrooms (Courtesy of Allrecipes.com)
12 whole fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.
