OT - Queasy Aps

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Queasy = Quick + Easy. It's been an inside joke in my family for years.

We're going to a Halloween party this weekend (costumes - woo hoo!!!). While I already know what I'm taking (tortilla roll-ups using Spinach and Sundried Tomato tortillas - the tomato ones look more orange than red), I'm always open to new 'queasy' appetizer recipes. Someone might have one (or 3 or 7) I can use for another holiday.

Any queasy recipes you'd like to share, STalkers?

Tortilla Roll-Ups

2-8oz pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch
1 can chopped green chiles (or 2, depending on how you want it)
1 can chopped black olives
Green onions, chopped (optional)
Flour tortillas
Salsa

Mix together cheese, sour cream Ranch, chiles, olives, and onions.
Spread on flour tortillas.
Roll up and slice into 1-inch slices.

You can skewer these with a toothpick to help keep fingers clean.

My aunt used to make me these - and great for hangover food.

Dill pickles spears cut in half
Slices of domestic ham
Creamcheese

Spread creamcheese on ham and roll up dill pickle. Yum

Classy, I haven't had those in YEARS!!! People always made them with that really thin lunchmeat (Buddig??). I distinctly recall a not-so-handy-in-the-kitchen woman saying it was "too hard to spread cream cheese on the pickles". LMAO!!!!!

My mother is the cheese ball queen. She brings a cheese ball to every get together. I personally can't stand cheese balls....or it might just be my mother's Lol I've only ever had hers.

I made this into a cheese ball and served it with water crackers instead of piping into the mini shells:

for something sweet...

1kg yogurt, 1 tin (375g) of sweetened condensed
crush some shortbread or ginger cookies , mix with butter and from a crust, mix yogurt and condensed milk, pour over the crust, pop in the microwave for 5 minutes, set in fridge to set.... fake cheese cake lol..

slices of white/brown bread, crusts removed, roll flat with something (I use my wine bottle)
tomato paste or ketchup over it, with grated cheese and mixed italian spice, pop in oven till cheese is melted, and see there mini pizza
or simply put rub with garlic oil instead of ketchup for pitta bread...

beat 6 eggs till foamy, add.. peppers, chilies, span cubes/fried bacon bits, onions, mushrooms,tomatoes - stir nicely in and pop in the over till eggs are cooked - what we call Spanish omelet just not in a pan....

sheet of puff pastry, cut in fingers, wrap around streaky bacon, spice to liking, pop in the oven till pastry is done and bacon crispy -
some nice bread stick to snack on.... you can leave the bacon and simply just use spice... twist the pastry in spirals if not using bacon.

Woot! we're having a Halloween party this weekend too! but it's for BS7 and his friends, so I'm making all kid friendly stuff. We're having Petrified Bats (tortilla cut out in bat shapes, dipped in butter and then cinnamon and sugar and baked for 10 minutes) We did a trial run this weekend and they were YUMMY!! I'm also making Swamp Jello. You put fruit cocktail in the bottom of a clean fish bowl, then add a small skeleton and a tire or matchbox or something, and a few sprigs of endive, then mix blue, green and yellow jello for a "swampy" color and poor in and refrigerate. Monster Mash (popcorn, pretzels, candy eyeballs etc with melted marshmallows) and Witch's Sticks (pretzel rods dipped in melted green candy melts with Halloween sprinkles.)

They are going to play a bunch of games (pin the face on the skeleton, spider web toss, donuts on a string, apple bobbing) They are each making their own Halloween canvas painting with squirt guns and then we are having a spooky scavenger hunt that will lead them to their treat bags.

I don't know who is more excited, BS7 or me!!! I loooooovveeeee Halloween!
Hope you have an awesome party!

Daizy, I've seen candy skeleton pieces that you use in place of a plastic skeleton. You know, because kids need MORE sugar... }:)

Chubby Bunny is a marshmallow game. You tuck a regular-sized marshmallow in the SIDE of your mouth and say "Chubby Bunny". Tuck in another marshmallow and repeat. You keep going until you can no longer say "Chubby Bunny" coherently. Please note that the marshmallows are tucked IN THE SIDE of the mouth, between your cheek and gums. You do not just shove a bunch of marshmallows in your mouth.

If you don't think the children will be supervised well enough or that it could be hazardous, don't play. I have only played this game at Adults Only parties and we are laughing so hard, we're crying. BTW, we keep plastic (opaque) grocery (Walmart) bags immediately at hand to spit out the marshmallows when we can no longer continue.

Acra, I had ELEVEN marshmallows in my mouth. No way I was going to eat that many. They need to be TOASTED first!! LOL

I competed in a Chubby Bunny contest at summer camp once as a kid. I had 9 marshmallows in there and had to stop!
