Crab Tater Tots
1 lb cream cheese softened
3 tbls minced garlic
1/4 c fresh cilantro chopped
1/4 c scallions chopped
1 tbls chipotle sauce
1/4 c cream
1 c shredded mild cheddar
1/2 tbls tabasco
1 lb crab meat
1 pound shrimp chopped
3 lb frozen shredded hash browns
3 c bread crumbs - panko if you can find it
blend the cream cheese till smooth
fold in the rest of the ingrediants and blend thoroughly
scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball, then squeeze it gently to form a cylinder "tot"
into the fridge for an hour or two
deep fry at 375 for 3 - 4 minutes or into the oven on a greased cookie sheet at 400 for 10 - 12
this will make nearly 100 tots - so any more than you can eat you can freeze, then thaw and reheat...

NoNo's Spinach Dip
1/2c heavy cream
1 lb hot pepper cheese cubed {monteray jack)
8 oz cream cheese cubed
1 small onion diced
1/3c chopped celery
10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
1 jar chopped pimentos drained
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 Bouli bread hollowed out (slice off the top and hollow out the to make a bowl - save the top for a lid (and the rippings you can cut into 1" squares for dippers))
over medium heat melt the two cheeses
stir in remaining ingrediants
when thoroughly blended pour in the Bouli bread and serve with dipper chips
that one is killer and cheap to make - might wanna do 3 and be diverse in the cheese choices - you're limited by your own imagination when it comes to ingrede's & presentation - manja!!!
