!.!.!.using things I already have on hand!. I usually make a quick party dip (layer of cream cheese, covered in salsa and shredded cheddar) with nacho chips, but I would love some new ideas!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You can make crostinis!. Just drizzle some olive oil on slices of french bread cut diagonally (or similar bread)!. Bake the slices in the oven just until crispy/crunchy, golden brown!. As soon as you take them out of the oven, rub a piece of raw garlic onto each slice!. Spread goat cheese onto each slice, or another spreadable cheese like brie or alouette!. Elegant, simple, yummy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I also like pepperoni with triscuits and a little shredded mozzarella cheese!. Everyone loves pretzels too-either with cream cheese dip or a cheese ball!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
