Curious as to what "appetizer Ideas or sit around munching ideas" others have for the Christmas season. I have a couple of outings I need to take things to, and thought somebody else might have better ideas than I do.

Of course, we can do the veggie and cheese thing.

Tammi just posted a new recipe for Mozzarella Sticks in our Recipes/Snack section. Sounds yummy!

Wa'il

How about a Hot Shrimp Dip or an Artichoke Dip? Serve with veggies.

I like that idea...could you share these recipes please??

Artichoke dip (carb count undetermined)

8 oz cream cheese
12 oz mozzarella, shredded
1 c mayo
1 c grated parmesan
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 small jars marinated artichoke hearts

Tear artichokes apart. Combine all ingredients and mash (or mix in a KitchenAid mixer).
Bake in an uncovered casserole dish for approx 30 min at 350 degrees til bubbly. Serve hot.

Here is a favorite of mine:

STUFFED SNOW PEAS

Blanch any amount of snow peas you want (very briefly, you want the crunchiness to be there)
Cool in iced water.
Dry with paper towel.
Carefully split each pod open (you can remove the little peas inside but not necessary).
Mix together either mashed crab, shrimp, lobster, with mayo, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce and the seasonings of your choice. (I like dill, salt and pepper)
Stuff the snow peas.
This may be a bit time consuming, but worth it.

Tasty, crunchy, LC. I love it.

Hi to all.

Here is one of my favourites.

SHRIMP DIP
1 pkg of 8 ounce cream cheese,
1/2 cup of mayo.
l small tin of shrimp (drained)
1 teaspoon of chopped onion,
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic.
Mix all to-gether and refrigerate.

Crab and lobster may be used instead of shrimp, or if you are a seafood lover like I am I use shrimp, crab, lobster, all to-gether and triple the recipe.

I use pork rinds to dip with and let everyone else use those crackers full of carbs. Yuck!

Hope you try and enjoy.

Thanks...appreciate all your ideas. I saw the fairy, did you see the fairy????

I was reading an old post about a recipe from Tammy for mozza sticks, but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me?

Try the search function at the top of the page. Type in mozzarella and Tammy and you may well be able to find it.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for the help Karen. Unfortunately no luck!

Click low-carb recipes at the top of the page, click readers recipes then click snacks. You will find it there.

Karen

Hey Karen,

I still can't find it! I clicked on low carb recipes & couldn't find readers recipes. Is it a forum or a thread? I looked in quick meals & snacks but couldn't find it there either. Help!!

shae

Shae,

Click low carb recipes on the orange bar. When the page opens, directly under the orange bar (above Karen's picture) it says "go to readers low carb recipes" - click on that and then you will find the recipe under "Snacks". It is near the bottom of the page. Hope that helps!
