tailgating recipe hunt

[mightyh]

I'm looking for some quick, delicious recipes to "pass" at a weekly tailgate party before a high school football game. Some folks get pretty fancy, but I'd prefer to stick to finger foods. Can be main dishes, appetizers, sides, or desserts...

Check the above thread on "dishes to pass". You should find some ideas. On that one, I posted the easiest recipe (and it's good too) for Cucumber Ryes.

Hope this helps!! Have fun tailgating!!

I posted this on another thread, but I'll post it here too. This is extremely easy and can be made the night before.

VEGGIE BARS

2 cans crescent roll dough (Pillsbury)
1 (8 oz.) pkg Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 (1 oz.) package ranch dressing mix
1/4 cup light or non-fat mayonnaise
Veggies: shredded carrots (1 or 2)
chopped red bell pepper
chopped green bell pepper
small broccoli florets (1 bunch)
(any other you prefer- olives, mushrooms, etc.)
Shredded cheddar cheese

Unroll crescent rolls and press into 15x10" pan; seal edges together to make crust. Bake
as directed on package. Let cool completely in pan.
Mix cream cheese, dressing mix & mayo at low speed until well combined and smooth. Spread on top of crust.
Sprinkle vegetables evenly over cream cheese mixture. Top with shredded cheese. Put in
refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut into 2" squares.

Hi,
As you mentioned that desserts are a possibility, I thought you might find this thread helpful. It has lots of tried-and-true recipes for easy cookies and bars.

And for appetizers, you might like this thread. Can you guess that I m not feeling very original today? http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20000714-1-000183.html
(By the way, does anyone else find anything strange about the appetizer thread? This link takes you to the beginning of the thread, but on the top-right hand corner it says page 2. If you try to click on page 1, it takes you to the favorite veggie thread! Is it just me?)
Enjoy the party!
