We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.

Simple appetizer?
Any suggestions for a simple appetizer? We are traveling an hour Sunday to my niece's Christening, then go back to the house. My sister-in-law is having cheese and crackers, veggies and dip, deviled eggs, a sub and wraps. I'd like to bring an appetizer, something that can be cold, room temperature or microwaved? What's your favorites? Thanks in advance for sharing.
I love artichoke dip, I have one that is good heated in the microwave.
ReplyDeleteI also had a ruben one that was great. Served on mini pumpernickel bread.
That one could be heated in a microwave and then keep it warm in a small or large crock pot. I'll post the actual recipes later.
For a simple, cold and beautiful appetizer, I always like caprese sticks -- fresh mozz balls, basil leaves and cherry tomatoes on a toothpick or skewer.
ReplyDeleteOr the crabmeat dip?
ReplyDeleteThanks Reg, I made the caprese sticks -- fresh mozz balls, cherry tomatoes on a toothpick and I served them with a pesto dipping sauce, they were a huge hit, especially as there were several vegetarians and people with wheat allergies. I also made Cocktail Meatballs in the Crockpot (thanks Stacy for the recipe). They were yummy and easy as always.
ReplyDelete1 jar Chili Sauce
1 can whole Cranberry sauce
small meatballs of your choice
I just throw it all in the crockpot and heat through.
This will sounds silly but how do you do the fresh mozz into balls? I need a app for sunday and have lots of cherry tomatoes and fresh basil in my garden.
