Appetizers???

Anyone have any good appetizer recipes?

I'm lookong for something new, but I don't want to use the oven during the summer if I can help it.

bean dip. take a rectangular pyrex or glass pie plate

1 bar cream cheese 1/2 less fat
can of hormel chili with beans
and a bag of shredded cheese...whatever u want cheddar, mexican, cheddar-jack..whatever
1 bag tostitos

spread cc evenly in dish (cream cheese layer bottom)
open chili can...i drain a lil of the chili juice out...u dont have to if u dont want to pour chilil over cc..spread evenly over cc
then sprinkle a layer of cheese over the chili.

put in microwave for 2 1/2 mins when that is done see if cheese melted if not another min

take out and dip chips into it...so yummy and the microwave is easy...no oven

sooooooooooooooo good

Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl....
no oven and really yummy!
The recipe is on the back of the box of lipton soup mix, I think it's summer vegetable, or just vegetable...one of the yellow and green boxes, by lipton in the soup aisle...it's sooo good, really easy to make!

If you are ok with using the oven for just a few minutes then:

scallops wrapped in bacon, or water chestnuts wrapped in bacon,
same recipe for both....
1. take bacon out of packege and make 3 slices accross the strips (against the grain, cutting all at the same time), cutting each slice of bacon into a third.
2. roll the third of a piece of bacon around either a scallop or water chestnut, and secure with a toothpick, bacon should just wrap around, not really over-lap too much.
3. Marinade the wrapped treats for a few hours or even overnight in soy sauce(in the fridge or an airtight container),
4. lay out on cookie sheet, and bake in over for about 15-20 minutes at 350....then serve hot!!!
SOOO GOOD!!!!!
