Ingredients
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Hidden Valley ranch dip mix
2 ounces cooked bacon, chopped or crumbled (6 pieces of cooked bacon)
5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped in food processor or with a knife
1 cup green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
More julienned sun-dried tomatoes and loose parsley leaves for garnish.
Serve with crackers, crostini or cut up veggies
Instructions
Add softened cream cheese, sour cream and ranch seasoning to a medium mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, chopped green onions and chopped parsley and mix together.
Spray two mini loaf pans with cooking spray and line them with plastic wrap, leaving enough hanging over edges to use as a cover for the log.

Divide cheese mixture evenly between the loaf pans, pressing it down into the corners with a rubber spatula and then smoothing out the top.

Fold plastic wrap over the top of each cheese log and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.

To serve, unwrap the plastic wrap and gently loosen the loaf by pulling on the plastic wrap. Turn your serving dish upside-down, and place it on top of the upright loaf tin. Holding them together, flip them over and that loaf should pop right out… if not just give the plastic wrap a few more tugs.
Garnish with more julienned sun-dried tomatoes and some parsley leaves.
Recipe Notes
If you are making this in advance you can freeze it for up to two months.

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
