...I have been asked to bring some to a family party this weekend.

What should I make? I ate like a little hog this past weekend because you all are just creative and excellent cooks. Share some ideas and recipes! I will have access to an oven so I can make/take/bake if need be.

TIA :smoochy:

Make that spicy shredded chicken dip that's so good. :drool: I remember talking about it with Nickel...I'll try to find the thread. It's a real crowd-pleaser! :jet:
 
"This tangy, creamy dip tastes just like buffalo chicken wings. It's best served hot with crackers and Celery sticks. Everyone loves the results!"
Original recipe yield: 5 cups.

I do a shrimp appetizer that's good, got it from Log Cabin restaurant when I worked there years ago (now Adams). Use med. to large shrimp. Devein them and slice but not in half. Fill slice with horseradish and wrap with a half piece of bacon and bake until bacon is done. I use a toothpick to hold them together. Serve with Thousand Island dressing.

Of course, my family loves the Hillshire Farms Lil Smokies wrapped in crescent rolls.

Chicken salad wontons

Fill wonton wraps with a teaspoon of chicken salad (make anyway you like)
Bring the 4 corners together and pinch.
fry in oil until golden brown.

Serve with duck sauce. I prefer the red sauce, but if you like the yellow it will do.

These are super easy and very tasty...

Parmesan Popovers:

3 eggs
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence
4 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 cups whole milk
3/4 cup grated Parmesan (about 5 ounces)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a blender, combine eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and herbs, milk, and cheese. Blend on medium speed.

Spray a mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 full. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove popovers from muffin tin and cool on a wire rack

:yeahthat: I love those things...

OR, you could take the little smokies in a crock pot and add barbecue sauce. That is yummy.

OR, here is my yummy Mexican Dip recipe, well not mine, but one of my favorites:
1 container of sour cream
1 container of cream cheese
1/2 a jar of salsa
1/2 a package of Mexican Shredded Cheese Mix
1/2 an Envelope of Taco Seasoning
Mix it all up and let it chill for a few hours. Serve with Tortilla Chips. It's my favorite take-to-a-party staple.

And my all time favorite "hors d'oeuvres" is:

Mini Ham Puffs

1 pkg crescent roll dough
3 oz processed ham, chopped finely
1 sm onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup swiss cheese, shredded
1 egg
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard

Mix up everything except the crescent roll dough. Spread the dough out and slice it up into 24 squares. Place each square in a greased mini muffin tin pan and press to form a cup. Divide the filling among the cups, pinch dough together at the top. Bake 15 minutes at 350 until lightly browned.

They're delicious! I'm a fan of anything in mini muffin form. :lmao:
