Need to make appetizers for a high school graduation party. Any good ideas or recipes?

Here are easy tasty appetizers


1)Veggies and dip


celery, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes,


broccoli,green or red or yellow sweet pepper slices etc.


2)Hollowed out crusty Italian bread with a dip poured inside the space use the removed bread(to make the hollow container) cut bite sized pieces for dipping. See recipe that follows below.


3)crackers with cheese tray


4)fresh fruit cut up and placed nicely on a tray


5)chopped liver and crackers


SPINACH DIP


1 block (8 oz.) of cream cheese


8 oz. (2 cups) bag of shredded cheddar cheese or cheddar/mozzarella cheese mix


1 frozen box of chopped spinach


1 medium tomato


1 small onion (white, yellow or red)


Let the spinach thaw out and chop up the tomato and onion.


Put all the food ingredients in the big bowl except the chips, stir to mix. Heat in microwave on medium to medium-high heat until cheese is all melted, about 6-8 minutes. Stir about halfway through cooking. After all heated and cheese is all melted, stir to mix everything together and dip!


One creative option - hollow out a loaf of crusty Italian bread and scoop the dip into the hollowed out crust!


This dip is also great in a low fat variety, using part-skim cheddar cheese and fat free cream cheese. It honestly tastes ALMOST as good with like 80% less fat and one half the calories as the regular version.Need to make appetizers for a high school graduation party. Any good ideas or recipes?

You need a veggie plate and dip.


You need a fruit plate and dip.


ham and cheese platter with small rolls.
An easy appetizer that I love is Bagel bites, and you can make them vegetarian as well, if you like. Just get some bagesl, sliced in half and spread on tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, whatevr toppings you like. Put them into a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes and they are good to go. Then take a pizza cutter and cut once up, and once across. You get 4 slices of bagel bit per half.
If you don't feel like cooking a lot or don't have the time you could always go to a grocery store and get a meat and cheese tray, veggie tray, or a fruit tray. You could also make pigs in a blanket, bring chips and make a dip, or make mini sandwiches. Good luck! Hope I helped you out.

Go to a deli and get thin sliced ham,spread cream cheese on it and then roll scallions pickles or whatever you like olives(though a little hard to work with) roll them up.put them in fridge to coll and abouot a hour or so before party slice and a toothpick and you have a hampinwheel. Very tasty.
