What are some simple foods to make for a wedding?!
A dear church friend of mine is getting married for the third time (she's lived a troubled life before she found Jesus)!. Since it is a small, simple wedding (about 15 guests) I told her I would make the food!. I am planning on making a pesto dip and a seafood pasta dish!. What are some other ideas!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure what the "real" name for this appetizer is, but they are delicious and easy to make!. Take a slice of ham, turkey, or chicken and spread a small amount of mayo on one side!. Take pickles and cut them into four long pieces and place one piece of pickle on the slice of cold-cut w/ the mayo!. Roll up the cold-cut and hold with a toothpick!. Serve chilled!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Gut out the center of dill pickles!.
Mix together cream cheese and bacon bits
Fill the middle of the pickles
Cut the pickles in slices (like the way they serve it on sandwiches and hamburgers)
Put it in the fridge for 12 hours
- SOOOOOOOOO Yummy, and they have a neat look to them too =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fresh veggies and fruit, a cake of course and how about a salad!. You may want to consider a meat dish for people who do not prefer seafood!. Maybe a couple of roasted chickens with roasted potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
those don't sound very simple to me!.
stick with basic things like a fruit tray, cheese tray, crackers, vegetable tray, and finger sandwiches, mints and nuts!. that's simple to me!Www@FoodAQ@Com
