Appetizers

jacquelyn_erika

At work this week, everyone is bringing an appetizer style passing dish for a little Christmas celebration.

I can either do something homemade and have no problem with store bought items.

Also, it doesn't have to be "calorie friendly".

Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks.

I've made a hybrid between fiesta baskets and southwest eggrolls that were soooo yummy. The eggroll filling, but in the baked "basket."

I winged it on the eggroll filling, though. A pile of chopped up chicken breast in the crock pot with pack of frozen chopped spinach, a glob of salsa, frozen corn, dry black beans that soaked overnight (lower sodium than canned), and a bag of frozen pepper and onion stir fry. Add cheese and a slice of Jalapeno on top, and they're good hot (maybe use a chaffing dish?) or at room temp.

veggies and hummus is easy and you can make it pretty and spread hummus on bottom and put dices red pepper and cucumber and a little feta on top and maybe serve with some whole wheat crackers or something.

Here are some healthy ideas. One of my easy favorites is a fresh fruit and baked brie platter.

Little pigs in a blanket... you can use the turkey or chicken lil' smokies and reduced fat crescent rolls (cut them up smaller), or if not worried about calories a fav is the cheddar lil' smokies and regular crescent rolls. Always a hit whenever I make them!
