  1. Guava paste and cheddar cheese...you sure seem to know a lot about my likes and dislikes. How'd ya know?
     
  2. I've made these many times. You can place them atop Ritz crackers as well!
     
  3. Really good. I grew up with this and cream cheese on galletas. yuummmmmm
     
  4. I brought this to a "pot luck" and received rave reviews and requests for me to make it again soon. The combination of flavors is out standing! Thanks Blue Peacock!
     
  5. This recipe seems simple, but the two ingredients together forms a great fusion. I tried this and liked it! Cutting the ingredients into cute shapes can make this look even better.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a school psychologist and enjoy cooking, traveling, dancing, sports and music. Recently, I have remarried and moved to New Jersey. Like many of the mothers on Recipezaar, I have two precious boys, a 7-year-old and I have just given birth to my second son. I love to try all kinds of food, particularly from other countries, because for that nationality, that food is the most delicious for them. After moving to New Jersey, I have had the wonderful opportunity to try food from all over the world, especially authentic Italian-yummy! Cooking is one of the most wonderful things that a person can do. My son loves to mix and help in the kitchen; it brings everyone joy when he is creating his masterpiece.
