Thanks Gimpy- some good ideas! I think I'll go with the proscuitto wrapped melon- nice and light. I probably have too much already but I just can't help myself- I like to feed people!
We have dinner early on Thanksgiving, around 2:30 - 3:00. I don't usually make appetizers, or no one would eat dinner. Well, they would eat, but get full too quick .
But the fresh fruit sounds wonderful. Actually I could have that for Thanksgiving dinner, myself, and be very happy :) I love fresh fruit. Don't have much of an appetite lately, but I can almost always eat fruit.
Baked spinach & artichoke dip w/focaccia bread slices...

1/2 cup sour cream
1 cut grated Parmesan cheese
14 ounce can artichoke hearts, chopped
9 ounce box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
Cream together mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream. Add remaining ingredients.
***If you like "stinky" cheese, you can also add about 2 tablespoons of grated Romano cheese***
Pour into greased 8" x 8" baking dish (I like to use glass baking dishes for this).
Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.
I found a recipe on allrecipes.com that has gotten lots of great reviews for Artichoke dip... I'm going to try this for my family...
- 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped pimento peppers (lots of people substituted jalopeno peppers for the pimentos)
some added garlic as well...
sounds yummy to me?? we will see...I have a way of always ruining recipes! lol

This sounds just wonderful !!! I sure am going to make this. Thank you
Bread bowl
take a large black round pumpernickle loaf, and hollow it out.. roughly tear the stuff you took out into 1 inch cubes.
mix 1 container of dill dip with a cup (or so) of sour cream, stir in 1 jar of chipped beef, rinsed in boiling water , drained real well, and cut into irregular pieces about a half inch big.
put the dip in the bread bowl and stand backl
I have gotten invitations, " can your bread bowl come to our gathering? you can come too if you must.."
cheapie shrimp: get a bag of the smallest frozen shrip, let thaw, drain well, mix with about a bottle of shrimp cocktail sauce. pour over a block of cream cheese, eat with triscuit or other hearty crackers.
mini quisidillas.. spread cheese and a little salsa on flour tortillias, bake till cheese is nice and runny
the heck with the turkey, lets just eat appetisers.
Ask and ye shall receive! Wow! I have to print these all out- I can't possibly use them all for Thanksgiving but I will eventually! Thank you!!!!!
