This is soooo cheating but soooo good, just don't tell people how you made the sauce....
Buy some frozen meatballs and put in a slow cooker with a bottle of Welch's Grape Jelly and a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce, this makes a fantastic sweet and sour meat ball...I know the combo sounds gross at first but it cooks into the most awesome sauce...seriously, people ask me to bring this to parties far and wide...
You could also serve a purchased cheeseball or two, with some veggies and crackers...
Maybe a shrimp ring, you can get good one for like 10 dollars or fair ones for like 3 Dollars from M&M Meats
M&M has some frozen appetizers that are pretty darn good, try their miniature eggrolls with some plum sauce...
Chex party mix is good and there are two dozen different recipes for it at Betty Crocker. Com
Cookies or Two Bite brownies or blondies are fun...also mini pumpkin or lemon tarts are fun...you can buy these premade at most supermarkets or make them yourself with mini muffin tins and/or mini tart shells...
serve some cheeses and fresh fruit or bowls of nuts...
serve some low key wine or a non alcoholic punch, your choice...
I have been favoring the Aussie wines like Wolf Blass or The Little Penguin lately, these are inexpensive and good and not as "done to death" as some of the California wines...
These are a lot of ideas but entertaining is what I do at this time of year...

Very simple Different and one of the best selling catering tems at my restaurant. Buy frozen small meatballs and put them in a pot with 2 cups of chili sauce and 2 cups of orange marmalade. Simmer it until the meatballs are heated all the way through.

2 quick, easy, and deliscious finger foods:
1 can pizza crust (refridgerated kind)
1 cup shredded cheese-your choice
pizza toppings of your choice, like mushrooms, black or green olives, pepperoni, diced ham, sausauge, etc.
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 small jar pizza sauce
Unroll the pizza crust and layer with sauce, parmesan, toppings and then cheese. Roll it back up and slice into 1/2 inch slices, place on cookie sheet and bake according to the pizza crust directions. Makes individual pinwheel shappped mini pizzas!
2 cans cressant rolls
1 pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. unsweetened orange flavored Kool-aid
1 small can crushed pineapple-drained
Mix cream cheese, kool-aid, and pineapple. Unroll cressants, don't tear them at perforations, spread with mix. Reroll, slice into 1/2 inch rolls and cook according to roll directions. Great dessert!
