Re: Need a really simple appetizer to make
Ham Roll ups. Buy thick sliced Deli Ham ( a good brand) Spread with plain Cream Cheese and Cut up Green olives Roll and then cut into round slices.
* Crudite Buy Vegetables and cut them up and serve with store bought dip
* Cream Cheese Salsa Spread Buy cream cheese (the block, not whipped) and place on dish. Pour any type of salsa over the top and serve with crackers - I prefer a mango or some sort of sweet salsa.
