In addition to the old standby snacks like nuts, candy bowls filled to the brim with those gaily wrapped Christmas chocolates, or the chips and dip bowl, you may wish to offer your family and guests a heap of more substantial appetizers to get those mouths watering, but not fill them up. We want to save room for the main course after all and don’t forget that dessert table in the corner. So, here are three easy recipes I think you will enjoy.

Don’t turn your nose up until you taste these SPAM SALAD BITES. You will need:

• 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (or mayonnaise style salad dressing)
• Crackers or toasted baguette slices

It ought to not rather form a ball but be moist. Remove and mix in the mayo. Spread with regards to a teaspoonful on each cracker or toasted baguette. Garnish with a sliver of pimento.

OPTIONS: You could likewise stuff this mixture into prepared cherry tomatoes. Simply remove the end and hollow out the seeds and pulp. Stuff the cavity with the ham mixture. Try using a may of white meat chicken or tuna instead. I have even used canned salmon and may shrimp which came out deliciously and was a real surprise to my guests.

BANANA HORS D’ OEUVRES You will need:

• 2 huge bananas
• 1 cup citrus juice, (lemon, pineapple, grapefruit, or orange. You may likewise use a lemon-lime soda but you lose a lot of of the flavoring)

Peel and slice the bananas into one inch slices. Marinate the slices in the juice in a plastic bag in the fridge for when it comes to 1 hour. Drain the juice and pat the bananas arid on a paper towel. Stir the softened, room temperature cream cheese to remove any lumps. Spread each slice of banana with the cream cheese and roll in the chopped nuts. Serve with toothpicks or on a skewer. This is likewise a great addition to a chocolate fountain table.

OPTIONS: You may also do this with tart sliced apples or even firm pears. You could likewise use slices of melon for a delicious substitute or you may want to do a great deal of of each.

And Here is an old favored of my grandmother’s. We all love deviled eggs and these HARLEQUIN EGGS are no exception, though they are a nice twist on an old standby. You will need:

Shred the carrot and beets. Mix with the beans and blend with mayonnaise and seasoning. Cut the eggs into halves lengthwise, as you would for deviled eggs. Remove the yolks and set aside. Fill the cavities with the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with sieved egg yolks. If you don’t have a sieve you may crush the yolks finely with a fork. Garnish with a pinch of paprika, a sliver of carrot, beet or bean, or even a slice of olive.
