Chefs please help with upscale pool party apps?!
My sister is having a poolside party for the opening of her art gallery!. I want to bring something but am stuck for an idea!. I was going to bring skewered fruit since I have very long wood skewers with clam shells on the end but she already has fruit!. I also have a bazillion clean empty clam shell halves to fill with something but she wants no food that has to be warmed or cooked!. She is already serving skewered chicken with two sauces, fruit and cheese and pasta salads!. I do not have a lot of money but wanted to make an app (or something) that looks beautiful but can serve 100-150 people!.!.!.!.!.!.something that will not be hard to transport, can be eaten with your hand maybe!? Is there anything cold I can put in a clam shell or something else I can skewer that is not fruit, chicken or cheese!? Or do you have a completely different idea!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Stuffed Olives - very fancy, low number of ingredients, but be sure to buy the jumbo olives, as they will be difficult to stuff otherwise!. I would also recommend adding some sour cream and parmesean to the cream cheese, if you follow the linked recipe!. (Sorry I realize this one includes cheese) You can also stuff olives with other mixtures, but I think cheese is best!. You could skewer these i'm sure!.
Bacon wrapped Sausages!.!.!. Fry bacon on stove with brown sugar and water!.!. for a sweet taste, fry sausages same way!. wrap bacon around sausage and pin with tooth pic, or perhaps skewer in your case!. (not a very vegetarian friendly choice, but fun different, and fancy)
Veggies - fancy cuts!. use a carrot peeler to peel several layer of the carrot off!. roll carrots carfully into a tape like roll and skewer!. cut celery like fans!. radishes, and tomatoes, pepper chunks!. skewer together, serve with veggie dip!.
Place deviled eggs in clam shell!?
Cottage cheese witha mandarin orange in a clam shell!.!. !? (sorry cheese and fruit)
I linked a deviled egg and a stuffed olive recipe below!. Along with a tomato/mozarella appetizer thing that looks interesting!.

Just take the fruit get covered chocolate and melt it, then take you skewes and set it in a green foam and place the fruit like you would a flower basket arrange the colors to spring with strawberrys as the top with chocolate topping and peaches or like apples as the petals!.
Its fun beautiful and convient to carry, even though fruit will be there in truth you can never have to many fruit and chocolate covered fruit is always a easy delight to have!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
