Office Christmas Party Food Suggestions?!
I have an office Christmas Party next week and I need to bring a dish to pass!. There are 7 people attending, and one of them (the boss) is a vegetarian!. I need an easy, and most importantly inexpensive, idea of what I can bring!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Is there a specific course you are responsible for!?
Dessert is always a super easy and fun answer, plus it takes the guess work out of the vegetarian issue!.!.!.
here are a few good and easy choices
PUMPKIN DIP
4 c!. confectioners sugar, sifted (I’ve had best results with name-brand sugar)
2 (8 oz!. each) pkg!. cream cheese, softened
1 (30 oz!.) can pumpkin pie filling mix
2 tsp!. ground cinnamon
1 tsp!. ground ginger
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and cream cheese, beating until well blended!. Beat in remaining ingredients!.
Makes about 7 cups of dip!. (That’s a lot of dip, be warned)
Serve with ginger snaps, I like the fancy thin ones you can find in the deli with the cheeses, etc!.
This recipe usually goes over very well!. I usually double it though!.
Cookie Dough Cheese Ball
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4-1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1!. Blend first 3 ingredients until creamy!. Add powdered sugar and brown sugar mix well!. Fold in choc!. chips!. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours!. Shape into ball, wrap in saran wrap-again refrigerate 30 minutes or more!. When ready to serve, take the ball out of the wrap and roll into the pecans or toffee bits!. Serve with graham cracker sticks or vanilla wafers!.
I keep these ingredients on hand for a spur of the moment (aka I forgot to stop at the store) dessert:
Dump Cake
1 yellow cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
1 lg can crushed pineapple
1 stick butter melted
Grease 9×12 pan!. Dump in cherry pie filling and pineapple (do not drain)!. Dump in dry cake mix!. Drizzle with melted butter!. Take a knife and poke it around the cake but do not stir!. Bake at 350 til golden and bubbly and cobblery looking (30-40 mins)!. Could add chopped nuts or coconut 1/2 way through cooking time if desired!. Could experiment with different flavor ways (spice cake and apple filling, yellow cake and peach filling, etc)!.
