Take soft cream cheese, on top of this put pepper jelly, and wheat thins placed around the dish, not only real good, but a pretty dish. The pepper jelly I use, I made, it is green, but can buy in grocery stores, in red color. I also made some yellow color, used food coloring, it never changes the taste.I need some finger food recipes for friends thanksgiving day wedding?
U COULD DO A QUACAMOLE DIP WITH PUMPERNICKLE BREAD, CHEESE BALLS, VEGGIE TRAYS CHEESE AND CRACKERS COLD MEAT PLATES IF U NEED STUFF LIKE THAT SEARCH THE WEB THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF STUFF
Since you've already got lots of great ideas for reception food, I'll throw this out-- why don't you have a nice dinner out with your parents instead of cooking it yourself. Or, have a brunch Thanksgiving meal late morning-midday. You could incorporate some traditional Thanksgiving components into the meal-- like turkey sausage (the gourmet/specialty kind, not the kind people get because it's healthier), pumpkin bread (maybe even make french toast with it), maybe a cranberry cocktail if you're drinkers.
Good luck. It sounds like a busy and potentially very fun day.
This is soooooo easy:
Combine 1 jar of grape jelly and 1 jar of chili sauce (This comes in a jar like ketchup NOT hot dog chili!)
Stir well.
Add several packages of Little Smokies (small smoked sausages)
Heat thoroughly
Yummy!
But are you sure you have to cook Thanksgiving dinner?????
Maybe you can do dinner on the weekend before or after. I don't know about you, but I could never fix food for a wedding reception and cook TG dinner on the same day!!
You can also make little pumpkin tarts, a bit more work involved.
Buy tiny tart shells already made. Cream cheese and sugar mixture in the bottom, canned pumpkin %26amp; Coolwhip mixture on top. Top w whipped topping and sprinkle w cinnimon. They are pretty and very fall looking.
Also, don't forget to check Martha Stewart's websit or magazine.
cut up in small pieces, red peppers, green peppers, corn if u want, and chicken pieces cubed. cook that in oil w. salt and pepper...stuff that in puff pastry shells. so easy and quick to do.
try
http://www.bettycrocker.com/Recipes/Appe鈥?/a>
and at the top you can do like cold dips ect and they have recipes hope that helped!!
bacon wrapped scallops
i think turkey salad made as you make chicken salad with cranberry jelly on bite size bread: spiced ham on rye and cut small. miniature rolls and deviled eggs and relishes and fruit on a pic and a variety of cheeses
A wedding on Thanksgiving? A day when people like to be with their families, eat turkey, relax and the guys watch football? The anniversary is not going to have it's own special day? So later when they have kids and such ddoing the traditional thanksgiving a romantic celebration for the anniversary is out the window. I suppose its arranged at this point. I just can't believe that some people don't think things through. Just a thought. Anyway keep it simple as its thanksgiving. Deviled eggs, sausage rolls, etc. always go over.
Here are a couple of my family's favorites:
Chicken/Bacon Wraps
Buy the fajita meat that comes prepackaged. Cut off excess fat, and cut into bite size pieces (raw). Cut a package of bacon in half. Wrap each bite of chicken with half a strip of bacon, and one almond. Bake for one hour on 350. It may smoke a lot, so be prepared. Serve with a honey mustard.
Cream Cheese Dip
Buy a stick of cream cheese. (looks more like a block really). Cut in half length wise, and then cut across making several pats of cream cheese. Pour over this half a cup each of worcestire sauce and soy sauce. Top with green onion. Serve with Triscuits.
Salmon Wheels
Buy smoked salmon. Smear cream cheese and roll up. cut into bite size wheels and serve just like that or with mini bagels.
Stuffed Jalapenos or Mushrooms
Cut up bacon into tiny slices and fry up, drain.. mix with a cup of mayo and a package of shredded cheddar cheese, and a can of water chestnuts. Buy a can of jalapenos. Stuff jalapenos with mixture and serve.
Another Stuffing
Buy frozen cocktail shrimp. Thaw and mix with cream cheese, green onion, a package of hidden valley ranch dressing MIX.. not the liquid. It's okay to shred up the shrimp. Stuff this mixture in either jalapenos or mushroom caps and heat in oven til warm.
Spinach Dip served in King's Hawaiian Round Bread is awesome and easy. The recipe is on the package of Knorr's Vegetable Soup.
Hope some of that helps!
Just bring a bunch of Slim Jims, that'll teach these idiots not to ruin your Thanksgiving Day again
whats the budget for this reception. I just came from a really nice wedding where they had like a tea party finger food theme for the reception. They had a bunch of cold salads, shrimp cocktail and all these things made with Filo dough. They had cheese balls, crab puffs, pigs in a blanket, a huge fresh fruit display pineapple chunks, mango slivers, chocolate covered strawberries, seasonal fruits and even a little filo cups with a fruit compote and mini chocolate teramisu.

I have made lemon squares since I was about 10, and they are always a hit. My receipe is at home, and I'm at work, but this receipe is almost exactly like mine. I always use fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest in the filling. It gives them an amazing flavor.

1/2 box Wheaties energy crunch
1 cup granola, plain or with nuts
Melt butter and vanilla together for 1 min in the microwave. Add peanut butter and marshmallow creme and stir well to combine.
Add Wheaties to the mixture and spread it out in a plastic refrigerator container. Add granola to the top and press down into the mix with an offset spatula.
Chill and serve.
Snacks:
--Triscuit crackers with cream cheese, a slice of fresh tomato and a bit of fresh basil.
--Deviled eggs.
--A block of cream cheese with chilie sauce or salsa (seasoned to taste) poured over it, with cold baby shrimp. Eat with crackers or corn chips.
--Sliced cheese and cracker tray (mix and match is good for kids).
Desserts:
I have made lemon squares since I was about 10, and they are always a hit. My receipe is at home, and I'm at work, but this receipe is almost exactly like mine. I always use fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest in the filling. It gives them an amazing flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix flour, butter and powdered sugar thoroughly. Press evenly into an ungreased 8 x 8 x 2 inch or 9 x 9 x 2 inch square pan. Make a little rim up the edges to hold in the filling. A quarter inch or so will do it. Bake 20 minutes.
Beat remaining ingredients about 3 minutes of until light and fluffy. Pour over the hot crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake about 25 minutes longer or until no imprint remains when touched lightly in the center. Remove from oven, sprinkle the extra powdered sugar on the top, if you like. Cool, cut into squares.
your having thanksgiving dinner so you dont want to load up on snacks, keep it simple, cheese and sausages with crackers or spinach dip or hummus with veges / pita bread.
Dessert ideas, have pumpkin cheesecake or pecan pie. Make spice cupcakes or banana bread muffins pumpkin muffins whatever. Dont go crazy! THe dinner itself will be time consuming.
apple pie chesesee ball
Try visiting the foodnetwork.com, pillsbury.com, kraftfoods.com, and bettycrocker.com. I have tried several recipes from these sites and all were excellent.
Thanksgiving Feast:
Appetizers: veges and ranch dressing
assorted olives
crackers and cheese
Main Course: Turkey
Stuffing
Potatos and gravey
Peas and onions
Cranberry mold
Hot rolls and butter
Desserts: Pumpkin pie (Marie Callendars is great!)
Pecan Pie (see above)
Lemon bars
This is a wonderful dessert recipe. It's super easy and you can make it the day before. People rave about it and ask for the recipe all the time.
Pudding Fluff
2 cps Milk
2 sm box of Jell-o Instant Pudding any flavor you choose
16 oz container of Cool Whip
Graham Cracker or Oreo Cookie Crust
Put the milk in a mixing bowl, add the pudding mix. Whisk until blended, quickly fold in the Cool Whip. Scoop into the graham cracker or Oreo crust and refrigerate. This is also good frozen.
Cheesecake version, use a potato masher to blend 8oz of softened cream cheese into the milk before adding the pudding mix and use Vanilla pudding. I like layering the cream cheese version with chocolate. The Berry Topping below is real good over the cream cheese version.
Yummy Berry Topping
1 lb fresh strawberries, cleaned and cut up
1 can raspberry pie filling
Mix the fresh strawberries with the pie filling and serve it with the cheesecake, vanilla or chocolate versions. Great with a container of blackberries added in. Could also be used as a layer in the above option.
I need some finger food recipes for friends thanksgiving day wedding?
PLEASE HELP. I NEED SOME RECIPES FOR QUICK AND EASY FINGER FOODS FOR MY FRIENDS WEDDING RECEPTION. NOT ONLY IS IT ON THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON, MY PARENTS WILL BE IN TOWN FROM OHIO VISITING US FOR 2 WEEKS. I NEED TO DO THANKSGIVING DINNER PLUS FINGER FOODS. SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP.I need some finger food recipes for friends thanksgiving day wedding?
Take soft cream cheese, on top of this put pepper jelly, and wheat thins placed around the dish, not only real good, but a pretty dish. The pepper jelly I use, I made, it is green, but can buy in grocery stores, in red color. I also made some yellow color, used food coloring, it never changes the taste.I need some finger food recipes for friends thanksgiving day wedding?
U COULD DO A QUACAMOLE DIP WITH PUMPERNICKLE BREAD, CHEESE BALLS, VEGGIE TRAYS CHEESE AND CRACKERS COLD MEAT PLATES IF U NEED STUFF LIKE THAT SEARCH THE WEB THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF STUFF
Since you've already got lots of great ideas for reception food, I'll throw this out-- why don't you have a nice dinner out with your parents instead of cooking it yourself. Or, have a brunch Thanksgiving meal late morning-midday. You could incorporate some traditional Thanksgiving components into the meal-- like turkey sausage (the gourmet/specialty kind, not the kind people get because it's healthier), pumpkin bread (maybe even make french toast with it), maybe a cranberry cocktail if you're drinkers.
Good luck. It sounds like a busy and potentially very fun day.
This is soooooo easy:
Combine 1 jar of grape jelly and 1 jar of chili sauce (This comes in a jar like ketchup NOT hot dog chili!)
Stir well.
Add several packages of Little Smokies (small smoked sausages)
Heat thoroughly
Yummy!
But are you sure you have to cook Thanksgiving dinner?????
Maybe you can do dinner on the weekend before or after. I don't know about you, but I could never fix food for a wedding reception and cook TG dinner on the same day!!
You can also make little pumpkin tarts, a bit more work involved.
Buy tiny tart shells already made. Cream cheese and sugar mixture in the bottom, canned pumpkin %26amp; Coolwhip mixture on top. Top w whipped topping and sprinkle w cinnimon. They are pretty and very fall looking.
Also, don't forget to check Martha Stewart's websit or magazine.
cut up in small pieces, red peppers, green peppers, corn if u want, and chicken pieces cubed. cook that in oil w. salt and pepper...stuff that in puff pastry shells. so easy and quick to do.

and at the top you can do like cold dips ect and they have recipes hope that helped!!
bacon wrapped scallops
i think turkey salad made as you make chicken salad with cranberry jelly on bite size bread: spiced ham on rye and cut small. miniature rolls and deviled eggs and relishes and fruit on a pic and a variety of cheeses
A wedding on Thanksgiving? A day when people like to be with their families, eat turkey, relax and the guys watch football? The anniversary is not going to have it's own special day? So later when they have kids and such ddoing the traditional thanksgiving a romantic celebration for the anniversary is out the window. I suppose its arranged at this point. I just can't believe that some people don't think things through. Just a thought. Anyway keep it simple as its thanksgiving. Deviled eggs, sausage rolls, etc. always go over.
Here are a couple of my family's favorites:
Chicken/Bacon Wraps
Buy the fajita meat that comes prepackaged. Cut off excess fat, and cut into bite size pieces (raw). Cut a package of bacon in half. Wrap each bite of chicken with half a strip of bacon, and one almond. Bake for one hour on 350. It may smoke a lot, so be prepared. Serve with a honey mustard.
Cream Cheese Dip
Buy a stick of cream cheese. (looks more like a block really). Cut in half length wise, and then cut across making several pats of cream cheese. Pour over this half a cup each of worcestire sauce and soy sauce. Top with green onion. Serve with Triscuits.
Salmon Wheels
Buy smoked salmon. Smear cream cheese and roll up. cut into bite size wheels and serve just like that or with mini bagels.
Stuffed Jalapenos or Mushrooms
Cut up bacon into tiny slices and fry up, drain.. mix with a cup of mayo and a package of shredded cheddar cheese, and a can of water chestnuts. Buy a can of jalapenos. Stuff jalapenos with mixture and serve.
Another Stuffing
Buy frozen cocktail shrimp. Thaw and mix with cream cheese, green onion, a package of hidden valley ranch dressing MIX.. not the liquid. It's okay to shred up the shrimp. Stuff this mixture in either jalapenos or mushroom caps and heat in oven til warm.
Spinach Dip served in King's Hawaiian Round Bread is awesome and easy. The recipe is on the package of Knorr's Vegetable Soup.
Hope some of that helps!
Just bring a bunch of Slim Jims, that'll teach these idiots not to ruin your Thanksgiving Day again
whats the budget for this reception. I just came from a really nice wedding where they had like a tea party finger food theme for the reception. They had a bunch of cold salads, shrimp cocktail and all these things made with Filo dough. They had cheese balls, crab puffs, pigs in a blanket, a huge fresh fruit display pineapple chunks, mango slivers, chocolate covered strawberries, seasonal fruits and even a little filo cups with a fruit compote and mini chocolate teramisu.myspace images
