Answer 2

These are always a hit with my family

Sausage Cheese Balls

3 cups all-purpose baking mix

4 cups KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen turkey sausage, thawed

1/2 cup milk


PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Form mixture into 1-inch balls.

PLACE on lightly greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

BAKE 23 to 25 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Serve warm.

Answer 3

Find out what type sides aren't already "taken" & go from there. Depending on who usually brings what, you could do honey glazed carrots, green bean casserole ( the recepie is in every magazine ad this time of year ) homemade coleslaw, deviled eggs, etc....Or you could go to your local bread bakery & purchase an assortment of rolls or a nice dessert ( I'm in Ga & I can purchase a nice dessert for about 10 - 12 bucks - I'm talking homemade....) Enjoy your first Christmas married....

Answer 4

I took think that a pasta dish is the safest, whether it's mac n cheese or some kind of spaghetti. I would suggest looking up some Rachael Ray recipes- you might even find something better to bring than pasta.

Answer 5

you could do a fruit type salad or say one that i always use and is a hit and easy to make is a shrimp salad. you take a box of pasta shells the little ones cook aldinta and at the same time cook your shrimp say about a half pound not real big ones now. and also have a bottle of red vinaigrette salad dressing when shrimp and pasta is done put in a bowl mix together with a few chopped onions and celery and the dressing and mix together. talk about good and easy.

Answer 6

I suggest a simple pasta dish and throw in some vegetables such as bell pepper, mushrooms and zucchini into the sauce.

Do something different with a traditional chocolate cake by doing three layers with raspberry jam in between and drizzle chocolate icing on the top and down the side.

Enjoy the festivities!

Answer 7

a pumpkin pie is always good. or you can toss a salad. very easy, just get a prepackaged bag of greens and chop some fresh veggies into it. bring along the croutons and dressing on the side and you'll have a great fresh salad

if you're going somewhere, you could ask the host/hostess if there's anything in particular they want you to bring.

Answer 8

If you want to bring an easy dessert, try this if you have Costco! Get a package of the huge eclairs from the bakery, NOT the frozen ones. Melt together equal amounts of chocolate chips and cream and a touch of vanilla. Pour over the top of each eclair as you are ready to serve them!

Answer 9

Flowers (i.e. Poinsettias) or wine. Some folks may already have an elaborately planned dinner. Bringing more food might insult the host/hostess. If it's a fancy dinner, you could bring a fancy bakery cake/dessert.

Answer 10

How about a nice cheese and cracker platter? Or with pate? Or go with simple and just bring chips and pop. Wine is good. Toss salad is easy enough. A nice macaroni salad is easy too. My mother puts crab and shrimp in hers.

Answer 11

try this... the ingredients sound odd, but it is really good...
Jello Fluff
1 regular package of jello (I prefer Cherry or Strawberry)
1/2 of a tub of cool whip
1/2 of a small tub of cottage cheese
1 cup small marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 can of fruit cocktail
mix it all together and chill
don't cook the jello, put it in dry
you can use double this recipe to use up the other half of the ingredients, but it makes a LOT.. like 4 quarts.
