apps:
cold antipasta; meats, cheeses, crackers, olives, pickled eggplant, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, etc...

Than hot appetizers:
stuffed mushrooms, stuffed artichokes, clam dip, fried shrimp, and who knows what else

Than honey baked ham, candied yams, green beens, baked ziti, meatballs, etc

Dessert

My grandma is hosting Easter so I'm just making dessert:
Oreo Stuffed chocolate chip cookies
Peanut Butter snickers cookies

SIL is hosting this year (we alternate which side DH or mine every year and don't make the trip to see both for easter)...

I am bringing red wine (lots of it) and an app...not sure what app just yet...haven't decided...but I am leaning towards something that does not require baking/heating.....SIL is an animal in the kitchen when she hosts holidays and I want no part of it.

Also, I burned his parents kitchen down a few christmases ago (literally caused a fire dept fire...new store, the whole 9 yards)...so ever since then I am a bit reluctant to bake/cook/re-heat in any of their kitchens...

cold / easy app suggestions please! I made goat cheese with rosemary honey baquette bites once and they all loved it so I may rock that again....

PS - all of your menus sound amazing!!!
