Serves 12

2 11-ounce cans Mexican corn, drained
2 4½-ounce cans chopped green chiles, drained
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
Corn chips, for dipping

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 13 × 2-inch casserole dish.

In a medium bowl, mix the corn, chiles, cheeses, and mayonnaise until fully combined.

Spread the mixture in the prepared casserole dish and bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges. ( I also top with extra cheese)

Serve the dip warm from the oven with corn chips.

Oreo Truffles

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Directions

1. Crush cookies to fine crumbs in food processor. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter. ( I chill for an hour before covering in chocolate)
2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. Instead of toothpicks, I use a skewer.
3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

Written in my Heart for Renee and Family

December 7th, 2010

Remembering three special angels in heaven today.

Cindy (Roggy) Jarman, Tonya Jarman and Timmy Jarman.

This month we celebrate this wonderful time of the year in which we celebrate the birth of our Savior, I cannot help but realize that this year is also another Christmas you have without your beloved Cindy, Timmy and Tonya.  I want to assure the Roggy family that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time, and I know the same God who has helped you with past trials, will be ever present during this one as well. 

* You are a very special woman Renee!
