: WEll yes I didn't say it was easy but thats
: why people hire caterers. So that being said
: I suggest you do the Warm Brie, Artichoke
: Dip and Devilled Eggs (they're cheap
: enough). We often do a "Tapas
: Table" with Hummus & Pita, Salsa
: & Tortilla Chips, Veg Crudites and Home
: Made Dip (have a great recipe with Knorr Veg
: Soup Mix, Water Chestnuts, Mayo & Sour
: Cream), a Cheese Board (the Brie, house made
: crostini from leftover breads/rolls, display
: on ceramic tyles and add some who cheeses
: (make guests to the work!) with dried or
: fresh fruit. Mini Meatballs are always a hit
: (you can buy 1/2 oz size from National
: Grocers Cash & Carry - 160 for $36!!!
: Use any sauce you like.

: Well you could have fun by making mini
: comfort
: food items such as Mac 'n Cheese Muffins or
: Meatloaf Muffins "frosted" with
: Mash Potatoes.
: Or mini Tortiere Meat Pies. Everyone loves
: Deviled Eggs and we kick ours up by adding
: finely grated cheddar cheese and minced
: crispy bacon. A hot Artichoke Dip always
: goes over well, or a wheel of brie topped
: with hot Caramel Sauce will have guests
: drooling. Cake Pops (either cheesecake or
: chocolate) dipped in White Chocolate are
: very in right now.
