Appetizer

I'm having a happy hour with neighbors. It's 4 families including us. What should I make? So far I was thinking
Assorted cheeses, meats, crackers and Shrimp cocktail. What else? How many things? I know one person said she would bring an app but not sure if/what anyone else is bringing.

Spinach and cheese pinwheels are always a huge hit as an app. I actually got the recipe from the back of a puff pastry box. You can really add any ingredients you want but def use puff pastry. Sooo much better than using cresent rolls!

I def agree about spinach dip. Pigs in a blanket, veggie platter and mini meatballs. I also love to get a sicilian or grandma pie and cut it up into little squares. Can't get much easier than that!

I agree with the suggestion of having at least one dip -- I like the spinach dip recipe off the back of the Knorr packet served in a bread bowl with bread cubes, crackers, veggies.

A hot dip would also be good... warm spinach/artichoke dip.

I would also do a hearty, meat based app -- like the grape jelly meatballs (throw mini meatballs in a crockpot with grape jelly and chili sauce) or pigs in blankets or something like that.

If you are trying to be more elegant, I make things like baked clams, brie bites, stuffed mushrooms, homemade cheese puffs, spinach balls.

If you want to be easy, I like Trader Joe's flatbreads cut up (they have a margarita pizza one, a mushroom one, etc.) and I like their feta and carmelized onion appetizer.

Re: Appetizer

Thanks everyone!

I was thinking of a warm spinach dip. My husband wants meatballs and I wasn't going to do them but maybe I will. Maybe I will do spinach balls too. I was planning on making them for thanksgiving so I can make them in advance and keep half frozen for thanksgiving. Oh, and nuggets for the kids for sure!

The cold spinach dip is great also (Knorr recipe).
