| Hi All - I'm co-hosting an annual party on Saturday. I like to serve a variety of unusual finger foods, so I usually do a lot of cooking ahead. This year my kitchen has been remodeled, and the range isn't hooked up yet. The gas company is scheduled to come tomorrow, but I don't know what time, and in any case I'll believe they're here when I see them.
My challenge to you is this: Can you give me some recipes for munchies that are both easy and quick to prepare, and not something everyone has had 100 times? Ideally, some of these will require no cooking at all, just in case the gas company lets me down (again). I saw the baked brie recipe and the cream cheese with peach salsa on another thread. They sound great...providing I can find a store that sells the peach salsa. Any more? Thanks so much! Susan |

| You might try asking your question over at the Cooking Forum- the people there have a lot of good ideas and are only too happy and willing to help! |

| Hope you got your range hooked up!! Last week I made bacon straws by simply wrapping a store bought breadstick (stella doro) with a slice of bacon and baking. Also last week I made pumpkin dip...its really good!!! have fun!! |

| Hi, Here's a super easy sweet appetizer/dessert that I've tried: 1 box chopped dates In cooker, heat the dates and condensed milk. Mixture will be like a paste. Using a knife (or however is easy) just dollop some of this mixture on top of the Ritz cracker. Let cool. Then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture. Very delishhhhh! I did notice, thought, when I had them in the refrigerator the day after the party----that the crackers got a little soggy----could probably reheat a little. That is, if you have any left!! Or, just keep the date mixture separate until the day of the party. |

| This is great and no cooking is involved - just alot of chopping! (you can buy the already cooked shrimp at the grocery when you make this!) SHRIMP SALSA 4 lbs. cooked, peeled shrimp Cut each shrimp into 3 or 4 pieces and place in large bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers and parsley. Mix to combine. Add the lime juice and oil and toss to mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until serving time and serve with tortilla chips. |

| Susan , sorry you didn't get much help from us! As Collen mentioned, try posting over on the Cooking Forum or Recipe Exchange next time....much more active forums. |

| Thanks, everyone. This party has come and gone, but I'll save your ideas for next time. Jamie, I'll also pass your recipe on to my son, who loves to cook shrimp all the time. He also likes salsa, so I think he'll really go for this one. Susan |
