Hi Tracy semen on the test to director at every day with Rachael Ray magazine. And today we're gonna make a really great instant appetizers using just for ingredients. We're gonna start with cream cheese and at cocktail sauce and some grant me and then a little sprinkling of fresh -- To love brighten up the plate. I had a dish that's it's about one quart container you can use a nine inch -- play. And nine inch square baking dish you don't need to be too deep. First. The cream he's -- this. This is one pound of regular cream cheese he can use like cream cheese if you want. Fat free. And just take a regular kitchen spoon. And spread that cream cheese around the bottom of the pan. My friend -- don't taught -- about this appetizer a long time ago is also the person that introduced me to cosmopolitan. That's where they're famous. And I haven't had it -- as good sense. And I can use -- now. -- we spread that cream cheese around and it's okay it's not smooth you can have it be indirectly. And trying to sauce. And if you have a little trouble getting the sauce bodily start with a knife but this is working fine doesn't have to be perfect. Also. If you want you could use -- Clinton instead. But he's also are mild. And if you're on seafood lover. On the top you could put chicken chopped chicken and shredded cheddar cheese or you can -- beans. And some pepper Jack cheese there's a lot of -- easy to substitute strip where that for the -- back. Land grant me it's nice and flaky. News Jumbo lump it that's a lot more expensive. I like to buy my cramp at my warehouse grocery store because. You can get. One pound container or or smaller to eight ounce containers for a lot more reasonably then at the grocery store sometimes. But I always like he is crab -- that's refrigerated. And not from the tuna -- because it's always a better quality. You can see when your crumbling it on top of the -- there's no -- that I can feel it all in here which is great. So you don't often do a lot of picking through it and -- that's who's gonna point to mention. So these 28 winners and put them. To. This is really great appetizer if -- friends over for a drink before you go out where you can have it before a holiday meal or cook out or. It just is great any time. And then and a little sprinkling of chopped fresh chives on the top. Adds flavor and color and -- guys that are there my favorite -- think. -- that do whatever you like whatever you're comfortable with you want confined to do -- fine. Or you can do -- inch pieces. -- And then we have some just plain water crackers. You -- teens. You can do little -- It's. Been. That conflict on a day he's at bass is her -- your favorite thing is that these are great for using your favorite little -- is that you have that you hardly get to use. -- And the best thing about this. Is it is as easy to eat as it is to make. I got to dig down and you're spreading -- get a little bit of everything on your cracker. This is the greatest. Which I have one of those cosmopolitan.
