getting ready for my christams partyand want to try some new appetizers. Please help I carry on the family tradition of stuff I don't have to mess with much. I like to put out a buffet for grazing during the week, including cookies, pies, holiday candies, cold cuts, veggies and dip, chips, egg nog, punch, etc. Whatever looks good at the time. In the past it has included what neighbors and friends brought over or mailed. A personal favorite is pitted dates stuffed with half a pecan and then rolled in cane sugar. I also like to provide one of those expensive cured and spiral sliced hams with crackers, mustard, etc. But I cut slices up so folks don't have to mess with it much to get it on a cracker. Dawn

thanks sonya These go like hotcakes (or should I say pizza ?) when I serve them.  And the great thing is you make them ahead, then just pull them out of the freezer when ready to make! Jill Party Pizzas on Rye 1 lb. ground chuck 1 lb. mild ground sausage 1 lb. shredded Velveeta 1 tsp. dried basil 1 tsp. dried oregano 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 2 Tbs. dried parsley flakes 1-1/2 loaves party rye bread Brown beef & sausage together, stirring to break up.  Drain well.  Add cheese and stir until melted and mixed through.  Add remaining ingredients (except rye slices) until well mixed.  Spoon mixture onto rye slices (about 1 Tbs. per slice).  Place on large cookie sheets and freeze.  When ready to serve, place frozen appetizers under broiler for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.  Makes a bunch!!

getting ready for my christams partyand want to try some new appetizers. I am not a big fan of seafood, but one of my favorite appetisers is broiled scallops wrapped in bacon. Its pretty simple. You just wrap bacon around each scallop and fasten the bacon to the scallops with thoroughly wet toothpicks then broile for two or three minutes per side. Yum!
