Last week we had decided that we were going to have an Appetizer Night. This is always one of my favorites when we have it at home. I love appetizers, don't you?
Look!! We have our sign on. That means it's time to chow down!
Since we have a new house every gathering is considered trials on how we will work out Thanksgiving. We are used to having all the food on either the table or side tables in the dining room. Our current dining room size does not permit that so we are doing trial runs on how to set up the kitchen island and proceed to the dining room.
Here we are having a trial run on filling our plates.
Now, here is the food we enjoyed.
K.C. made some Jalapeno Poppers.
These were really good. Jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped up in a crescent roll. What's not to like about this?
Gary made his favorite -- Fried Ravioli with sauce for dipping.
Now he did not make his own ravioli he used frozen. He then proceeded, with the help of his able assistant Lily, to bread the ravioli and deep fry it. What isn't good deep-fried?
I made Spinach Cream Cheese Swirls. Cream Cheese, Monterrey Jack Cheese, Garlic powder and frozen spinach. Spread this on puff pastry, roll up, slice, and bake. Man was this good!
Miss Annette made Pizza Strips.
These were really good. I don't remember what she called them but I said Pizza Strips because they are cut in strips.
So there you have it our Appetizer, 'Munchies' Night. Now I'll confess that I wasn't sure how filling our Appetizer night would be so I doubled my recipe. Now look through our pictures and most everything had a form of bread with it (Jalapeno Poppers, Spinach Cheese Swirls, Pizza) and bread is very filling. Don't worry, I didn't let those Spinach Cheese Swirls go to waste. I froze them! So when I need a little 'munchie' I can just pull 2-3 out of the freezer and pop them in the microwave! Win Win for me.
So, tell me, what is your favorite appetizer?
