What are some easy appetizers I could make for an outdoor party the night before? Any ideas are appreciated!?

Answer 1

There are lots of different things you can you...just depends on how much work you want to put in to it;

Chips & Dip
Veggies & Dip
Cheese & Crackers
Pigs'n a Blanket
Spinanch Dip & Cracker
Fruit Bowl (Mixture of different fruit cut up)

Some of these you can actually buy at a grocery store and not make any of it yourself...if you want your guests to think you made it, put it in one of your own bowls or plates and get rid of the store bought containers.

Answer 2

The biggest hit at every party or shower is what we call taco or nacho dip :

cream cheese and sour cream mixed together - Spread this onto the bottom of a 8' x 8' plate or whatever you are using

add a layer of mild salsa sauce

next sprinkle diced tomatoes and onions on top of that and if you like some finely shredded lettuce

at the very top add your favorite cheese - we usually use orange cheddar or marble cheese grated ( actually I always buy the mixed bags of pre- shredded cheeses, now that I discovered those its sooooo much quicker to make

Now just put this mixture in the fridge, when youre ready to serve, just put out some cute baskets or bowls of nacho chips and you wont believe how good this is!!!! Be prepared to make this all the time though because the addiction factor is extremely high!!!!!

Slice into bite sized pieces and stick a toothpick in each one so that they don't unroll.
Voila! Finger food.
