Common foods at Parties?!?
We are having a little Christmas Party at school before we leave for vacation but i dont like what i have to bring (cupcakes) are there any more ideas out there.
Answers:
I have a great and easy recipe for individual cheese cakes. Before you say, "Nah, too much work", check it out, they go over really well:
INDIVIDUAL CHEESECAKES
2 (8 oz.) cream cheese, soft
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Also:
Nabisco Nilla wafers
Cherry pie topping or any of your favorites
Foil cupcake baking cups
Beat ingredients well. Put a Nabisco Nilla wafer in each foil cupcake baking cup. Makes 18-20 individual cheesecakes. Fill foil cupcake baking cup about 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 17 minutes. Top each individual cheesecake with a spoonful of pie topping when cool.
how about those little smokies cocktail wieners those rule put them in BBQ sauce
make ham roll ups...they are good and easy and don't require any cooking. Take a slice of ham lunchmeat, put a thick slice of cream cheese and a miniature dill pickle in the middle. roll up the ham from one end and then slice in large or small slices. Everyone loves these!

4 cups curly macaroni/twisty pasta

Oil for deep frying
One of the following seasoning mixtures:
Mixture A: 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning and 1
teaspoon garlic salt
Mixture B: 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon each chili powder, cumin, and
onion salt
Mixture C: 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt,

Or for a sweet version try:
Mixture D: 2 tablespoons lemon zest (or orange), 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4
teaspoon salt
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water with 1 tablespoon oil until just tender. Drain, spread onto waxed paper and blot away excess moisture with paper towels.
Fry the cooked pasta in batches in hot oil (375°) until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels. Transfer the fried pasta to a serving bowl and sprinkle it with the seasoning of your choice while still warm and moist. Toss and serve.

Spiced Nuts Recipe
Assorted shelled nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts, etc.)
For sweet and spicy nuts:
Peanut oil, for drizzling
Sugar, to taste

Chinese five-spice powder, to taste
For savory nuts:
Peanut oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt, to taste
Chili powder, to taste

For a savory and spicy nut, toss your choice of nuts with oil, salt and a few dashes of chili powder.
Lay out the nuts in an even layer on a baking dish. Bake, redistributing the nuts every 7 minutes or so to make sure they cook evenly, until the nuts are lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

1 pound grated mozzarella cheese
Grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano, as needed
