Chocolate Covered Tuxedo Strawberries

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 20:42:26 -0400

Almost any wedding or anniversary that I am close to the Bride or Groom I get elected to make Tuxedo strawberries. They are a great way to really dress up a reception table. When I make these strawberries I make a lot so I use the freezer method listed below. -- posted by Girly Griller

Bacon, Lettuce, & Tomato Dip

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:28:41 -0400

I made this last year for a baby shower and it was a huge success. It was originally from the Pampered Chef website, but I couldn't find it there any longer. That's when I decided I should post it here so that I won't accidentally lose it. Very delicious and a hearty dip. I love the flavor that the ranch dressing gives. Enjoy! -- posted by beccalynn

Teriyaki Chicken Drumsticks (Teriyaki)

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 20:55:39 -0400

This is a family favorite and so simple. I first got the recipe from a friend who was a chef in a Japanese restaurant. When I married my husband he was using the same recipe he got from his Japanese ex-mother-in-law. It is so versatile we have used it for chicken breasts, wings, thighs, salmon, halibut, beef-kabobs - even veggies! -- posted by Alskann

Cranberry Sweet and Sour Sauce

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:03:49 -0500

I made this sauce over meatballs at my daughter's wedding reception. It was a hit. Nice change from your regular sweet and sour. The cranberries give it just enough tartness. This recipe makes a lot so you may want to cut it down for smaller portions. It was enough for 280 1" meatballs. -- posted by Alskann

Gildas

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 18:28:44 -0500

Gilda means lollipop, and the classic Gilda is a simple assembly of a guindilla (Spanish chile pepper), an anchovy and an olive. The combination of good-quality pinkish anchovies, smallish, crisp, unwrinkled chillies and a freshly pitted olive produce a sophisticaded mélange. -- posted by Jordi Valles

Yummy Meatballs

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 13:35:10 -0500

I got this recipe from my favorite Betty Crocker cookbook, but it never really the same when I make them, I always add whatever herbs & spice hit me at the time of prep. They were originally served with spaghetti, but I started making them for parties and just putting them in a crockpot to keep warm, pouring "spaghetti" sauce over them. (They are also great for meatball subs... just add provalone) -- posted by WillowCloud

Linda's Egg Salad Sandwich (Sandwiches) or Finger Rolls

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 22:01:47 -0400

Great for baby and bridal showers, graduations, or any other type of party or family get together. GREAT for weddings too! You can double or triple this recipe, and it works fine. The yield on this recipe depends on how full you stuff the rolls, and how big the rolls are.

Linda's Mexican Veggie Pizza

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 20:16:06 -0400

I always make these for pot lucks, or when I need an appetizer for a special occasion... They are a BIG HIT, and I always make them for the holidays to munch on before dinner! You can also omit the taco seasoning mix and salsa and use 1 pkg. Seven Seas Ranch Dip mixed in with the cream cheese instead, to make just a regular Veggie Pizza. It is also very good! -- posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 22:46:33 -0400

My mom made these one time for a baby shower, and they were so pretty and tasty. I remember I couldn't leave these little buggers alone, until they were gone. Simple to make, and they make a nice addition to any buffet! Preparation time doesn't include time painting and drying the bread dough. -- posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen

Don't know if these are posted or not but they are too good to pass up! This is a recipe my mother has made for years. Every time there is a household or bridal shower these are requested. We have even had to make these for wedding receptions and I make them for our schools graduation dinner. Last year I made 150 of these and they were gone within minutes. -- posted by Z,G,L's mom

Peppered Tuna Skewers With Wasabi Mayonnaise

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:16:35 -0400

I am always looking for new appetizers for a cocktail party, and this one looks simple, easy to eat and crowd-pleasing. I haven't tried these yet, but I am looking forward to my next party so I can try them. Update: I made these for a tailgating party and they were a huge hit. So simple, easy and delicious! Great presentation too. I was also able to purchase pickled ginger from the sushi bar at my Whole Foods. This will now be a go to recipe for me. -- posted by Jules127

Blue Stilton Savouries

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:15:04 -0400

Another one from Delia Smith. Perfect for a cocktail party. I would think any blue cheese could be substituted for the Stilton, but it's better to have the real thing. I must add my two cents and say that true English Stilton is much creamier and more flavorful than what you get in the states, although stateside Stilton will get the job done. These can be served hot or warm, or they can be made in advance and briefly reheated before serving. They can also be frozen. Cooking time does not include chilling time. -- posted by CulinaryQueen

Grilled Mahi Mahi Taco, Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato Avocado Salsa,

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:56:14 -0400

Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos With Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato And Avocado Salsa And Pineapple Hot Sauce is the whole name for this lovely recipe. Created by Bobby Flay for a wedding on FoodNetwork, and it was a big hit with all the guests at the wedding. I wanted to share this lovely recipe with you all. It took me about 3 hrs. to make this dish, but it is well worth it! Be careful when making the Charred Pineapple-Habanero Hot Sauce using the the habanero chiles, as it is HOT with 2! I would suggest only 1 if you don't like real hot and spicy. -- posted by FoodieFanatic

Vegetable Party Sandwiches

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:08:17 -0400

This is my sister's recipe which she makes for parties and holiday events. The sandwiches are always a popular food item! In Spring of 2007, this recipe was featured in two North Carolina newspapers by the famous Food Editor, Helen Moore. Plan ahead because the vegetable mixture needs to be refrigerated 25 hours for the flavors to blend well. The recipe yields 112 party-size, quartered sandwiches. Preparation time, not refrigeration time, is stated. -- posted by Seasoned Cook

Cheese Tarts

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:49:44 -0400

Shrimp Asparagus Brie Appetizer Tartlets

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 01:18:14 -0500

Easy sounding recipe since it uses prepared mini tartlet shells-from a magazine called Park Place, Winter, 2007. Haven't tried it yet. I had to guess the time to cook since it says only "cooking time depends on the size of the shell being used." -- posted by Oolala

Linda's Luscious Spinach Dip

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:45:14 -0500

This dip is always a HUGE hit whenever I serve it. Great in a bread bowl, or as a dip for veggies, chips (ruffled are best) crackers, scoops, or pita and bagel chips. The time doesn't include the time in the fridge to meld flavors. You can add a small jar of chopped artichoke hearts to this recipe if you like! -- posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen

This is a great dip for parties, get-togethers of all kinds or just for the family on movie night. I found this on the net. It's great with crackers, veggies, warm sourdough bread, or even bread sticks. Seems like when there's dip, you'll find something to dip into it! -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Cocktail Meatballs

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 19:56:42 -0500

Tired of paying for frozen meatballs to throw into a crockpot for a get together? So was I when I got to the grocery store and the cheap frozen meatballs were sold out...The only ones left were almost $10.00 a bag for about 40 meatballs! I thought to myself " I could make these.."....So here is my recipe which yields about 106 meatballs for much less and a much better taste.The sauce I use is the standard grape jelly/ chile sauce recipe. I think it is a perfect compliment. These are a great 'make ahead' item as they freeze well and you can make as many as you need for the holidays... Enjoy! (This recipe is designed to be easy to cut in half or make more....I always make more and freeze for when they are needed!) -- posted by jennyluvscooking

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:44:07 -0400

Sarmale are tradditional Romanian cabbage rolls that are always served at weddings and during Christmas, as well as other occasions or for no occasion at all. My Romanian friend, Carmen, gave me this family recipe that she altered slighty since becoming vegetarian. It can be a lot of work and a little complicated as you first try rolling/stuffing the cabbage leaves, but after a little practice you'll get it and the results are fantastic! -- posted by Enjolinfam

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:13:54 -0500

These are very easy to make and are absolutely delicious. The ingredients are estimates since it really depends on how large your crostini are. Feel free to make your own crostini by cutting french bread into thin slices and toasting them in the oven. Prep time does not include the soak time for the figs. Another option for serving, is to take the soaked figs and blend in a mini food processor, then spread on the goat cheese before baking. -- posted by C. Taylor

This is a sausage ball recipe that we make every year for the holidays. My kids have a blast making the sausage balls and then watching them "boil".

Smoked Salmon Mini-Cheesecakes

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:43:00 -0400

Creamy two-bite canapes in a flaky crust, perfect to make ahead in volume and freeze for large parties. I had tried several savory appetizer cheesecakes, to be made in a large spring-form pan and served as spreads on crackers, but found the leftovers messy to deal with the day after parties. As with the large ones, don't over-bake---you want that little creaminess in the center. I use a muffin tin that makes 24 at a time. This recipe makes three batches---total of 72 individual appetizers (6 dozen).. . -- posted by La Dilettante

Grand Ma-Ma's Deviled Eggs (No Mayo!!)

Chilled Summer Lettuce, Lovage and Garden Pea Soup

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:25:38 -0400

A delightful and refreshing chilled soup for summer - this savoury soup takes its flavour from freshly chopped lovage leaves, which impart a savoury, lemony and celery-like taste. I like to serve this pale green soup in clear glass bowls for maximum impact, with a few chopped leaves sprinkled on top and a swirl of cream. This soup makes an elegant starter for any summer event or a light luncheon dish. Do not be tempted to add more lovage then is suggested, it is a very strong flavoured herb and can be overpowering if used with a heavy hand! -- posted by French Tart

Ham and Cheese Strudels Appetizer ( Paula Deen)

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:21:01 -0400

This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house. It is definitely time consuming so plan on it taking more time than you think but it is worth it. It is definitely a keeper flavor wise as the caramelized onions bring out the ham and cheeses. The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH
