My Fav:
Stuffed mushrooms!. I buy pork sausage and stuff the mushrooms and bake them for about 30 min at 350!.
Spinach artichoke dip:
Frozen spinach, 2 packages of cream cheese, 1 can of artichokes, 1/2 C mayo, Salt n pepper to taste!. Mix all this together!. I usually get a bread bowl and cut the inside out and fill the bowl with the artichoke mixture and bake for about 45 min at 350!.

My favorite is Jalapeno Poppers!.!. Take a jalapeno,cut the stem off,slice it down the middle, Scrape out seeds and membrane!. Stuff eac side with cream cheese!. (not the spreadable kind, use the regular)!. then wrap each side with half a piece of good bacon!. and secure with a toothpick !. Do this for as many as you want and put them on a broiler pan, stick them in the oven at 400 for about 45-60 minutes A broiler pan will hold about 25 halves!. !. Let the bacon get real good and done!.!.!. I cant make enough of them for my parties!.!. be sure and wear gloves when you cut and seed the jalapenos!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's not exactly a recipe but just a shortcut to some fun and fancy-looking starters!. If you can find an H-mart or an asian supermarket near you, you can buy pre-rolled and pre-cut dumpling skins for wrapping!. If you take these and use them to wrap apples, bananas, shrimp, pretty much anything, and deep fry them, they look and taste like puff pastry!. You'll probably have to do a little more flavor tweaking with the skins for sweet treats, confectioners sugar will probably do the trick!.
!.!.!. of course you could always go the regular dumpling's route but that's no fun!. You could also do pot stickers with frozen dumplings, they don't have to be the pot sticker kinds, and make a quick easy sauce with soy sauce and vinegar, and honey and sesame seeds if you like sweeter tastes!.
* for pot stickers you just need to heat your pan with a little oil, place your frozen dumplings in, add a cup of water or enough so that the dumplings are submerged about half way, cover, and wait until the water dries and the bottoms crisp!.
for more sweets you can do chocolate dipped fruits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
