Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms For our last several family gatherings we’ve decided our dinner menu would be a vast array of appetizers. We all, kids through Grammy and Granddaddy, love finger foods and this way no one is a slave to the kitchen. As each family comes through the door the assortment grows and a new round of grazing ensues. It’s fabulous.

Cool Ranch Jalapeño Poppers {just for fun}
We found the nicest bag of jalapeños at our wholesale club on Saturday and decided to try our hand at making Jalapeño Poppers.

Crab Rangoon {with Sweet and Sour Sauce}
Back in the days of apartment living when Chinese food takeout seemed to be a weekly occurrence….we’d always say yes to “do you want to add an order of Crab Rangoon with that?” They’re so good and as we later discovered, remarkably easy to make.
