Mix 1 block of cream cheese + 1 tablespoon of ranch. Spread it over the crackers. Top with sliced (seedless)cucumber, tomato, yellow (any color but yellow stands out amidst the green and red) pepper.
Sprinkle dill weed over.
The name might not attract you but believe me, it tastes divine! A friend in class made this and although it seems complicated, it is not. :)

MY FIRST BLOG!! Since I enjoy cooking, I thought that it might be good to jot down all the ideas and recipes. For example, Yusheng is a once-a-year dish that I make and I would always forget how I made it before because it is a collection of various individuals, restaurant-eating and recipes that make it delicious. Hence, I hope that posting up the recipes will help me keep track of what I've made that were good! So...........my first post! Since this was the thing that just happened.....----Got this "treasured" recipe from an aunty. Her husband loves her home-made cookies so much that he has been eating them for the last 20 years since they got married. Would you believe that he has never bought cookies since then? You might be thinking, "wow, these cookies must be good." Oh yes, they are! (Girls, this is a must-try recipe! You'll never know when you have to bake it for your boyfriend or husband...haha ;p )
