Are there anygood snackfood for parties?!
Answers: I am having a christmas party and I need some good snacks for it
1. buy or make small chinese eggrolls with spicy plum sauce
2. chunky veggie salad. In bowl put cherry tomatoes, brocholi flowers, cauliflowers pieces, large 1-inch pieces peppers, think slices cucumbers quartered. Pour golden caesar dressing and let marinate about 30 min before arrival of guests.
3. pinwheel appetizers. Spread your favorite cream cheese and roasted red peppers onto large red (tomato) tortilla and cover with large green (spinach) tortilla. roll up tight and then slice to make pinwheels.
4. Bacon wrapped water chesnuts. Bake in oven until bacon done.
5. buy or make hummus or babaganouch (spelling) and serve wit pita chips (cut pita into triangles and toast in oven until crispy chips)
6. salad of strawberries, poppy seed and slivered almonds with lemony mustard dressing (www.epicurious.com should have the recipie)
7. make a fruit platter with yogurt dip
8. cookie platter with christmas cookies
chex mix
finger food like wing dings in a variety of flavours and sauces.
veggie tray too with dip
Chex mix, ghardettos, chips and dip...there's all kinds of stuff out there.
These two recipes work for me at every get together. The guests rave about them!
Cheese Crustinis...
1 loaf of thin French baguette bread sliced 3/8" thin.
Pimiento cheese
Spread a thin layer of pimiento cheese on the sliced bread and place them on a cookie sheet. Place them under a 400 degree broiler til the tops start to get golden. Remove and serve. Awesome!
Next...
Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts
3 cans Whole water chestnuts
! pkg of your favorite bacon
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
3 Tablespoons brown sugar.
Mix the teriyaki and brown sugar and whisk well til the sugar is dissoved. Place the liquid in a gallon size Ziploc type bag. Add the whole waer chestnuts and marinate for about an hour. Slice the bacon into thirds. Drain the water chestnuts and wrap a piece of bacon around each chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the bacon appears done to your likeness. Let them cool a little and serve.
If you need cheap. Use popcorn but in 20 different flavours. Like ranch dresing and butter poured over top; jello sprinkles mixed in with buttered popcorn; brown sugar and nuts added to butered popcorn. Nacho seasoning or cajun seasoning mixed in with buttered popcorn. Jalapeno salt and lime margaritas can't be beat. Go to a party store and buy popcorn bags or popcorn bowls. Pour melted chocolate over regular popcorn etc. By keeping the snacks the same (popcorn) and varying the topings it will be more fun and festive
breaded mushrooms or stuffed mushrooms some of my favorites. finger sandwiches or wraps i think would be good as well.
