Recipes for 80Th Birthday Luncheon

Hello everyone -

I am hosting my grandmother's 80th birthday celebration and I need some good and easy recipes/ideas. The party is on a Sunday at 1p.m., I have already ordered a shrimp platter and a fruit display from Edible arrangements. I was thinking of doing meatballs, veggies, ect but I was looking for some EASY finger food ideas. Thanks in advance.

Ladies of that age appreciate devilled eggs. Easy to make--and to eat, if any have dental issues--and most likely associated with fond memories of 'the good old days'.
Have fun!

I have a great recipe for a fab. blue cheese dip. If you're interested let me know and I'll send it to you. It is very easy to make and It's served warm. Not low cal. though. ;-)
Good luck!

Trader Joes sells delicious, easy to bake, frozen appetizers. Have fun.

Cheese and crackers is easy. If you don't want to cut the cheeses yourself, get some presliced Cracker Barrel ones or mini cheeses.

Do you have any desserts? Cupcakes and cookies are easy.

Hi M.,

You could make a spinach dip (the recipe is on the back of the dry vegetable soup mix box). You could also hit your local Costco or Sam's club. They usually stock a lot of different gourmet style appetizers in the freezer section that you would only have to thaw out or in some cases toss in the oven for a little while. Their selection includes things like mini-quiches, mini-pigs in a blanket, tortilla vegetable rolls cut into bite sized pieces etc.. the list goes on and on. I suggest this instead of recipes because you have two small children and I am sure that you are very busy with them and with planning this luncheon so this is a good way to save time but still put out an impressive looking finger food buffet.

Hope this helps and good luck!
