Here are the recipes posted from the following thread over the past few years:
Original thread Appetizers
Mexi dip Where ever I have taken this recipe, people always want the recipe. It is a bonus that it is so easy to make.
8oz softened cream cheese
8oz shredded cheddar cheese
8oz sour cream
taco seasonings... I use between 1/2 - 3/4 of the packet
mix all together. It is easier to dip chips in if it has sat out for a bit. I serve with tortilla chips and veggies. ************************************************** ************************************************** ***** I make a shrimp spread for crackers that is so simple!
1 container chives and onions cream cheese
1 can baby shrimp
Mix together in a bowl mashing up the shrimp. Refrigerate a couple hours to blend the flavors. *******************************

I asked her for the recipe..

I make a seafood spread for crackers. I take a couple of cans of crab meat, a container of cream cheese and some seafood sauce. Mix it up with an electric mixer to taste and it's delicious. Takes all of two minutes to make. Just don't use too much of the red seafood sauce because it'll make it too spicy tasting. Just add everything to taste ************************************************** ******************************** artichoke dip
Canned artichoke hearts (1 or 2, depending on amount desired - not the marinated kind)
Mayonnaise
diced jalapenos to taste (fresh or canned)
Freshly grated parmesan
I smash the artichoke hearts with a fork, mix in enough mayo until the texture is right, add several diced jalapeno rings to taste(I just use jarred) and add a bunch of parmesan, both mixed in and again on top. It can be heated in the oven or microwaved, and served with sliced baguette, crackers, or whatever you have on hand.

I do the block of cream cheese with Jalapeno Jelly over it to serve with crackers (We like wheat thins). You can also put any gourmet jelly over it, we like ones with habanero peppers or horseradish in them.
Or tiny shrimp over the cream cheese then cocktail sauce.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 15oz. can artichoke hearts, drained well and chopped
1 can diced chilis (mild or hot)
1 can water chestnuts, drained & chopped
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup real mayo
Heat in the microwave until hot and bubbly, stirring once or twice.

Townhouse cracker spread with cream cheese and a piece of canned Salmon on top. My son sent me some really good salmon for Seattle and this idea was listed on the package. Didn't sound too good but tried it and we really like. Now buy canned red salmon and fix it often for a quick lunch with raw veggies.

These are supposed to be appetizers but I have them as a main dish. Very simple to make and delicious to eat. I made these at a recent block party and they were gone within minutes. Cut recipe down for a smaller group. You can also use a crock pot instead of the oven which is what I did for the block party.
Approx. 8 dozen frozen (already cooked) meatballs
Sauce
1 bottle hot or regular ketchup
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 jar [12 oz] apple jelly
1 jar [12 oz ] currant jelly
Combine ketchup and cornstarch in roasting pan. Stir in jellies; add the meatballs. Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Yield: about 8 dozen.

Easy appetizer
Everyone love these when I bring them to a party, and they are really easy to make
Raspberry Brie Phyllo cups
you buy the frozen phyllo cups at the grocery store
they are small little cups that you fill and bake
you put some brie cheese in each cup and bake according to package directions
remove from oven and top with a bit of raspberry preserves
then you can top with a few toasted slivered almonds.
they make a great presentation and taste delicious.
