Cheese logs

This is a recipe I developed years ago after loving something similar from the grocery store but not wanting to pay their price.  It turned out well enough to give to my neighbors.  Not long after that, I got a phone call wanting the recipe for Homemaking meeting.  I didn't really have a written recipe to give.  Since then I've written and rewritten as I've made it each time.  Add as much or as little crab and green onion as you like.
Cheese Log 1

2 pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 tsp Bon Appetit seasoning
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup chopped crab
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Mix well.  Form into logs and roll in chopped pecans.  Refrigerate.  Serve with crackers.

This one is adapted from one from All Recipes.  The first is still my favorite, but this is spicy one for a change.

Cheese Log 2
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
1 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced  (don't be afraid, this is what makes this good)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Sprinkle to taste with Taco Seasoning


Mix well.  Form into logs and roll in chopped pecans.  Refrigerate. Serve with crackers.
