parties

Are you having a party and need appetizer ideas? I will put a few on here and maybe it will be something you can use.

Sausage balls - very simple. ground sausage mixed with a little ground beef or ground turkey. throw in a little bread crumbs, roll into balls. Heat slowly over med low heat until browned. Add some grape jelly and let simmer. Easy, inexpensive, and good.

Shrimp/crab or seafood dip - 1 jar salsa, 1 pkg. cream cheese softened, cooked shrimp or crabmeat chopped, handful of shredded cheddar. Mix all ingredients well. Put in a bowl surrounded by your favorite crackers for dipping. Easy!

Bruschetta - Diced tomatoes, diced onions or onion powder, minced garlic or garlic powder, chopped basil, mozzarella cheese, loaf bread. Mix the tomatoes, onion, garlic and basil. Set aside. Slice bread into 1/2" slices and toast in oven lightly. Spoon small amount of tomato mixture on each slice and top with cheese, put under broiler just long enough to melt cheese. Simple and delicious!

These are just a few of the really easy items you can serve.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

Happy cooking and good eating!
