Appetizer Ideas Needed

Anyone have any great (and preferably easy!) appetizer recipes? Having a Girl's Game Night In with 6-10 people. We're not having a main course, just appetizers and a dessert or two... no seafood, please!

Thanks in advance!!!

Caramelize some vidalia onions with a little of each butter & evoo. Sprinkle in some thyme. Once soft and sweet spoon into those mini phyllo cups and top with goat cheese. Bake for 5-8 min. Simple and yummy!

I made these baked brie cups for NYE and everyone loved them. baked brie cups


I did the apricot and ginger snap ones. FYI, the only box of ginger snaps I could find was a really big box, so I just grabbed a bag of Pepperidge Farm ginger men cookies and grinded them down in my food processor.

spinach balls - warning this recipe makes A LOT! I would cut it in half.

3 packages of chopped spinach
3 cups of herb bread stuffing
1 large onion
6 eggs – well beaten
¾ cup melt margarine
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 tlbs pepper (i use white pepper to give it a little bit of a kick)
½ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp thyme

Cook spinach (Plain) – drain spinach well
Mix all the ingredients together and make into little bit size balls. Put onto a grease pan and bake @ 325 degree for approximately 20 minutes.

the great thing is you can prepare this in a bowl and put it in the fridge until you are ready to heat them up (they are best served hot)
