Need a party recipe!

[katepoet]

I am invited to a Christmas party next week - bring a dish to pass. You all know I can't eat it - whatever I bring - but what should it be? I think it will be so crowded that finger food of some kind will be best. I need something simple but interesting or seasonal to make. Please give me some good ideas! (It's also BYOB so I'll bring a water bottle! lol)

Just a thought here. No Bake cookies..........

Recipe

In sauce pan bring to boil 1 stick margerine, 4 Tblsp Cocoa, 1/2 cup milk and
2 cups sugar. Bring to boil. Turn off and add 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Mix till peanut butter is melted. Then add 3 cups of quick oats.
Stir until well blended. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper.

Just an idea for a dessert.

Hope you have a great time.

I love those cookies! I haven't made them in such a long time...mostly because I can't stop eating them. So easy and really good!

This is really yummy, easy to prepare, and eat....


Cool Cucumber Sandwhiches

1 baguette loaf of bread, sliced about 1/2 inch thick

1 pkg. Philly cream cheese, softened to room temp.

1 pkg. Good seasonings Italian dressing mix

dill weed - the dried type in a jar you can sprinkle

paprika - the dried type in a jar you can sprinkle

1 english cucumber - this is the seedless type

Toast bread slices in oven on a cookie sheet till lightly brown or crisp

In a bowl mix the cream cheese w/ salad dressing packet. Mix well. Slice the cucumber and set aside.

Spread cream cheese mixture on each sliced of toasted bread. Top each with a slice of cucumber. Sprinkle with dill (quite a bit of it) and a little paprika just for color.

Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yum! I love no-bake cookies!!! I add coconut and pecans to mine too.

I would take Spinach dip. I always get raves when I take it (actually I'm EXPECTED to take it!!)

1 pkg. Lipton Vegetable Soup Mix (or Knorr's Vegetable soup mix)
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup Mayonaise (not Miracle Whip or Salad dressing)
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, chill for 2 hours

Serve with crackers or, my favorite, Kings Hawaiian Bread torn into small chunks.
Or if you want to get fancy you can take the Hawaiian Bread and cut the top off and hollow it out and serve the dip inside the bread. Take what you carved out and tear into chunks and serve from a bowl. This is very good!!!!

I am going to try to make them all to bring - they are too good to choose between.

Can the cookies be made with butter or only margarine? Or will oil work? (Just thinking about ingredients we always have in the house.)
