Question

PLEASE HELP. I NEED SOME RECIPES FOR QUICK AND EASY FINGER FOODS FOR MY FRIENDS WEDDING RECEPTION. NOT ONLY IS IT ON THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON, MY PARENTS WILL BE IN TOWN FROM OHIO VISITING US FOR 2 WEEKS. I NEED TO DO THANKSGIVING DINNER PLUS FINGER FOODS. SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP.

Answer 1

Take soft cream cheese, on top of this put pepper jelly, and wheat thins placed around the dish, not only real good, but a pretty dish. The pepper jelly I use, I made, it is green, but can buy in grocery stores, in red color. I also made some yellow color, used food coloring, it never changes the taste.

Answer 2

This is soooooo easy:
Combine 1 jar of grape jelly and 1 jar of chili sauce (This comes in a jar like ketchup NOT hot dog chili!)
Stir well.
Add several packages of Little Smokies (small smoked sausages)
Heat thoroughly
Yummy!
But are you sure you have to cook Thanksgiving dinner?????
Maybe you can do dinner on the weekend before or after. I don't know about you, but I could never fix food for a wedding reception and cook TG dinner on the same day!!
You can also make little pumpkin tarts, a bit more work involved.
Buy tiny tart shells already made. Cream cheese and sugar mixture in the bottom, canned pumpkin & Coolwhip mixture on top. Top w whipped topping and sprinkle w cinnimon. They are pretty and very fall looking.
Also, don't forget to check Martha Stewart's websit or magazine.

Answer 3

A wedding on Thanksgiving? A day when people like to be with their families, eat turkey, relax and the guys watch football? The anniversary is not going to have it's own special day? So later when they have kids and such ddoing the traditional thanksgiving a romantic celebration for the anniversary is out the window. I suppose its arranged at this point. I just can't believe that some people don't think things through. Just a thought. Anyway keep it simple as its thanksgiving. Deviled eggs, sausage rolls, etc. always go over.

Answer 4

Since you've already got lots of great ideas for reception food, I'll throw this out-- why don't you have a nice dinner out with your parents instead of cooking it yourself. Or, have a brunch Thanksgiving meal late morning-midday. You could incorporate some traditional Thanksgiving components into the meal-- like turkey sausage (the gourmet/specialty kind, not the kind people get because it's healthier), pumpkin bread (maybe even make french toast with it), maybe a cranberry cocktail if you're drinkers.

Good luck. It sounds like a busy and potentially very fun day.

Answer 5

whats the budget for this reception. I just came from a really nice wedding where they had like a tea party finger food theme for the reception. They had a bunch of cold salads, shrimp cocktail and all these things made with Filo dough. They had cheese balls, crab puffs, pigs in a blanket, a huge fresh fruit display pineapple chunks, mango slivers, chocolate covered strawberries, seasonal fruits and even a little filo cups with a fruit compote and mini chocolate teramisu.

Answer 6

Here are a couple of my family's favorites:

Chicken/Bacon Wraps

Buy the fajita meat that comes prepackaged. Cut off excess fat, and cut into bite size pieces (raw). Cut a package of bacon in half. Wrap each bite of chicken with half a strip of bacon, and one almond. Bake for one hour on 350. It may smoke a lot, so be prepared. Serve with a honey mustard.

Cream Cheese Dip

Buy a stick of cream cheese. (looks more like a block really). Cut in half length wise, and then cut across making several pats of cream cheese. Pour over this half a cup each of worcestire sauce and soy sauce. Top with green onion. Serve with Triscuits.

Salmon Wheels
Buy smoked salmon. Smear cream cheese and roll up. cut into bite size wheels and serve just like that or with mini bagels.

Stuffed Jalapenos or Mushrooms

Cut up bacon into tiny slices and fry up, drain.. mix with a cup of mayo and a package of shredded cheddar cheese, and a can of water chestnuts. Buy a can of jalapenos. Stuff jalapenos with mixture and serve.

Another Stuffing

Buy frozen cocktail shrimp. Thaw and mix with cream cheese, green onion, a package of hidden valley ranch dressing MIX.. not the liquid. It's okay to shred up the shrimp. Stuff this mixture in either jalapenos or mushroom caps and heat in oven til warm.

Spinach Dip served in King's Hawaiian Round Bread is awesome and easy. The recipe is on the package of Knorr's Vegetable Soup.

Hope some of that helps!

Answer 7

Just bring a bunch of Slim Jims, that'll teach these idiots not to ruin your Thanksgiving Day again

Answer 8

i think turkey salad made as you make chicken salad with cranberry jelly on bite size bread: spiced ham on rye and cut small. miniature rolls and deviled eggs and relishes and fruit on a pic and a variety of cheeses

Answer 9

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen much too soon. Some are rocks, many are bad. Some of the fruit and vegetables are typical right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Answer 10

cut up in small pieces, red peppers, green peppers, corn if u want, and chicken pieces cubed. cook that in oil w. salt and pepper...stuff that in puff pastry shells. so easy and quick to do.
