I love Snacks!

Ill say it, Ill shout it loud & proud...I Love Snacks! 

Snack trays
Appetizers
Tappas
Finger Foods
However you say it, I love it! 

Having the ability to graze, pick-n-choose, grab a little bit of this & a little bit of that are just some of my reasons for this love!

When it comes to cooking, I have a strong need to please. And thats easier said then done when you either don't know the tastes of those you are cooking for or you know your dealing with picky eaters.

Making a variety gives everyone an option & if they still can't find something they like...then unfriend them, you don't need that negativity in your life :)

With Super Bowl Sunday a few days away, Im sure there are many of you planning your game day menu's! 

Here are just a few quick ideas that would make a great addition to any party tray!
-----------------------

Salami Roll Up's: sliced salami, provolone cheese & a mix of green olives/mini dill pickles...you will also need toothpicks.


Use the whole slice or half the slice of cheese. I cut mine in half.


Place onto your salami and start to roll into a log.


Top with either your pickle or olive & secure with a toothpick.



These can be made several ways with different meats & cheeses. 

Super quick & easy to make.


BLT Wraps: Cooked bacon, tortilla shells, mayo, lettuce & tomatoes.


Spread the mayo over the shell.


Add the diced tomatoes. Season with salt & pepper.


Ahh....the bacon!!!


Now your lettuce.


Bring in the sides, then roll.



Secure bite size pieces with toothpicks.


Slice between the picks & your finished!!

Bite sized BLT's!


Roasted Baby Potatoes: You can really use any kind of potato for this. If you use the baby potatoes, roast them whole. If you use a larger potatoes, cut into pieces...drizzle with olive oil, salt/pepper & roast till tender.


Dip into a horseradish cream sauce! Mix sour cream, horseradish & sliced green onions.


Salami roll ups, blt wraps & roasted potatoes joined veggies, marinated mushrooms & toasted bread to finish this tray.
