Let's talk Hors D'oeurves!  Parties abound and I have to say that one of my favorite things at these parties is to pop some delicious Hors D'oeurves in my mouth!   Of course, it can be a bit less fun if you are the one preparing these tasty treats.  Hopefully these 3 ideas will make your life a little easier if you are hosting a party within the next couple of weeks. 

Super Simple Smoked Salmon Treat

Ingredients:

Smoked Salmon

Cream Cheese

Dill

Capers

Shallots

Water Crackers

Caviar (optional)

So Easy and Pleasy Brie Treat

Your favorite preserve (raspberry, apricot, strawberry)

Mini and Mighty Meatballs (make a bit smaller than shown in the pic) 

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 egg

2 Tbsp. water

1/2 c. bread crumbs

1/4 c. minced onion

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

freshly grated parmesan cheese

How To:

Preheat 350.  In bowl combine egg, water, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper.  Add ground beef, and use your hands to mix.  Form into mini-meatballs and cook 20-25 minutes until meatballs are not pink in the center.  Place toothpicks in the meatballs and serve on a platter.  Garnish with some parmesan cheese, if you like.

Enjoy these, just as much as you enjoyed my silly names!
