ACCORDION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Cut bread into 16 slices, cutting to, but not through the bottom crust. In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise or salad dressing, Italian salad dressing, and Parmesan.
• 2. Tuck chicken or turkey, ham, and cheese slices between every other bread slice. Place a well-rounded teaspoon of mayonnaise mixture in the slits with the meat, spreading slightly. (If the loaf breaks apart, press a piece of foil around the bottom of the loaf.)
• 3. Place on a baking sheet. Bake loaf in the 375 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until hot. Makes 8 servings. 8 points per serving

ACCORDION TREATS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lengthwise. Fold double-thickness foil crosswise into 1-inch pleats to make an "accordion-pleated" pan. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with second sheet of foil.
• In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into each fold of foil (dough spreads during baking to form 4 1/2 to 5 inch-long cookies.).
• Bake at 325°F for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely. Turn foil over for second baking.
• TIPS: If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a powdered sugar glaze.
• VARIATIONS: Substitute one of the following for the walnuts or vanilla. Replace walnuts with 1 teaspoons cardamom, caraway seed, anise seed, or grated orange or lemon peel. Replace vanilla with 1/2 teaspoons rum flavor or almond, orange or lemon extract.
