HELP!
For work we have a potluck lunch/staff meeting once a month. This month I am in charge of the menu & thought it would be fun to do an appetizer & fruit bar, only 1 problem I can't think of a good appetizer to make! Someone is already bringing veggie pizza. Do you have a favorite appetizer you that I could have the recipe for? Maybe with meat?

Sweet and Sour meatballs? Or Fruit pizza is really good too- you use Sugar cookie dough for the crust and a fruit dip for the sauce, then stack on fruit like on veggie pizza.
Make Mushrooms.. They are my fave and are ALWAYS a hit.. You just break the stems outta the mushrooms and put em on a cookie sheet, then mix browned sausage with cream cheese.. put the mixture in the mushrooms and bake 4 about 35 mins.. They are divine!!!
ooh ooh, pick me! I love appetizers! JeN's recommendation for stuffed mushrooms really is a good one. I also love ham wrapped around a little cream cheese, deviled eggs, chicken or ham salad on little rolls or empty cream puffs, cheese ball and crackers (or increasingly popular, cream cheese covered with pepper jelly and crackers)... there's an infinite realm with puff pastry, making little pinwheels filled with cheeses or meats. You can also fill tortillas or baked wonton wrappers. Wonton wrappers can be put in mini muffin cups and baked and they hold bowl shape, which of of course could then be filled with a myriad of possibilities. There's also dips, like spinach-artichoke dip, bean dip, nacho dip, fresh salsa...
I'd better end this before it becomes a novel. oops, too late. ;) Let me know if you need help finding recipes!
Check out my other blog. It's alveycook.blogspot.com
Roll out some puff pastry just a little thinner and then put a little sausage (you don't even have to brown it or anything) down the short side. Roll it up just until the pastry meets, cut off the extra and repeat with the sausage, rolling, and trimming until all the pastry is used. You can cut them however long you want, I usually do about an inch and a half, then just bake as directed on the puff pastry package! The sausage cooks too. They are super yummy either warm or cold! :)
Oh how I miss those potlucks;) I am no good at comming up with food ideas. So Noah is getting so big and cute as ever! Hope you're doing good.
