Answers: detailfor this Food as in snacks, sandwich,dips,chips, cookies
I try to make little things like tarts so that I can make a WHOLE TRY at one time and then you don't need to worry about SERVING them or having serving spoons or forks exc.
I do Mini-Pecan Pie in Gram Cracker Tart Shells and Mini-Key Lime Pie in Gram Cracker Tart Shells... (Shells are about $2.00 for 6 Keebler brand at Dominick's or Safeway)
You can take a muffin tin and use pre-made Keebler pie crust to make mini-quiche! You take the dough and use a glass to cut out circles to fit in the muffin cups then you make 1 big batch of Quiche:
6 eggs
1/2 cup half & half or milk
2+ cloves of garlic - pressed or minced
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
Then put different "Fillings" in the shells...
Like, Sauted Mushrooms and onions in one batch...
Bacon and spinach in another...
Chedder and broccoli...
Goat cheese and parsley...
Just make sure that the "fillings" are not packed in so the egg has a place to go and that you only fill each cup 3/4 of the way full because the egg will expand when it cooks.
Puff Pastery, docked to not puff all the way, with apple slices made by using a peeler then sprinkled with sugar and glazed with either apple or approcot jam...
You can use small cups to make the puff pastery only 2 or 3 inches across... or even do squares!
Single shrimp glazed with pesto and a parmagean curl...
Single Endive Leaves with a cream cheese, smoked salmon, chive filling... (Whipped together to make it light and not over powering...)
OH! "Crab Puffs" with Sweet & Sour dipping sauce...
2 packets cream cheese, 1 pack Krab or 1 can of Crab, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 or 2 minced cloves garlic, salt & pepper... Whip together then add them to won-ton wrappers, moisten 1/2 the edge, fold over, then deep fry...
DAMN GOOD!!
Have fun... You can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it!!
You could make ham roll ups
Spread cream cheese on a tortilla, layer ham, swiss and lettus on, then roll up and cut in pieces.
I would have cold cut platters, potato salad, macaroni salad, a few different types of chips and dips, a holiday cookie platter. Of course this would be a buffet type of meal and in the center of all this I would have a whole roast pig.
Wing dings, sandwich rings, salads, hot sausage.
