New Year’s eve is approaching quickly and you’ll want to have some snacks on hand to send 2020 out and bring 2021 in with hope & best wishes.
Everyone has their favorite snacks and very often we tend to serve them over and over again. Meatballs, chips & dip, and pigs in a blanket are yummy, but so last year! So if you’re tired of the same old things or just want a new appetizer to try, one of these easy recipes may become a new favorite.
Salami Rolls
- 1 pound of thinly sliced salami
- 1 block of cream cheese, softened
- blue cheese 4 oz or more – depends on how much you like it!
Mix cream cheese and blue cheese, adding a bit of milk to thin if needed.
Spread thinly on each slice of salami and roll, securing with a toothpick or laying the flap side down on the serving plate. Chill and serve.
Crab Dip
