I need some ideas / suggestions for Hors d'oeuvres for a cocktail party I'm throwing. Simpler the better, but not boring. Thanks!

Mmmm...cocktail weenies....


go to http://www.epicurious.com and try searching their recipe database. You can make 'easy' a criteria, and there are reviews of the recipes.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Yup! That's nice and easy. You don't even have to slice the cheese. Just put it on trays and let everyone slice their own and throw it on bread or crackers.

You can also grill some red bell peppers and slice them really really thin and put a slice on toasted baguettes and then crumble some strong cheese on top.

Ooh another really yummy one! Slice up fresh ripe tomatos, put them on top of fresh slices of mozzarella cheese and throw down a leaf of basil. Top it with olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar. You can serve them just like that or put them on top of a slice of baguette. Sooooo yummy! Super easy too.

I dont like to let my guest slice their own cheese... : these is too much risk of them not leaving any for me.

here are two of my favorites:

MEATBALLS

1 (12 oz.) bottle Heinz chili sauce
1 (10 oz.) jar grape jelly
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. soy sauce

Put them all in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil.
Add in 1 pound bag of pre-made meatballs, you can get them most grocery stores now. They usually come frozen...can't get much easier than that!

Simmer it for 30-45 minutes.

They are great to eat with a fork or toothpick.



TORTILLA PINWHEELS

3 (4 oz.) cans chopped green chile (drained)
3 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. Mexican seasoning salt
2 tsp. garlic powder OPTIONAL
2 tsp onion salt OPTIONAL
12 flour tortillas

Mix everything, except the tortillas. Spread the paste over a tortilla. Roll the tortilla up. cut it into bite size pieces.

if you like spicy food, use diced jalapenos instead of the green chiles.

Wrap water chestnuts w/ half-pieces of bacon (using toothpicks to hold the bacon on) & bake half an hour @ 350, then throw them all in a crockpot of equal parts grape jelly & chili sauce for awhile. Sounds wierd, tastes awesome, definitely not boring.

or...mix a can of corned beef with a half pound of cream cheese and onion, mayonnaise, and fresh dill to taste. Easy to double the recipe and serve in a bread bowl if you want it to look more interesting. Serve chilled with bread chunks or crackers.

Or...the easiest, but somewhat boring...cover a block of cream cheese with salsa & a bunch of shrimp or crab meat & pick up a bag of frito's to dip in it.

Blues,
Dave

The simplier the better. Besides vegie trays, my family also likes the little cocktail weenies soaking in bbq sauce (works great in a mini crock pot) and tortilla chips with queso dip (velveeta and salsa melted together works well). Don't forget people with sweet tooths, simple brownies always disappear.

Shrimp. Very, very GOOD shrimp. I've been told many times that it's the best shrimp that (insert name) has ever eaten.

Buy peeled shrimp with the tails on. Boil them in beer with hot sauce (I use Louisiana Hot sauce) and Creole seasoning.

Mix up a dipping sauce using Ketchup, horseradish, and Orange Marmalade.

It is to die for! Easy and tasty.

I'll see what else I can think up. I've got the most WONDERFUL spinach artichoke dip, that's different than your typical spinach artichoke dip. It's a little more work, but really good if you want the recipe.
