OK girls!!! looking for good appetizer receipes!!

[blowry]

My kids are coming over for Christmas Eve....I am having appetizers...I am already making a re-fried bean dip heated (didn't think I would EVER eat re-fried beans but in this dip they are yummy!) and stuffed mushrooms...Instead of the traditional white cap mushrooms I am going to stuff Portabello mushrooms...I don't know what to use as a topping for them ....any suggestions?

They built this new grocery store not long ago (HEB Plus). It's WONDERFUL and so HUGE! Anyway, they have "cooking shows" everywhere throughout the store. I was watching one and it tastes HEAVENLY! It cost about $18 to make but well worth it.

CRAB AND SHRIMP BREAD
Prep time: 5 min
Bake time: 10 min

1 loaf Country French Artisan bread (thawed)
2 cans Chicken of the Sea Crabmeat
2 cans Chicken of the Sea Medium Shrimp
1/4 Mayonnaise
1/4 Cup Tapenade Antipasto Artichoke
2 Cups Shredded Italian Cheese

1) Preheat oven to broil. Split loaf of bread lengthwise and place on baking sheet
2) In a bowl, combine crabmeat, shrimp, mayonnaise and artichoke tapenade. mix gently with spoon.
3) Divide mixture in half and spread evenly over each half of loaf
4) Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over each half
5) Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice into 1 inch strips.

Stuffed mushrooms are so good, they do have minced clams in the ones I make.

Spinach dip is always good to take somewhere. I get in trouble if I don't bring it. I follow the recipe on the back of the Lipton Vegetable soup mix and I add a bunch of chopped up green onions to it. You can serve it with crackers or, I prefer, King's Hawaiian bread. If you get the bread in a big round loaf you can hollow it out and serve it in there with the extra bread cut up in pieces to go with it. It's very easy to make and everyone loves it!!!

You make spinach dip with the frozen kind, which is safe. I am sure the other kind is safe now, too, but the frozen kind has always been safe.

yeah it's safe now. Spinach dip is SO good! You can pull a 'managers special' while making it which is the best thing about it. Throw in a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. It always tastes good!
