Menu planning, cooking, and setting the table/ serveware are my favorite parts of hosting! Then the people show up :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413620 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 07:57:14 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2413620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a suggestion, I just want to say that u always want to go to your house when you make menu posts lol you seem like an awesome hostess! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413617 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 07:54:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2413617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the input!</p> <p>I settled on:</p> <p>Endive boat salad- using pistachios I already have, and ruby red grapefruit for the contrasting color the recipe pic shows since my grocery store only has navel oranges.</p> <p>Prosciutto &amp; Melon following this recipe<br /> <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/melon-and-prosciutto-with-balsamic-vinegar-and-mint-14665" rel="nofollow">http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/melon-and-prosciutto-with-balsamic-vinegar-and-mint-14665</a></p> <p>Shrimp Scampi w/ Linguini (Mr. Lime's 11th hour request)</p> <p>Cupcakes (caramel buttercream &amp; candied nuts) and Dulce de Leche ice cream and I picked up some caramel sauce to drizzle on the plate.</p> <p>I still have to pick up the cupcakes after work and perhaps I'll get something else. The apps seem nice and light. Maybe I'll get some crusty bread and bruschetta to serve during the entrée, which will add some color to the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413573 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 02:41:40 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2413573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: no suggestions as you all are outta my league with cooking!

Super simple.</p> <p>Smoked salmon dip (just buy it and garnish the top with something) with buttery Breton crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413369 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 20:20:41 +0000 JerricaBenton 2413369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: it is really pretty! And I chop everything early and then you can assemble them and refrigerate for a few hours before you serve them. I just drizzle the dressing last thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413346 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:46:45 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2413346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was something veggie based like caprese salad or skewers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413334 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:37:30 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2413334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: that's easy enough and would be new!</p> <p>@rattles: HB recommends TJ store products all the time. I have to locate my local Trader Joe and see what all the fuss is about!</p> <p>@JerricaBenton: That's really pretty. Maybe I'll make three things.</p> <p>I ordered the cupcakes and they just got fancier...caramel infused in the frosting with candied walnuts or pecans I forget and sprinkled with sea salt. I'm having the grocery put a glob of blue dyed frosting in the middle for a fun reveal for my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413330 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:33:13 +0000 HLK208 2413330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Artichoke/spinach dip with baguette </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413312 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:19:51 +0000 SweetCaroline 2413312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the cheese plate or pepper jelly and cream cheese. For the latter, you literally spread cream cheese on a plate (or leave it in a brick!) and pour pepper jelly on top! Serve with crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413311 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:19:49 +0000 JerricaBenton 2413311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my fave winter salad/appy. </p> <p><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2014/12/endives-with-oranges-and-almonds/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2014/12/endives-with-oranges-and-almonds/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413305 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:15:08 +0000 rattles 2413305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prosciutto and melon?<br /> TJ's stuffed mushrooms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-good-munchie-appetizer-to-go-with#post-2413299 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:09:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2413299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: there will be wine!
