RE: [lets_get_cooking] New Appetizer Ideas Needed....Pretty Please!

[Lisa Anders]

Hi Candy,   Here are a few ideas hopefully for something a little different.   Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies 1-1/2 Cups flour 1 Cup sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg **Sift together above ingredients into bowl.   3/4 Cup margarine **Cut in until crumbly.   1 egg, beaten 1 cup mashed bananas 1-3/4 quick oatmeal 3/4 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped nuts **Add, mixing well   Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.  Bake 350º for 8-10 minutes. Makes about 5-6 dozen   Lemon Whippersnaps 18 oz lemon cake mix 2 cups cool whip 1 egg, beaten ** Mix together.  Drop from spoon into powdered sugar and roll to coat. Place on greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350º for about 10 minutes.  Makes about 3 dozen.  If you whipped topping doesn't make your batter stiff you can add some flour to stiffen it up.     Cucumber Spread Sandwiches 8 oz cream cheese, softened **Beat until creamy   1 medium cucumber, finely chopped 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 drops hot pepper sauce dash of salt a little mayo to mix **I chop my cucumber and onion in my little Black & Decker chopped.  It makes it very fine.  Stir together with enough mayo to make desired spreading consistency. Spread on thinly sliced bread without crusts.     Italian TV Mix 2 cups peanuts 2 cups chow mein noodles 2 cups Corn Chex 2 cups pretzel **Mix together in large glass bow.  Set aside.   1/4 cup butter 2 tbsp dry spaghetti sauce mix **Combine in glass measuring cup.  Microwave on high for 45 seconds.  Pour over mixture in bowl and toss until evenly mixed.  Microwave at 30% power for 7-8 minutes until toasted and heated through, stirring twice during cooking.   2 tbsp Parmesan cheese 1 tsp Italian seasoning ** Sprinkle over mixture.  Cool.  Store in air tight container.   Makes about 8 cups   I have more if you need.  Just let me know in more detail what you are looking for.   Lisa Union Bridge, MD       LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN GET COOKING....
