@^%$ Appetizer Ideas!
If you saw any of my other rambling posts about tomorrow, my in laws are coming over for "dinner." BIL tells me he's coming at NOON to start the ribs for dinner at 7. Now I find out that HE invited the rest of the family over at noon as well ... when we aren't eating until 7pm.
I need appetizer ideas ASAP ... I have no food in the house, and I can't have all those people with no food all day. I need some easy ideas ... I'm having my bathroom counters installed tomorrow and I'm going to be very busy (since I'm also cooking all the sides for dinner).
Help! TIA!
Re: @^%$ Appetizer Ideas!
Do easy stuff like guacamole, queso, chips, cheese/crackers, veggies & dip, baked brie (wrapped in crescent roll dough with preserves inside), spinach/artichoke dip...
Those are the easy ones I can think of. If you're up to something slightly more time consuming, figs wrapped in bacon is a hit at our house and more on the 'fancy' side.

spread some cream cheese on a plate- 1/2 layer or so and pour some pinapple habanero sauce over it- serve with wheat thins.
Super easy...the sauce is a small jar from HEB. Can do the pineapple/habanero or a raspberry chipotle- both are great!
Here's a very easy, quick, yummy dip:
Coarsely chop a jar of marinated artichokes, add 2T chopped red onion (more or less to taste), 5T mayonnaise, 1/2c shredded parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Microwave 30 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds or until bubbly.
Serve with crackers or thinly slice baguette.
this is what i was thinking. no time? buy frozen.
