Tips and Tidbits

The first time I tried these my aunt brought them to a Christmas party, they were so good I had to try making them myself.  Try making them with Italian dressing mix, it's great too!

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

36 cherry tomatoes
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon dry Ranch dressing mix

2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Place tomatoes stem-side down. With a serrated knife carefully cut off the top 1/8 inch or so of each tomato. With a small spoon or knife carefully scoop out a small amount of tomato. Set tomatoes on a platter. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, dressing mix, and milk. Blend well. Fill each tomato with about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle tops with chopped parsley. Refrigerate for up to 6 hours before serving.
