This is not so much a recipe, as it is a secret trick of caterers: no-one at parties pays attention to what the food tastes like, they only look at the plate. Spend 50% of your budget on your serving platters, 10% on food and 40% on booze. You can serve anyone frozen pigs in a blanket from a warehouse club if you put them on a pretty plate with fancy mustard in little bowl. Translate the name into French, Italian or Thai and you can get away with anything. Pigs in a blanket become Saucissons en Croute. Mini-quiches become, well, Quiche au Jambon (ham) / Bacon (duh) / Oignon (onion).

Grilled chicken on wooden skewers with a dipping sauce of peanut butter mixed with soy sauce are Chicken Satays. Stick the non-chicken loaded end of the stick into a block of floral foam that you have put into a dish. Put plastic flowers or grass in first that are shorter than the satay sticks.

Everyone likes shrimp cocktail, and you can buy a huge bag of pre-cooked frozen shrimp for next to nothing. Again, put it on shaved ice in a nice glass bowl and suddenly you're a genius. Take the sauce out of the jar and put it into something pretty. Make a cheese platter out of a cutting board with red & green grapes and those red cabbage leaves. Put strawberries on it even though people don't eat them when they're next to cheese.

 
You don't have to be a good cook to become known for good holiday parties. Just make sure there's enough booze for people to not notice the food, and be sure to throw out the boxes from the freezer section before the guests arrive. Have good music and pretty women in abundance. Follow the reheating directions on the boxes. Take a shower ahead of time.

Enjoy the festivities but don't drive drunk! Happy Holidays everybody!\

So I have tried alot of recipes from your site and decided that I will contribute one myself.
 
I make these things alot when I have company over as an appetizer at cookouts or as a fingerfood at parties.  Its kind of spicy so it makes people drink more which is fun.
 
Marks Cheesy Chicken Wrap-ups
 
What you need :  One large can or pouch of boneless white meat chicken (I use Tysons)
                         
                          One package of egg roll wrappers (usually in the produce section)
                         
                          One Jar of Jalapeno pepper slices
                         
                          One block of cream cheese. (softened to room temp. so it spreads easy)
 
                          One bag of shredded Mexican cheese
 
                          One can of Campbells Fiesta cheese mix
 
                          You will also need some vegtable oil or a deep fryer.
 
Heres what ya do :  Take an egg roll wrapper and spread a line of cream cheese on it in the
                             middle.
 
                             Next put some of the chicken on top of the cream cheese and add
                             shredded cheese and 4 or 5 pepper slices in a row.  Then roll it up kind
                             tight like a doobie.  To seal it you will need to have a cup of water
                             nearby to wet your fingers with.  Just dip your fingers in the water and
                             run a line across the edge and it should stick together.
 
                             After you have put them all together and rolled them up.  (One can of
                             chicken should make about 12.  More or less depending on how much
                             you put in each wrapper).  You will need to heat about 2 inches of oil in
                             a pan or heat a deep fryer to around 375 degrees.  Once your oil is hot
                             enough put them in and fry them on each side until they are golden
                             brown.  About 3 or 4 minutes per side usually.  Set them on a plate with
                             paper towls to absorb some of the oil and cool down and they are ready
                             to eat.  You can also make the cheese sauce to pour over them or dip
                             them in but alot of people seem to like them by themselves.  I like to
                             drink beer while I eat them. 
 
                             If anyone wants to try to make them and then freeze them to cook later
                             let me know how that works out. I think it would work but I never tried it. 
                             Also let me know if you alter the recipe and it tastes good.

                             Happy Holidays Everyone!

This, my friend, is the poor kids' holiday dessert

Ingredients:
One package ramen noodles (per person)
Some mini marshmallows (at least a cup per person)
Whole lotta mini chocolate chips

Now, if you want to be good and make this pretty, set the oven to 350. 
Put the ramen noodles (in squares) on the bottom of a greased glass 
pan. Layer marshmallows and chocolate chips on top. Bake until top is 
golden brown.

If you're lazy like me, this is the 2 minute (or less!) version:
Take package of ramen out, throw it on a plate.
Take a handfull of marshmallows, stick it on top of ramen.
Melt for about 20 seconds (they'll get all big and poofy, open it up 
and let them go down.) Throw on chocolate chips, nuke for another 20 
seconds or until the chocolate is melted.

Voila, it's like a rice crispy treat but much more badass.
Keep up with the laughs,
Erica from Iowa
