These aren't fancy, but are fine if it isn't dress up (and Duchess can make them, haha). If it is dressy, go with Tiki's rich people food.
I love cheese balls. I just do. They go good with wine when you get the munchies. haha (If you want fancy, get a goat cheese log and roll in it chopped fresh parsley and dill)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
2 1⁄2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1⁄2 cups chopped pecans
In a medium size bowl, mash cream cheese. Mix dressing mix and Cheddar cheese into the cream cheese. Shape the mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the chopped nuts. Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. Serve with nice crackers, or Nabisco Sociables.
Everybody loves the spinach dip recipe on the back of the Knorr Spring Vegetable Soup Mix box. Serve in a sourdough bread bowl or with crudite.
This is a good crudite dip I took to a shower. Chicks love it: http://www.countryliving.com/recipefinde...e-dip-3397
Bowl of Kalamata olives.
Carmelized Onion and Gruyere Tart: this is the basic recipe w/pics http://www.digginfood.com/2009/11/carame...yere-tart/
Smoked salmon platter.
Baked brie with honey or warmed apricot jam on top (after you bake it) served with sliced apples. (I don't like the rind, so I cut the top off.)
Chicken salad (white meat chicken, mayo, pineapple tidbits, halved grapes, pecans, minced celery) with mini croissant.
I would think of more, but I'm getting hungry. Just make sure you have salty, savory, and sweet and you should be good. Some people will want enough for a meal so they don't have to make dinner when they are drunk. haha
