Ingredients: Cream Cheese (Spreadable) 16 oz
Sandwich Style Ham Slices 12-24 depending on size

Directions: Spread cream cheese over shortest lengh of ham, both ends if possible, I use the large rectangles, then cut in half. The asparagus spear goes on top of the cream cheese and roll it up. Serve as cold as possible or keep in shade. Two roll ups a piece as a serving. Too easy.

Added By: Sharon G.
My Yacht Name: Lucille
Yacht Manufacturer: Island Packet
Ingredients: 4 large, soft tortillas
1 can refried beans
1-2 c. shredded cheddar
1 jar thick salsa
leaf lettuce
Directions: Spread 2-4T. refried beans on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Spoon salsa across the middle of the tortilla. Place lettuce on half of tortilla, then roll, tightly, from that end to the opposite side. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in cooler while enjoying a short sail. When ready to serve, remove plastic, then fasten with 5 toothpicks, evenly spaced. Slice between toothpicks. Place on end, showing the cross section, to serve.
Comments: This makes an easy to make, easy to eat, lunch or appetizer, and can easily be changed to suit a variety of tastes, or ingredients on hand. For example, cream cheese and ham with spicy mustard works very well.
