Answer 2

I KNOW THE FEELING.. EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE AN EXCITING AND DIFFERENT PARTY...TRY THESE WITH YOUR CRACKERS..

Bacon, cut in half
Brown sugar
Waferly crackers

Wrap bacon around crackers. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Broil until bacon is done, BE CAREFUL!! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BURN THE CRACKERS IN THE BROILER. I SUGGEST LIGHTLY PAN COOKING THE BACON FIRST.

OR

No kidding - this is the best dip ever! So easy to make and is from Paula Deen - no less! I made this for my family over Christmas and they swear it tastes just like a real BLT sandwich. One tip, it is easier to serve this if you layer in a casserole dish rather than a bowl.

BLT Dip
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 large vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 pound lean bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Sea salt bagel chips

Combine the mayonnaise and sour cream in a small bowl with a snap-on lid. When well mixed, refrigerate until serving time. When ready to serve, place the mayonnaise mixture in a large serving bowl. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes and bacon. Serve with sea salt bagel chips.

Answer 4

1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonaise to bind
2 cups of fresh parmesan cheese

Answer 5

how about an old fashioned cheese ball? there are ton's of recipes, they are all pretty easy and require few ingredients, and what's not to love about cheese rolled in nuts? besides, they kind of fell out of fashion for a while, so they would be "new" now.

try taking an 8 oz package of cream cheese (softened), a can of chopped pineapple (thoroughly drained - put in cheese cloth & sqeeze out all liquid), 3 green onions (or scallions) finely chopped, and a teaspoon garlic powder, mix together well, allow to firm up a little in fridge, roll into a ball & then roll in chopped pecans or almonds. everyone loves this recipie of my mom's, and it is sooooooo simple!

For a new years party a few years ago, i made mini homemade baked eggrolls that were awesome. Along with it i wrapped some shredded beef bbq (not a lot of sauce) in some wontons, went over pretty well

"Really" Onion Dip From Food Network Kitchens

3 medium onions, 2 left in their skins, and 1 peeled
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, as needed
2 scallions (white and green), minced
Serving Suggestions: Lots of your favorite potato chips

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a roasting pan, rub the 2 onions in their skins with the 2 tablespoons oil. Bake until squishy soft, turning them once, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. Peel the onions and set aside.
Meanwhile, finely dice the remaining onion. Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 cup oil and heat until hot. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 18 minutes more. Strain the onions through a sieve over a bowl. Transfer the onions to a paper towel-lined plate and spread them into a single layer. Reserve 1/4 cup of the onion oil and let it cool completely. (Reserve the remaining oil for dressings or marinades.)
Puree the roasted onions in a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and salt, and pulse until smooth. While the motor is running, drizzle in the 1/4 cup of reserved onion oil until incorporated. Season with pepper and hot sauce, to taste. Transfer the onion dip to a serving bowl and stir in the scallion. Refrigerate until very thick, about 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve top with the fried onions. Serve with chips.
