Starters and Small bites
A really basic vegetable and dip platter.
Tips on a Fresh Veggie Platter.
Garlic Herb Cheese Spread:
This recipe is from the frog commissary cookbook. Why buy a veggie dip with all
kinds of preservatives and crap when you can make one in 5 minutes
(with a food processer, natch) according to the Frog Commissary Cookbook, in
addition to using this cheese spread for your veggie platter you can:
pipe it onto cucumber or zuccini disks, or into hollowed cherry
tomatoes or raw mushroom caps, spread on burgers, slather on baked
potatoes, use as a sandwich spread, etc.
Your basic artichoke dip.
Seared Scallops with Mirin Glaze and Almond Caper Topping:
A really amazing starter, a big payoff for a relatively simple
recipe.
Pepperoni Rolls:
My young bachelor guy friends love these! About half the time I
make them with vegetarian pepperoni and they are also awesome.
