Mom's Russian Bierocks

Mom made these recently when we were out at their house for supper. We all loved them. They are easy and they also keep for a while. You can freeze them and then just pop them in the microwave for a quick lunch.

1 medium size cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 lb. hamburger
1/2 lb. ground sausage
1/2 tsp. salt
Seasoned Salt to taste
Garlic Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Crescent Rolls

Mix cabbage, onion, seasonings, hamburger and sausage, cook until done. Cut crescent rolls into large squares (4 inch). Place a tbsp. of mixture on each square and wrap, pinching edges together. Bake at 400 degrees until browned.

KayCee's Tortilla Appetizers

A couple years ago we were at Jayson and KayCee's home to watch an OU Football game and KayCee had made these tortilla appeitzers. They were exceptional. I recently was reminded of them and craving them so I asked her for the recipe and made a batch of them.

1 package of the big tortillas
3 8 oz. package of Cream Cheese
1 package of hidden valley ranch mix (mix in however much you want to taste -I used 1/2 - 3/4 of the package)
1 bunch of green onions (chopped)
2 packages of carl budding cornbeef (chopped)
1 small can of chopped black olives (you probably won't use it all)
Shredded cheddar cheese

Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit out a while. Mix all the inredients together in the cream cheese and add the ranch how ever much you want and however much of the olives too. Spread a liberal amount on to the tortillas and then slice them up!

Purple Seedless Grapes
Fresh Blueberries
4 Kiwi Sliced
1 Cup Cream
3/4 Cup Splenda

Cut up in bowl and mix together. Pour the cream and splenda over and toss again. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This salad also keeps for a couple of days too.
