Neighborhood party for 12 women. Need variety of appetizers and drinks. Want to be best. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Wine is always good. Get a couple of bottles, some red and some white. If you don't want alcohol, you can get various juices, sparkling water, of course water, and/or tea. Cheese and crackers is easy and always delicious. You could also get some olives to put on the side. Nuts are also a good little snack. Cheese straws are good and easy. Chips and salsa, deviled eggs, and some fruit are all good easy/simple things. Good luck!

Wine is always good

Answer 3

For appetizers try some hummus, (chick pea, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil pureed into a dip) and baba ganoush (roasted eggplant & garlic pureed into a dip), served with pita bread triangles. To go with a Middle Eastern theme, you could serve falafel in bite size pieces, along with a nice cucumber and yogurt salad. For dessert, a nice sweet and cardamom spiced tea, served with baklava or mahmoul cookies.

Answer 4

Have a few blenders out on the counter:  Margarita mixer in one (I, personally, love mango) ...  maybe pina-colada in the other;  You can buy a TGIFriday's Mudslide in a big bottle that's wonderful!  Put that on the blender with ice......

Cover a brie with some layers of well-buttered filo dough and bake it ......   Make some miniature cream puffs and fill with egg salad (1 bite sized) ....   Fill hollowed-out cherry tomatoes with shrimp salad  ...   Fruit platter with dip (orange or lemon yogurt, stirred well with a little brandy)  ...  Chocolate fondue with fruit, ladyfingers, marshmellows  ...   A softened 8-oz. cream cheese with a cheap jar of caviar over the top; crackers to spread it on ......   Chocolate covered strawberries; brownies in individual cupcake papers;  individual cherry cheesecakes (made in cupcake papers, muffin tin, with a vanilla wafer as the crust)

Answer 5

This is one of my favorite recipe when hosting a female bond party. It's easy, low in costs, healthy & super delicious.

1) Buy a bunch of Zucchini/eggplants

2) Eggs (Beaten)

3) Parmesean cheese

4) flour

5) Japanese (Bread Crumbs- can be purchased in most asian super market)

6) Spaghetti sauce/Marinara Sauce (heat for dipping)

Prep work:

a) Beat eggs

b) mix bread crumbs & Parmesean cheese together.  The porition should be 1/3 Parmesean cheese & 2/3 bread crumbs and add some ground black pepper.

Instruction:

Slice Zucchini/eggplants in big, long, and thin slices. Dip it into flour and shake the excess flour out then dip it into the beaten eggs.  Immediately dip it into the Parmesean & bread crumb mix and you can either pan fry / deep fry it until golden yellow.  Drained the oil.  This can be served right away with spaghetti/marinara sauce.  

You can make a whole batch of this w/o costing you a fortune.  Have fun!

Answer 6

Oh this will be fun for you. Im assuming that alchol will be fine to have and so let me tell you the absolute best drink that is easy is berry sangria. Relatively cheap and is a sure hit everytime! Real easy go to Olive Garden and at the bar ask for some sangria mix they sell the best.Then just mix it with cheap red table wine. Slice some lemons,limes,and oranges and put in the picher. Its eye catchy and different. And last night I made a dip that was the hit of the night. Its a blt dip and is so easy you need:

hellmans mayo

sour cream

package of bacon

2 big tomatos the more red the better

take the sour cream put in mixing bowl, use the sour cream contaner fill with mayo,mix together peel toms., chop and add. Cook bacon take off excess grease crumble and add. Mix together add salt and pepper to taste. Put in fridge few hours and prepare to serve a room full of compliments! Good luck to you with your party hope I could help.
