2 cans (28 oz. total) diced tomatoes, drained well
½ onion
1 clove garlic, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cilantro leaves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp parsley
2 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend to desired consistency.
Note to Team Southerland- Do not allow a person with a cold to make this with free access to several jalapeno's. Daddy did that to us in Virginia once. Mommy did a "modified stationary panic" until my thoughts returned to my mind and I ran to get something to drink. It was the hottest thing I have ever tasted! Daddy took it to church and there was a couple in attendance who lived in Guatemala. They tasted Daddy's salsa and said, "The flavor is really good but it is too spicy!" :) We laughed and laughed. Someone even drew a little picture of a man with tears running down his face and set it up against the serving container of salsa. (It might have been Daddy who did that!) :) I think the 2 jalapenos are about the max that Mommy can take in this but it sure does have a fantastic flavor! By the way, Daddy's salsa has nothing on Uncle Michael's salsa. His is so hot that the guys sweat when they eat it. Now that is some serious "clearing your sinuses" food! :)
Love Always,
Mommy

Shell's Guacamole
1 avocado
1 tsp lime juice
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cilantro
¼ tsp garlic powder
Halve and scoop avocado into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Smash it all together with a fork. Enjoy!
A long time ago I ordered the Guacamole Live! at On the Border restaurant while we lived in Virginia. It was an appetizer that they made for you at your table. I came home and recreated this recipe after watching how they did it. They didn’t use garlic powder so I added that part in because I like garlic. :) Daniel loves this stuff and would eat an entire bowl of it if I let him. He and I usually polish off a bowl if this in no time flat. He is my guacamole buddy! Maybe one day he will be making this for his wife and children. :)

Hot Cheesy Chip Dip
Mommy creation
1 lb. hamburger, fried and drained
2 lb. block of Velveeta
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 can Hormel meat only chili
Lots of tortilla chips
Fry and drain the hamburger; set aside. Cube the Velveeta and place cubes into crock pot. Add soup, chili, and hamburger to the crock pot and stir to combine. Cook on low for 2 hours or until Velveeta is melted. Stir well and put crock pot on warm to serve.
This recipe started out as a recipe on the back of a can of Rotel tomatoes and it has evolved into something completely different; so, it has become a Mommy creation. This is a yummy one to take to parties. This was also one of the famous Germany NASCAR party dishes. So yummy!
If there is any left over, this freezes really well. To serve from the freezer, run hot water over the container to loosen dip and place the frozen chunk in the crock pot. Turn crock pot on high for 2-3 hours or until melted. You can break up the chunk after about a hour to speed up the process. After dip is melted turn the crock pot to low.

Hot Artichoke Dip
Marjie Davis
2- 14 oz. cans of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 1/2 C. mayo
1/2 C. parmesan cheese
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients. Spread in an ungreased 9" x 11" baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes uncovered. Serve hot or cold with chips, celery, crackers, etc.
Mommy was given this recipe by a lady named Marjie when we were stationed in Turkey. This is a wonderful recipe to bring to get togethers. We used to make this all the time for our "NASCAR parties" in Germany. Sometimes we would have a big NASCAR party at our place but there wouldn't be any NASCAR race showing that day! That's how it went with our military TV programming. We still had tons of fun. Uncle Jean-Luc, the Heise's, George Chapman, and the Stuits usually showed up for our parties. Those were wonderful days!
Mommy just made this yesterday and took it to Uncle Jean-Luc and Aunt Jill's house for our Superbowl get together. It was still as good as we remembered it to be. I think we will keep this recipe around! :)

Stuffed Eggs
Not sure where this recipe came from.
4 hard boiled eggs
4 tsp mayonnaise
3/4 tsp prepared mustard
3/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp pickle juice
dash of salt
paprika, as garnish
Boil and peel eggs. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Place the yokes in a ziplock bag and smash them up. Add the remaining ingredients except paprika. Combine the ingredients by smooshing them all together in the sealed ziplock bag. Cut one corner of the ziplock bag and pip the egg yoke mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and chill.
PePaw loved these eggs and I made them too many times to count. We didn't have our chickens at the time and we bought dozens and dozens of eggs- I loved seeing him eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think he lived on them for awhile! :)
One day one of PePaw's caregivers decided to warm some of these up in the microwave. She put them in for way too long and exploded them everywhere! It was a HUGE mess! There was yellow creamy stuff and white egg chunks all over the inside of the microwave. What an egg disaster!
