1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup minced radishes

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp salt

Rye bread

1. Cut bread into small pieces. Also, thin a few radishes for garnish.

2. In a medium bowl with a spoon, mix the mayonnaise, minced radishes, sour cream and salt.

3. Spread mixture on rye bread. Garnish tops with radish slices.

Linda's Note: why not do as Spinach Dip? Mince the radishes well, and put in a bowl with other ingredients, with rye bread cubes around it to dip in. Sounds good to me. Also, refrigerate any leftovers, covered.


2 pkgs hot dogs

Cheese single slices (I use American cheese)

2 cans chili with beans

1. In a casserole, slice one-third of the hot dogs; then add cheese slices to cover them. Then add one-third of the chili and beans. Do this three times.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Linda’s Note: I do this in my Crock Pot, my 3½ qt one. It is tasty, and I serve with homemade corn bread (I put mine right on the bread). A green salad is also good. If you want more liquid in your dish, so you can serve it on the corn bread and add ketchup or a little tomato juice.


1 can peas

1 can Spam, cubed

2 tbsp butter

1 bag rice, cooked

1. Mix all ingredients, and cook until hot; serve.

Linda’s Note: This can be done in a Crock Pot or in the oven. I add the juice from the peas when I do it in the oven, and cover it when it is heating. Nice with shredded Cheddar Cheese over it. I use the bag of rice that makes 4 cups but usually just make 3 cups of rice, as that is two meals at our house.

1 pint mayonnaise

1 purple onion, chopped finely

1 clove garlic, minced
