Hello all! Looking for easy appetizers to make for the Christmas Holidays and also a recipe for making the coating on the potato wedges?The kind like at Arby's or Kentucky Fry Chicken,sometimes they have them in the grocery store too! Thank you Rita

Ohh...here's a recipe I just found while looking through last year's Christmas Taste of Home magazine!! They look awesome!!!!

Festive Crab Cups

1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 package (2.1 oz.) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
1/3 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab, and onions until blended. Place trat shells on an ungreased baking sheet. Drop 1 tablesoon of the crab mixture into each shell. Top each with 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 15 appetizers.

Rita...cheese balls are also a quick, super easy thing to make and you can make them a week or two a head of time...and just add some crackers to the tray and you are good to go!

Take a Burrito Shell,
and then take room temp cream cheese in a bowl,
little tiny bits of broccoli florets *heads* and smooshed up garlic and shaved pieces of carrots..
and mix in.. then take it and spread it on the
burrito shell **with in a little bit from the sides, so when you roll it doesn't squish out**

But roll it up, put it back in to the frig.
*or freezer to speed up the re~hardening process*
You want it a bit firm for cutting later..
*and you can put it back in the frig and make it up a couple of days before..just remember the garlic seems to get stronger... which is good if you like garlic*

But later, before guests arrive... cut up, like in medalions *coin sizes'* and top with tiny florets of broccoli, shaved carrots... or even a pimento for color..

Also another fun one for the kids to do,
which is reallllllllly simple and pretty is
take a can of precut pieces of pineapple and
a jar of maracheno cherries, add a piece of the
pineapple on the plate....top with cherry
and a frilly toothpick....

The cherries will bleed a bit into the pineapple..
so you can take the cherries and drain ahead of time, but I personally don't, cause the flavors mix good..
