Oscar Award Appetizer Ideas?!
Answers: Hi. I am going to an Oscar awards theme party tomorrow night and am in charge of bringing appetizers that go along with the movie Juno. Unfortunately I haven't seen it though. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could bring? Thanks so much!
Red licorice ropes
Sunny D (get the individual sized bottles)
Pigs in a blanket (since she's preggers)
Call the pigs in a blanket "Your Baby In A Blanket Has Fingernails)
Great movie, by the way.
Pigs in a Blanket
Sausage Balls made with breakfast sausage, cheese & bisquick
Stuffed Cherry tomatoes (labor intensive but worth it)
Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
24 cherry tomatoes (can use a mixture of red and yellow tomatoes)
Cut a small portion off the bottoms of each tomato so they will sit on a try without rolling. Slice off the tops of each tomatoes and scoop out centers with the small end of a melon scope to make a hollow yet sturdy shell; discard centers. TIP: Turn cherry tomatoes upside down and use the bottom for the top when stuffing. This keeps them standing straight.
Invert tomatoes onto damp paper towels and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
Using a small spoon, fill each tomato with about 1 teaspoon of the filling of your choice. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. My favorite fillin is:
Crab Filling:
1/2 pound cooked crabmeat, finely chopped
1/4 cup diced celery, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon cashew nuts, chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
1/2 to 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
In a bowl, combine crabmeat, celery, cashew nuts, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tarragon, and mayonnaise (use just enough mayonnaise to moisten and hold ingredients together).
Or you could stuff them with guacmole.
go to www.kraftfoods.com and make their crab rangoons. You WILL be the hit of the party!!!
Another favorite is 1/2 slices of bacon rolled around sliced water chestnuts, secure with a toothpick and bake in the over at 325 for 40 minutes or until crisp. Delicious!
