I haven't been here lately. My husband has been on vacation, the kids are home from school for the Christmas holidays and my normal routine has been scattered to the winds. Tonight we are having a few of "the guys" over to watch a football game. I have made a bunch of appetizers to feed them.
The mini quiches (yes, real men eat quiche) are 5 eggs, 1/2 cup cream (or evaporated milk), 1/2 c shredded cheese and 2 ounces finely chopped ham. Mix well and pour into well greased and floured muffin or mini muffin pans. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (till they start to brown and a knife in the center comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes before removing.
Cocktail weenies wrapped in crescent roll dough are pretty self explanatory. Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, barbecue sauce or honey mustard.
I am also serving chicken bites. I am starting with frozen chicken nuggets, prepared according to the package instructions. I have made a sauce with a couple tablespoons of honey, a tablespoon butter (melted) and a cup (or so) of your favorite barbecue sauce, combine in a pan over medium heat to a boil, then toss the chicken in the sauce. For the hot sauce, I have combined (in a pan over medium heat) a tablespoon of butter, a dash of garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and red and black pepper, a 1/2 c honey and a bottle of hot sauce and bring to a boil, toss with the chicken.
Enjoy the game!
