We weren't going to do anything for New Years Eve, but yesterday at church started talking with different friends - and ended up inviting them to our house for a New Years Eve Party. We are having appetizers...

I love this sort of thing - here is what I have so far for a menu -

Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts (DH's recipe is the BEST EVER!)
Artichoke Dip with french bread
Chili Cheese Dip w/ chips
Veggies w/ dip

What is one more NON-DAIRY, NON-MEATBALL recipe that would be good - must be very easy to make - I have limited time!


Oh - also, I am making a Chocolate Trifle, and a Pumpkin Pie.
 
Smoked sausages in crescents. With BBQ sauce (the PC one from the ribs recipe)
 
I would do a braid and cut up into pieces. I love to pick on that!
