Deviled Ham Pinwheels

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
½ cup cream style cottage cheese, drained
2 teaspoons dry Ranch dressing
1 4½-ounce can deviled ham
½ cup parsley
½ cup chopped pecans

In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, cottage cheese, and dry Ranch dressing mix. Spread the mixture on a foil-lined cookie sheet, 9x7x3/8-inch thick.  Cover and chill overnight. Spread deviled ham on top of cheese mixture.  Mix parsley and chopped nuts together. Roll the chilled cheese and ham like a jelly roll, then roll the resulting log in the parsley and nut mixture. Slice and serve with crackers.

This recipe was handed down by Todd's mother, Sandra McIntosh, who makes this every year for Christmas.  Instead of parsley, try 1/2 cup of chopped chives for a zestier taste.
