Having a Party???

I found two delicious recipes I used for two different parties recently. One is an appetizer and the other is a not too sweet punch(don't let the name get you..it isn't only for Mardi Gras)!!! Both are super simple to make...so if you are having a party...try them!!!

Curried Shrimp Tarts

Ingredients

1 cup chopped cooked shrimp (I used canned shrimp because they are small)

1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2-3/4 teaspoon curry powder (I used 1/2 because some people aren't found of curry taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
15 -30 mini-phyllo pastry shells
2 1/2 tablespoons jarred mango chutney

Toppings: chopped fresh chives, toasted sweetened flaked coconut

Preparation

Stir together first 6 ingredients. Spoon mixture into pastry shells. Spoon 1/2 tsp. mango chutney over each tart; sprinkle with desired toppings.

Mardi Gras Madness Punch

Ingredients:

1 (40 ounce) bottles grape juice

1 (48 ounce) cans unsweetened pineapple juice

1 (2 liter) bottles lemon-lime flavored soda

2 oranges or 2 lemons

2 limes

750 ml vodka (optional) **I didn't use due to type of party**

Directions:

Add liquids in order given.

Float slices of oranges and limes on top.

It's Food Friday, Again!

I found a really easy appetizer you can make for parties, tailgating or just because!  It's a recipe from Weight Watchers...so that is an added bonus!!
