This simple recipe is a long-time Clark family classic. We've never made it without our homemade chili sauce, but I assume that you could make do with a commercial version, if pressed. 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 1 to 1/2 cup chili sauce (this is a key source of the spread's flavor, and homemade chili sauce is by far the best; I haven't actually measured the exact amount, but there should be enough for there to be a thin layer over the cream cheese) 1 hard boiled egg, chopped 1 4-ounce can tiny shrimp, drained and crumbled 1/2 to 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional) Crackers (we usually use Ritz crackers or Wheat Thins) Spread softened cream cheese on a flat platter, approximately 9 inches in diameter. Top with chili sauce and sprinkle with chopped, hard boiled egg and broken shrimp. Add parsley, if desired. Chill. Serve spread on crackers.

Easy, easy appetizer. The salty, chewiness of the bacon makes a good combination with the sweetness of the pineapple and the brown sugar. 1 whole pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (the original recipe called for canned pineapple, so that is an option, but fresh pineapple is so much better; actually, I used pre-cut fresh pineapple from Costco) 1 pound thin-sliced bacon, cut in half 3 to 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap each chunk of pineapple in a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a wire baking rack or lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with brown sugar. Preheat broiler. Place the pan under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep your eyes on the pineapple bites so they don't burn. Let cool slightly and serve. Makes 25 pineapple bites.

I made these for our "Super bowl party". Tyler loves lasagna but I really don't like making it. This was a great substitute. I was leary of the wontons, but it really worked out.

My sister Emily made these the other day for a family party, and everyone loved them, especially the kids. Many family members went back for seconds. Of course, what I also like about this dish is that it couldn't be easier--pre-cooked meatballs and a quick sauce. And these meatballs can be served as an appetizer or over rice for a main dish. 1 cup chili sauce 1 cup grape jelly 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 6-pound bag of Kirkland pre-cooked meatballs (I prefer to NOT get the Italian flavored meatballs but it won't make that big of a difference) Put all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for about 4 hours. Stir meatballs several times during the cooking process.
