Appetizer Ideas

I have a couple of easy and healthier recipes that I can send you via email. Also, Tastefully Simple has some great and super easy recipes.... Warm the Oven Savory Cheese Dip, Taco Ball Dip, Spinach & Herb, Blueberry Fruit Dip, Cilantro & Olive Salsa, Gaucamole mix, Garlic Dill to name a few. Beer bread is a great dipper for these as well. If you are interested, let me know. I am a consultant for TS. I can also offer you a discount. I do have a review of TS on this site from another mamasource-er. Thanks!

This is always a favorite at parties-

Cream Cheese

Spread the cream cheese on a cookie sheet, spread the chili on top and finally top with the cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts and serve with tortilla chips-

Nice and easy!

sprinkle some extra parmasean on top(save some from the tub of parm. )

Mine is the same at the chili chesse on, although with my recipe you get a glass 9 in pie plate and heat it up in the microwave. This is always a hit at parties, we had is just last weekend for my son's birthday party and it was gone in minutes.
