Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-ideas-for-pot-luck#post-1492274 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:12:56 +0000 gingerbebe 1492274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make Buffalo Pierogies. Toss a box of frozen pierogies (I use potato and onion) with melted butter and Frank's Red Hot sauce and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes. Usually 2 boxes makes enough for a potluck contribution and its "different." They taste fine at room temp.</p> <p>Similarly, frozen potstickers or egg rolls are always a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-ideas-for-pot-luck#post-1492077 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:06:38 +0000 skipper2010 1492077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great ideas! </p> <p>@Beyond2: I've never had stuffed celery, but it sounds nice and easy! </p> <p>@rahlyrah: Hmm fruit skewers...I forgot about those! </p> <p>@hotchildinthecity: That sounds really good, but what on earth are pea shoots and where do you get them?! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-ideas-for-pot-luck#post-1491464 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:31:14 +0000 SupernovaJ 1491464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>chorizo stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. can be served room temp. :p</p> <p>ingredients:<br /> - 12 medjool dates<br /> - 1 good quality mexican chorizo<br /> - smoked bacon, 6 slices cut in half<br /> - toothpicks<br /> - your favorite tomato sauce<br /> - a few basil leaves, chiffonade</p> <p>directions:<br /> - preheat oven to 375 degrees<br /> - gently remove pit from dates and a little bit of the fruit inside (so you can add more chorizo!) with a small spoon; try not to cut the date as much as possible<br /> - fill dates with chorizo, either via cutting the corner of a ziploc bag and using it as a filler or making mini balls out of the chorizo and filling the dates<br /> - wrap each date with a bacon half and secure with a toothpick<br /> - bake the dates, bacon seam down, for about 30 minutes until chorizo is cooked through and bacon is crisp<br /> - meanwhile, gently heat your favorite tomato sauce<br /> - assemble your plate with some sauce on the bottom, dates on top, and some basil chiffonade on top...enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-ideas-for-pot-luck#post-1491379 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:03:27 +0000 sandy 1491379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to make bacon wrapped almond stuffed dates - always a huge hit and you can serve warm or at room temperature.
