I love anything with tortilla chips...one of my faves is mango salsa:
2-3 mangoes
1 red bell pepper
1 small onion
1 jalapeno - seeds remove unless you like spice
Juice of one lime
Chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
Chop and mix everything all together, or just throw it in the food processor and pulse until chunky (I love my Hamilton Beach one from Walmart - the best $30 I've ever spent). You can use a few canned peaches too to stretch the recipe and spend a little less on the mangoes.

Love to make shrimp cocktail- although a bit expensive, it is easy and looks so elegant.
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 slice onion finely chopped
2 jalepenos minced
1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/3 c olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
salt & pepper
Great dip - sounds gross but it really is good. prlin at suddenlink dot net
Bacon wrapped little smokies. Yum. Leave them in the oven smothered in brown sugar for an hour.
Definitely a once a year treat!

Bacon wrapped water chestnuts:
marinate whole water chestnuts in soy sauce for about 15 min,
then wrap half strips of bacon around them and put a toothpick in to secure (soak toothpicks in water for a while to keep them from flaming!),
place on tin foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
Yummy!

One of my favorite appetizer/desserts for the holiday is cracker toffee candy. You can use either graham crackers, saltines or ritz. Line a 9x 13 pan with crackers, melt 3/4 cups butter with 3/4 cups brown sugar and pour over the top of the crackers. Sprinkle 6-8 ounces of chocolate chips over the top and wait a few minutes until they get shiny, and spread them out. Let it harden (can be in the fridge), break into pieces and enjoy!

I blogged about your giveaway here. Two more entries to go. Might have to e-mail and post my recipe tomorrow. It is getting late.
my favorite appetizer:
you take a package of cresent roll dough and roll it out on a cookie sheet. You spread a thin amount of cream cheese on it and then spread some Trader Joe's red bell pepper & eggplant spread on top of that. Then take some thinly sliced salami and layer that down. Add some shredded cheese too.
Then just roll up the dough like a spiral and brush butter with a little parmesan on the outside. Bake at 325 for about 15-20 minutes. Watch it closely as to not overcook the dough!
This is so good you have to try it!

My all time fav is Spinach Artichoke dip! (Rachel Ray's is fabulous!!!)
Two 10-ounce boxes chopped frozen spinach
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Half of a small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg (eyeball it)
One 13.75-ounce can artichoke hearts in water, drained and chopped
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (a couple of generous handfuls)
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella or scamorza cheese
1 loaf whole grain baguette, cut into bite-size cubes
1. In microwaveable bowl, defrost the spinach in the microwave for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the spinach in a kitchen towel and wring dry. Tear the spinach into small pieces and set aside.
2. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and lemon peel. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Increase the heat to high and cook, whisking often, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach, artichokes and half each of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and the mozzarella. Transfer the mixture to a casserole. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
3. Preheat the broiler. Broil the dip until bubbly and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Serve with the bread cubes.

I've adapted this from a Sargento recipe.
Sun-dried Tomato Pesto & Chicken Puffs
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ jar or slightly more of sun-dried tomato pesto
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced or shredded
1 can reduced fat refrigerated biscuit dough (the largest/grand size)
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Mix first three ingredients and set aside.
Pat or roll out each biscuit into a 10 inch circle. Put about ¼ cup of filling into center of circle. Pull up the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch to seal. Roll in parmesan cheese and set seam side down on baking sheet. Follow directions to make the biscuits. I believe it is 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
These are pretty big, so to make them into an appetizer use half a bisquit or use a crescent roll triangle and roll up and bake. Everyone loves this and it is someone different that the ordinary fare.
I subsribe to your feed. Thanks.
Although I love making really fancy appetizers, sometimes around this time in the year you need all the shortcuts you can get! Plus bringing something healthy to a party is always a good idea.

One cup sour cream + one package dry ranch dressing
Serve on a fancy holiday platter and voila!

A great dip is one I received from my grandma, Alabama Dip:
1 large block of Velveeta
1 lb. cooked hamburger
1 lb. cooked hot sausage
1 can crm of mushroom soup
1 can Rotel
1 medium jar of salsa
It's so much more exciting (and tastier) than regular Velveeta and Rotel!
my standard party appetizer is Salami Bread.
1 egg
2 t basil
1 t garlic powder
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
sliced salami
I make a sweet bread dough in my bread machine, roll out on a floured surface. Beat egg and seasoning and use as a wash over rolled out dough. Layer with salami and cheddar cheese, then roll like cinnamon rolls, tucking the ends in. Bake at 325 for about 45 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

Here is a YUMMY recipe
Popcorn Chicken With Rice
(*I like to put the rice in a cupcake liner or one of those little paper condiment bowl-things, you can buy @ the grocery, then put the chicken on top!)
Ingredients:
4 Chicken breasts
1-2 tbs.Cajun powder
Basmati rice ( or what you like)
1/2 c. veg.oil
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts and chop up into small, tiny pieces.
Put oil into the frying pan and then the chicken pieces and stir over medium heat.
Before the chicken becomes white, shake on Cajun powder to taste.Keep cooking until well prepared and crisp.
Serve on top of rice (again, your choice)
*Optional- you can set out dipping sauce for the chicken, like BBQ, honey mustard, ect...
I like soy sauce with this, I make it as a dinner sometimes. This is a versatile recipe!

Our family's favorite appetizer:
Black Bean Salsa Dip
2 packages (8 oz. each) light cream cheese (nuefchatel), softened
3/4 cup light mayo
3 tablespoons Pantry Southwestern Seasoning Mix (from Pampered Chef - no substitutes!! This IS the flavor.)
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced, divided
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 can (4.25 ounces) chopped, ripe olives, drained
3/4 cup salsa (Garden Fresh Salsa is our favorite.)
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (8.75 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
2 bags of Tortilla chips
Combine cream cheese, mayo and Southwestern Seasoning mix until smooth. Using a cake decorator with a star tip (or a Hefty one-zip plastic bag) fill with 1 cup of the cream cheese mixture; set aside.
Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over bottom and halfway up sides of Oval Baker (or any other small/med. dish you have).
Slice green onions; set aside 2 tablespoons for garnish. Finely dice bell pepper. In a bowl, combine remaining green onions, bell pepper, olives, salsa, garlic pressed with Garlic Press, black beans and corn; mix well.
Spoon half of the salsa mixture over cream cheese layer. Pipe half of the reserved cream cheese mixture in a zigzag pattern over salsa layer. Top with remaining salsa mixture. Pipe a decorative border around edge of bowl using decorator (or you can go crazy and pipe whatever type of design you'd like). Sprinkle with reserved green onions.
Serve with Tortilla chips. We also love Fritos Scoops with this dip, because they're a nice heavy duty chip. They mean business and they don't crack under pressure. This is a serious dip!
Remember: I don't recommend any substitutes for the Southwestern Seasoning mix! It will not taste the same. I can not stress that enough. Happy Holidays!

One of my favorite recipes to make is Spinach Rolls:
Lay out some Pillsbury crescent rolls and spoon some spinach dip (any kind - homeade or store bought) onto the center of each roll. Roll up and bake as directed. Serve with more spinach dip for dipping.
These have never lasted more than 5 minutes in my house!

My favorite appetizer is Mini Shrimp Dip. Mix one package of cream cheese with a little sour cream and spread it on a plate - about 1/4 inch thick. Then pour bottled cocktail sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture. Add a can of drained, rinsed mini shrimp. Refrigerate for about an hour and serve with crackers. Yumm...

I have a lot of favorites!
Sausage balls,mini smokies wraped with biscuit dough,7 layer dip with chips,tortilla bites, but my new favorite... buy the Orville Redenbacker popcorn oil (near the popcorn) and you need 12 oz. I mixed half of it with half regular oil because I am cheap like that. Put a bag of salted pretzels in a bowl. Sprinkle on a package of dry Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix. Pour on the oil. Stir. Put a lid on the container and everytime you walk by turn it, flip it, shake a little. I let it sit two days- after the first it was still a little greasy to grab a handful. They dry out more in another day. EVERYONE loved them at the party.

Ham & Cheese Crescent Pinwheels
Take a container of crescent rolls and roll it out into one big flat piece. You might pinch around the lines. Take a block of cream cheese and spread over the dough. Then layer swiss cheese and ham. Roll it all up into one big log and cut it into circles. Lay them flat on a baking sheet and bake as if they were crescent rolls. They are pretty and yummy!
Thanks for the giveaway!

We don't usually do appetizers, so we just nibble on the cookies and candy until dinner is ready. But this year I'm trying a recipe for Spinach Artichoke Dip. We'll see how that goes!!!!

Everyone loves my beer cheese dip - it's just 8oz of Velveeta, 8oz of cream cheese, and a 1/2 a can of warm beer ... Mix it up on the stove then dump it in a little crock pot and eat away with warm fresh bread (or buy French bread from the store). Delic!

I like to keep things simple (and stress free) so I go with a simple yet yummy cheese plate. Slice various flavored cheeses, pepperoni, grapes, and apples, into bite size pieces and arrange with cracker on an elegant serving platter.
You can add just about anything you like.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!!

Oh my!
Fried ravioli with marinara dipping sauce is always a hit at our holiday parties. Buy the frozen (cheese works best) raviolis, roll them in egg and bread crumbs, give them a quick fry and yum-o!
