Mini quiches are great!





I like bacon, swiss cheese, and onion quiches the best. Just saute an onion and chopped bacon until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender. Cool the mixture. Beat 6 eggs with a little half and half. Season with salt and pepper, dried herbs of your choice, and a splash of worcestshire sauce (trust me...it's delish). If your eggs aren't as creamy as you like, add a little sour cream. Stir in the cooled bacon and onions, shredded swiss cheese, and a little parmesan. Meanwhile, grease or spray a mini muffin pan. Placed a small round cracker in the bottom of each cup. Pour the egg mixture over the ';crusts';. Bake at 350 until the eggs are set. If you can't find any crackers small enough, crush some crackers (your choice) and mix with a little melted butter. Press a little into each mini muffin cup to form a crust. Pour the egg mixture as usual and bake.





Good luck!
A really good finger food with lots of taste but not the quickest to make, are the ham/cream cheese/pickle rolls. Take a slice of lunchmeat ham, dab dry w/a paper towel, spread softened cr. cheese over one side. Dab a dill pickle spear to dry, place on ham slice and roll up. Slice into bite sized pieces. There are many variations for this recipe, but it is a big hit whenever I take it anywhere.
Buy a can of mexican tamales and a pound of cheap bacon. Cut the bacon strips into thirds or fourths, depending on the length of the bacon. Cut the tamales into thirds or fourths. Wrap each tamale piece in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. The tamale pieces should not protrude beyond the width of the bacon. Put on a broiler pan and into the oven set at 350 degrees. After 6 minutes or so, turn the tamales over and cook another 3 or 4 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Oven temp. may vary, so check often after turning the tamales over the first time, to avoid burning the bacon. Serve while hot.
Savoury Bread Cases.





These are really easy to make and always go down a treat at a party or pot luck dinner.





Get a muffin tin and line with buttered slices of bread.


Fill the bread cases with a filling of your choice and bake in the oven until set.





You could use all sorts of fillings eg:





bacon and egg


chicken, corn and egg


prawns, crab sticks and white sauce





go wild!
Ants on a Log


(kids love these)





Stalk(s) of celery, leaves removed


Peanut butter


Raisins





Cut stalks into 2 inch pieces. Spread peanut butter into the groove of each celery piece. Stick 2 raisins on top of the peanut butter of each piece.


Serve

~cook the pasta in a pot.


~Shred the chicken off the bone and heat it in a pan with some of the veggies like the mushrooms and whatever needs to be cooked.


~When the pasta is ready put all the veggies in a pot and warm it with the pasta sauce and add pasta and toss.
