Appetizers Galore!!!

We had a LOT of appetizers for this month's cooking group.. here are the pics of each- and their respective owners :)   If you'd like to get a recipe for any of these listed, just let us know by leaving a comment!

Taco bites:
Basically use "tostitos scoops" chips and fill them with taco stuff, then bake them till the cheese melts.  I put a bit o' sour cream and salsa on top to finish it off once they were done cooking.

Potato Pizzas:
Slice up a potato into thin, round slices.  Lightly coat w/ olive oil and salt/pepper to taste.  bake for 10 minutes in oven on a cookie sheet, take them out and flip 'em over and bake for another 5-10 minutes till golden brown/slightly crispy.   Top w pizza sauce, cheese, grn/red peppers, scallions, and really whatever else you want.  Broil for a few minutes till cheese is melted. Garnish w a snip of parsely.

Apple and cloves Candle holder:
You can really just look at this and see what you need to do :)  Just used toothpicks for holding everything into place, and I used grapes and blueberries, but you can use anything you want...

This made me feel creative, so I made a "Potato Mouse" (This is fun to do for baked potatoes for the kids...) Made it with raisins for the eyes, and onions for the whiskers and tail.  Zucchini for the ears...

Isn't he cute?

After that I had a lot of scallion heads left over, so I used them and made little peeps for another candle holder...

(This one was just plain silly and fun!)

Here's some of the other yummy things we sampled:

Olive Skewers: Julia S.

Low-carb wraps: Ela  (Turkey, wrapped around feta, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, avocado, cucumber, topped w Bernstein's dressing.)

Sundried Tomato w/cream cheese wraps: Julia S.

Stuffed Mushrooms: Jordan A.

Asparagus Wraps: Tess D.

This ugly mess was supposed to look cool, but turned out NOTHING like the picture!  I will not say who made it... You'll just have to guess.

What were the name of these???  By Julia S.

Thanks to everyone who participated!  Great Cooking Group- can't wait to make those asparagus wraps! MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm.
