Small/finger foods can i serve at my "party"?!
Answers: Its more like a small get together but I really don't want to cook what small/finger foods can i serve at my "party" we are going to be serving alcohol. Their wont be any teenagers were all like 23
I ve been thinking of this too as Im throwing a similar party- U can pick up the frozen french fries, cheese stix, chicken wings, etc and keep a variety of dips along. a few packs of tostitos adds to the qty as well.
egg rolls
sushi
cheese squares
samosa
You could have veggies and ranch or fruit kabobs just an idea
You can buy a bunch of frozen apps at like watmart or somewhere (egg rolls, wings, spinach dip, etc.) Just heat and serve.
cheese and crackers
Bruschetta on bread
nachos and salsa
chicken wings
chips and dip
or order a pizza and have then cut it into small squares
tyson makes microwavable buffalo wings..
theres like taquitos.
just go to your freezer section in your store and look for small appatizers.. there should be a whole section.
Chicken fingers! Serve with celery and carrot sticks! You could also serve sandwich wraps. Just cut them into small rolls.
cheese and crackers....cheese ball.....ckn wings....fondue with chocolate dip strawberries pretzels banana marshmallow etc.
chips n dip
buy a veggie tray or meat tray
all ready made appetizers all you do is put them in the oven. they come with quiche, potatoes puffs and hot dogs. also you can do small cold cut sandwiches . olives and pickles .
2/3 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
6 chicken drumsticks (about 6 ounces each)
6 chicken wings, tips removed (about 3 ounces each)
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves 6
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Coat a large baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, flour, Parmesan, oregano, basil, thyme, salt and pepper; mix well. Spread mixture on a sheet of waxed paper. Pour milk into a shallow bowl.
3. Dip the chicken in milk, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Dredge the chicken in bread crumb mixture, turning to coat and patting well so crumbs adhere.
4. Place the drumsticks on prepared baking sheet bake for 10 minutes. Add wings to baking sheet. Bake chicken, turning once, until no longer pink and juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 35 minutes.
I hope I helped! :)

buy a few cheap fondue things and cut up fruit, bread and veggies
peanuts, crisps, mini quiches and mini pizzas(can be cooked in advance and eaten cold), grapes, cheese and pineapple. mini sausages, scotch eggs, pork pies, most supermarkets will do a selection platter for a few quid, you could just steal ideas from them as they would probably be cheaper if you made them yourself.
Do you have a crockpot?
You could do swedish meatballs (buy frozen, bake them til they heated, toss them in the crockpot and add one can of cream of mushroom soup and one can of milk. Season w/ salt n'pepper to taste). OR do the whole bake the meatballs and throw them in the crockpot with BBQ sauce (it's easier).
Cheese and crackers, veggie tray with various dipping sauces...ummm...ever try those mini tacos in the frozen section?? They're actually pretty good. Chicken fingers...taquitos...
Hit up your local Costco, Sam's Club or Smart & Final. The frozen sections usually have a pretty vast selections of finger foods.
at small parties i like to serve trays ...
Veggie tray .. carrots, broccoli, celery with ranch
Pickle tray .. different pickles, olives
Cheese tray ... different cheeses and different crackers
Meat tray .. peperoni, small sausages, salami
and any others you want.
one more thing i like is tomato's and motzerlla cheese, marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar with Italian seasoning on top.
bite-size crab cakes
bite-size empanadas with chili dipping sauce
ham croquettes
chicken croquettes
bbq wings
spring rolls
nachos
Spring rolls
Strawberries dipped in chocolate
Mini hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll (baked), serve with hot mustard.
get a french bagette style bread stick, slice up in round slices and make mini pizzas.. toast bottom sides, then flip and spread some ready pasta sauce (ragu etc) and add a couple of black olives, mushrooms and chopped pepperoni (or even cheapo salami (like sandwich meat chopped up) and sprinkle a bit of mozarella over and put under broiler till browned and melted (takes about 3-5min to cook)
#2 BBQ'd chicken wings.. buy a ton of chicken wings and then a couple bottles of prepared BBQ sauce. dip wings in sauce and lay out on baking sheet and broil until turning brown and crispy looking.. brush again with sauce and serve in bowl with sauce on side..
#3
flour torrilla wheels.. take a package of large flour tortillas, and any cream cheese spread (flavored is nice) and any package of your favorite sandwish meat slices, (salami etc) and some nice fresh spinich (or other nice greens).. spread cream cheese on tortillas, layer sandwich meat and then spinich, out flat, then roll up tortillas, wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate 30min to an hour to chill, then remove wrap and slice across tortillas to make little coin slices.. it looks real pretty and tastes great..
*Stuffed mushrooms or jalepeno poppers (you can buy these frozen).
*Mini quiches (also in the frozen dood section)
*Chicken tenders served with BBQ sauce or dijon mustard
*Creme Puffs (also frozen)
*Cheese & crakers are always easy - you can place greek, black and geen olives on the cheese tray to make it look good
*Chips & dip or tortillas & guacamole or salsa
*Cream cheese rolls - mix cream cheese and green chilies and spread the mixture on a flour tortilla. Cut the tortilla in pieces and serve as little pinwheels.
*Vegetable or fruit tray
*Swedish meatballs - get the frozen bags of meatballs and throw them in the crockpot witha few cans or cream of mushroom soup - they are ALWAYS a hit.
Try cheese pieces and pickled onions or gherkins on toothpicks,club sandwiches with smoked salmon&cream cheese&lettuce.If something more substantial is required,go with a selection of pizza,and sausage rolls.

herbed zucchini spirals
3 zucchini, scrubbed
2 cups parsley sprigs
1 to 2 garlic cloves, or to taste
2/3 cup walnuts
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
Preparation
Using a mandoline or similar slicing device cut the zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange the slices on a steamer rack set over simmering water and steam them, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. (The zucchini slices should be barely flexible enough to roll. They will soften more as they cool.) In a food processor purée the parsley, the garlic, the walnuts, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, and salt to taste until the mixture is smooth. Arrange the zucchini slices on a work surface and dot each slice along its length with a heaping teaspoon of the purée. Roll up each slice jelly-roll fashion and fasten the spirals with wooden picks, Arrange the spirals in a shallow baking dish, sprinkle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan, and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the spirals are heated through.
cheese stick is the best!
make a big sub sandwich and cut it up, pizza rolls, hotwings, shrimp, chips and dip. veggie tray.
At my get-togethers, people always scarf down tortilla rollups. Mix softened cream cheese with green chilis and some spices (like garlic, onion and chili powder), and then spread it in a big tortilla or wrap. Then roll it up and slice at centimeter increments. These can be made quite healthfully if you want as well (light cream cheese, whole grain wraps), and the variety of spreads is limited only by your imagination. :) I hope your party is a blast!
Dips-
No cook food:
7 layer mexican dip
Cheese ball, or cheese w/ Crackers and Grapes (always a big hit for me!)
Veggies w/ dip.
Chips and salsa, guacamole
Shrimp cocktail
You could have a Fondu party!! Very fun for your age group. (you need to do some prep work and cook the fondu, or the store sells the fondu cheese and you just melt it and add a few ingred's)
You will need a fondu pot (either old fashioned or electric). You can do cheese fondu, or chocolate fondu.
Drinks:
You can make 1-2 large batches of a mixed drinks so you dont have to tend the bar or buy tons of liquor. Also, you can make sangria, and serve wine, etc.
(I am working on a classy party site right now, but these are just a few ideas.. you can also think of a certain theme, ie; Cocktail party, and make some big batches of martini's or cosmos.... or just go with what you like! Good luck!)
