YOu can run to the store and buy spinach dip and hawiian bread. It's always a big hit at parties. Or if you want to make it yourself
Package of frozen Spinach
Sour Cream
Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix Powder (Ranch)
Hawaiian bread
Unthaw spinach, mix all ingrediants together put in fridge for 30 min. Take a shower and when you leave for party grab it and go. People will love it and it's kinda healthy
bring a pie
Goulash..as we called it in New York. boil macaroni till done, place in baking dish. While it is cooking crumble up hamburg in a pan and cook till brown. Saute onions and peppers(buy in frozen food department of grocery store all chopped) and add to the hamburg mixture. A lg. can of crushed tomatoes added to the macaroni and mix in the rest of the veggies, season with salt and pepper and onion powder if available, and bake with bacon on top for 30 min at 350. Not much work and seldom goes back with you.
Bruschetta
Toast your bread rounds before hand, cool and store in an airtight container. You can purchase bruschetta mix ready made or prepare your own. Also purchase either feta cheese or goat cheese so you can top 1/2 the bruschetta with one, providing guests with two choices. If you make your own brushetta...finely chop a bunch of roma tomatoes, salt well and put in a colander to drain excess water. Mix in olive oil, fresh chopped garlic, black pepper and fresh chopped basil leaves. This is easy and delicious! Oh, and add more salt if needed.
APPETIZER DISH.. I love it.
Chicken Star's.
2 Boneless chicken breast cooked, and diced.
1 can of cream of chicken
1 cup of rice
1 cup of water
1 package of wonton wrappers
Take the chopped chicken and mix in with the other ingredients. Spray your muffin tin so they don't stick. Slightly put the Wonton wrappers in the muffin tin's. Then take the chicken mixture and put in the wrappers. Bake in the oven at 325 for 4-5 minutes or until mixture is done.
Good stuff, and you can make all kinds of filling to go in these.
Cold: Morgan Fairchild's Broccoli Salad.
Buy broccoli heads and cut off everything but the florets at top, separate into bite-size pieces, rinse and pat dry, put in bowl.
Throw in a half-cup of bacon bits (real, not simulated!) and a 1/3 cup of salted sunflower seeds.
Dress with: 1/2 cup mayonnaise or miracle Whip, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, one dash of worcestershire, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and pepper. Stir up and let sit for an hour.
Hot: Use a fancy, shmancy casserole dish and bake a double batch of instant cheezy scalloped potatos - Betty Crocker is a good one. Bake while you're getting dressed. The pretty dish will fool everyone into thinking you slaved all day and it will taste just as good as if you did.
Antipasto Platter:
Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Red Roasted Peppers, good Italian cheeses and meats such as Fontinella or Asiago, and Salami, Pepperoni and Olives.
Cherry Tomtoes stuffed with Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Cornbread
a cool salad

go to the local grocery store to their deli and pick one of their side to take???? Quick , easy, and hassle free!!!!!
Assuming it is not a seasonal party ... my vote would go to Baked Ziti , with or without meat.
Everyone seems to love that.
a bottle of beer with mixed friedrice and chilli chicken.
green bean casserole with durkee onions...look on the onion can for the receipe. Everyone likes it.
Rotel dip.
Melt 16 oz of Velvetta or Queso in a saucepan on medium heat, and stir in one can of Rotel canned tomatoes and peppers. Serve hot. You can reheat it, if necessary, once you get to the party.
Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like cheese dips.
Before you take any of these recipes.. why don't you ask the host or hostess what they need. That way they aren't stuck with 25 green bean casseroles or 15 spinach dips.
I would go to the store buy pizza rolls and pop it in the oven and done or make pigs in a blanket you get nathans hotdogs or anyother brand and you buy pillsbury dough then you put the dough on it like a hotdog and butter the oven pan the nput it in 4 lyk 15-45 min hoped this helped ? Melissa
Mac and Cheese!!!
something i've been taking lately that i stole from some friends. Go to Smart and Final, or a big warehouse store. Buy a big bag of frozen (pre-cooked) meatballs. Warm them in a crock pot, add a jar of your favorite spegetti sauce. Take a long rolls. Its a crowd favorite.
sweet and sour meatballs so easy frozen meatballs 1 jar of grape jelly one jar of cocktail sauce mix together place in crock-pot or pan let simmer 6to 8 hrs serve over white rice can also be made with chicken
go to cosco and buy chicken terriyaki meat balls. they are in the frozen foods. and a bottle of pinapple terriyaki. unfreeze the meatballs and marinate them in a dish with the sauce for about 5-10 minutes. put them on a cookie sheet and pop them in the oven. 360 degrees. have them in there for about 5-10 minutes. since they are going to be hot but them on a dish for cooling. you can serve them hot or cold. they are really good. and if the marination is a hassel then dont marinate them. either way they are really good.
potatoe salad
pop or a cake or some potato chips or any thing that come to your mind
well if it is an appetizer, crackers with cheese and pepperoni is good; if it is a side dish for a meal then try like macaroni and cheese (homemade is better) or maybe a pan of potatoes mashed, or green bean casserole which is very easy to make.
bean dip
