The only thing I can think of that would make this menu PERFECT are mozzarella sticks... Have you tried the TGIF frozen ones, they are

Oh and
a) I've never heard of a 'hey we have a new place that doesn't smell like wet dog--so lets celebrate' party
and
b) I am NOT bringing a gift.

heeeeeeeeheeeheeeeeee

I have a hit at my parties and its bbq meatballs. So easy. You buy a package of frozen meatballs (as many as you want) and put in 2 bottles of honey bbq sauce in the crock pot....and let them cook. everyone loves them and wants to know the recipe...i tell them it's a secret!!! You just keep tem in te crock pot at the party so they stay warm!

hahahaha! that poor dog.....i can almost hear her saying 'drop the mozz....drop the mozz....drop the mozz' over and over again

the ones i make--the hardest part is just the prep...you have to triple bread them for the best falvor and for them to stay together while they cook. that's the part that sux balls. BUT when they cook---mmmmmmmmmmmmm

i'm donna effing reed

what about pizza? Like english muffin pizza or just ordering a sicilian pie and cutting them into smaller pieces (depending on the time limits)

Garlic knots are always good too

You can always put some chicken nuggets in the oven too

I love all your ideas, especially the pigs in a blanket. Those are my favorite

i have the easiest artichoke dip recipe: 1 can of artichoke hearts (chopped) 1 cup mayo (i use LF, tastes the same and makes me eat more ) I cup parmesan cheese, bake at 350 to 400 till bubbly. I sometimes add hot sauce and either breadcrumbs or paprika to the top for a little color. It's SO easy and delish.

also love seven layer mex dip; i think that's easy and always a hit, esp if you make it with ground beef (or ground turkey).

do you have a trader joes near you? they have great Gyoza (pot stickers) frozen that are quick and easy to cook. just warm/fry in a pan with some oil for a few minutes and then add water to steam them the rest of the way. DELICIOUS!

How about spinach dip? So easy: recipe is on the back of the Knorr vegetable soup mix. You need 16 oz sour cream, 1 c mayo, the soup mix, a can of sliced water chestnuts and a pkg of frozen spinach. I usually put it in a pumpernickel bread bowl (carve the middle out into chunks) and buy a small loaf of pump. bread to go with it for dipping...the trick to making it awesome is to completely dehydrate the frozen spinach.

Re: I'm bored as can be--so lets dish---about food dishes. lol

definitely suggesting the spin dip in the bread bowl! it is delicious!

...it is easy to mix up and looks real cool - you can use the inside of the bread bowl to dip and have chips like tostitos on the side! you need: knorr's mix, spinach (frozen), a big round loaf of bread fom the bakery, sour cream. BAM!

it's a good thing.

stuffed mushrooms -- ooooh i'm going to have to dig for my dad's recipe but i'll email it to you. they are easy to make and SO good.

HTH!

I am so happy you are this thrilled w/ your new place - you really deserve this!!!!

Re: I'm bored as can be--so lets dish---about food dishes. lol

one of my favorite is so easy and I'm sure everyone has had it (in addition to the mini burger)

take a pie dish....spread out cream cheese on the bottom if pie dish (cover whole thing)....put a jar of salsa on top.....shredded cheese on top of that...throw in the oven and bake until cheese is melted....EASIEST thing and yet everyone eats the whole thing.

i do this, but instead of salsa i do a jar of hormel chili(w/beans)....it's SOOOOO effin' good! easy, cooks quick & everyone always loves it!
