Answer 3

Appetizers? Side dishes? Meat?

For Christmas we have surf & turf: Filet mignon and colossal baked, stuffed shrimp, baked, stuffed potatoes, broccoli & cauliflower in a cheese sauce, garlic bread and a salad.

But the eve of Christmas Eve is my big night... have lots of friends over. I make spinach Lasagna rolls. I make my homemade spaghetti sauce - 2 batches: 1 meatless, another with Ital. sausage & meatballs. My Lasagna rolls are all the same ingredients, including grated mozzarella, that are layered in a regular lasagna dish (with chopped spinach) only spread on individual lasagna noodles, rolled jellyroll style, and put in the lasagna pan. A little sauce in the bottom, then sauce on top & slices of mozzarella cheese. Since my daughter is a vegetarian, I make it with the meatless sauce, and serve a bowl of each sauce on the side. The rolls are actually fun to make, and easy. And this dish, although all the same ingredients as the traditional lasagna, doesn't "eat" up the sauce like the traditional, and no leaky sauce over the top of the pan because I layered it too high.

Here's a super simple, but always a hit, cheese log I make for an appetizer with crackers:

CHEESE LOG
This is a fun one, and the ingredients will surprise you. Don’t let this simple cheese fool you though. Once the seasonings are mixed in and the log is rolled in a combination of luscious, flavorful seasonings, your family or guests will think it’s a gourmet cheese. I guarantee you they would never guess what it really is, and will be asking you for the recipe. This recipe calls for paprika. I recommend a good sweet Hungarian paprika for better flavor. I use it whenever I need paprika for anything, even if it’s just a garnish.

❖ 16 oz. pkg. Velveeta Cheese (makes 2 logs)
❖ 2 tbsp garlic powder (or to taste)
❖ ½ cup chopped walnuts
❖ Equal parts:
❖ paprika
❖ nutmeg
❖ chili powder

- Bring the cheese to room temperature. In a small bowl put cheese and add garlic powder and chopped walnuts. Mix well.
- divide mixture in half and shape each into approximately 6” logs
- mix paprika, nutmeg & chili powder together and place on waxed paper.
- roll each log in spice mixture, making sure to cover completely.
- wrap each log in plastic wrap, then in foil and refrigerate.
- take cheese log(s) out about ½ hour before serving.

Serve as a spread with a nice crackers, or just good ol’ Ritz crackers.

Another appetizer I make for a larger group is a hot appetizer:

COCKTAIL MEATBALLS & HOTDOGS
Ingredients
Chafing dish & sterno
toothpicks

lg. pkg (or 2 pkgs) hotdogs* (don’t use the kind that plump when ya cook ‘em!)
Meatballs
2-3 lbs. gr. beef
2 tsp fresh garlic – crushed
salt & pepper
2 eggs (1 egg/lb. of gr. beef)
1 tbs. parsley

Sauce
2/3 to 1 cup grape jelly
2 lg. bottles barbecue sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
sm. can tomato sauce (Optional)
2 tbs garlic powder
2-3 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
water if desired for volume and desired thickness

Directions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, mix all sauce ingredients
2. In large bowl, mix all ingredients for meatballs thoroughly with hands
3. Roll mixture into approx. 1” balls
4. Add meatballs and hot dog pcs. to sauce and cover
5. Cook on low heat (light boil) for a minimum of 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
6. Keep warm until ready to serve. Place in chafing dish and keep warm with sterno
7. Place on table with container of toothpicks and cocktail napkins and small plates

* You could certainly use cocktail franks for this recipe, but they are MUCH more expensive than cutting up a few pkgs. of hot dogs.
* If you don't have a chafing dish, just make sure you serve this dish hot in an attractive serving piece/bowl.
