We will have Christmas dinner later than normal this year so I want to have out some appetizers for snacking around lunchtime. Suggestions?
-
Meatballs for sure! I saw a super cute idea on pinterest where you use a star shaped cookie cutter and use it on puff pastry and then you can skewer a meatball with a star, and it was so cute
I also came across these Korean Beef Bites that look GREAT: http://magnoliadays.com/2013/korean-beef-bites/
Bruschetta, if you can get ahold of good tomatoes. Just sounds good/fresh to me right now.
I made some stupid good brie bites a few weeks ago--phyllo cup pastry, premade in the frozen section, a dollop of strawberry jalapeno jam, and a cube of brie. BAked for 8 min.
we always have deviled eggs in DH's family!

I adore bacon wrapped dates.

pioneer woman's jalapeno poppers! not too spicy, super delicious and can be made days ahead!

@looch: I second the bacon wrapped dates - with a little goat cheese in the center - yum!
My family always does sausage balls with cheese and Bisquick. 3 cups Bisquick mixed with 1 lb shredded cheddar and 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage. Roll into 1" balls and bake at 350 degF.

@mediagirl: I had these (without the pecans) at a bbq over the summer and they were amazing! I think they'd be great for a holiday app.

my favorites:
bacon wrapped little smokies (sprinkle some brown sugar on top to crystalize)Meat & cheese plate
meatballs in sweet chili sauce (so good)
shrimp cocktail

simple but I love veggies and dip!
Also, spinach artichoke dip - yum!
-
Deviled eggs, smoked salmon dip with ritz crackers, spinach artichoke dip, cheese plate, and buffalo pierogies (toss frozen pierogies in franks red hot and melted butter and bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing).

Summer sausage, cheese, and crackers

Sausage cheese balls!
