Bacon Wrapped Dates (my recipe):
1 Pound of Sliced Bacon – cut in thirds

If your dates have pits, remove those first. Split the date open with a knife. Add 1 tsp of goat cheese into each date. Cut your bacon in thirds. Wrap each date with bacon. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until bacon is completely cooked.

5 Avocados, peeled & diced

[Music] I love making appetizers and I love eating them even more I enjoy the entertainment of it having friends over or going to another person’s home to eat and enjoy appetizers together they’re the best way to eat they’re my favorite thing to eat at a restaurant I just love them because they
Offer that variety and they offer the different textures and flavors everything from sweet salty Savory Tangy spicy you get it all and that’s what I’m hoping to do with the appetizers I’m whipping up for some guests I’m having over now these appetizers could be made whether you’re
Having a fancy event whether you’re having like a special occasion or like Super Bowl these would be great for Super Bowl or if you just want to make a meal on the weekend for your family these will work for that just as well so let’s get into the kitchen let’s get
Started I am excited to show you what I’ve got let’s go the first appetizer we’re making is this sushi bake if you like sushi you’re going to love this it is the easy way to make sushi
With all the same flavors we’re going to first start with our rice this is two cups of rice I am rinsing it until the water runs clear and then I’m going to add it to my quick cooker
And I’m going to add to that two and 1/2 cups of water I’m going to give it a quick stir and then I’m going to put the lid on and make sure that my quick release is fully closed and then
I’m going to put it on the rice setting and that’s all there is to it one once our rice is completely cooked we’re going to grab a baking dish and we’re going to make the seasoning mix for our
Rice it includes 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar 1 tbspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt I’m going to mix that together and then put it in the microwave for 30 seconds until the sugar
And the salt are dissolved looks like we’re good I’m going to pour this on top of that rice now the recipe actually called for two tablespoons of sugar where I only used one I wanted it to
Be less less sweet and have just a little less sugar content but I don’t think it’s going to matter because you’re just trying to have a little bit of salt and a little bit of sweetness in your
Sushi rice now I’m going to add some white sesame seeds and I’m going to fold those in as well okay we’re going to put this in our dish this is a 9×13 dish that I’ve sprayed with some olive oil
Spray now that my right is in a flat layer it’s time for the next layer of our crab mixture one pound of flaky crab that I’m going to take out and break apart and I am going to finally chop
Into itty bitty pieces I started doing this and got about halfway through when I realized I should be using my pampered chef manual chopper for this it’s a perfect tool for this [Music] job to to our minced crab we’re adding 1/4 cup of Kewpie mayonnaise, Kewpie is a Japanese mayo
And it really is worth it if you can find this it has that great Umami flavor that really makes the sushi and I’m adding about 1 teaspoon of sriracha if you like things a little spicier by all means
Add a little bit more but I like it a little more on the mild side so I’m going to stir that in and I noticed about Sriracha it used to be like the most popular ingredient everything was Sriracha
Flavored but actually now it’s a little bit harder to find but when you do you do want to add it into this dish now I made this the night before the actual event so what I’m doing now is I’m just
Going to beat up one egg and I’m going to put that to the side and keep it in the fridge and mix it right before the party begins that way my crab mixture is not sitting in the fridge for a
Day with that egg in it here it is the day of the party I am now ready to add that egg into the crab mixture get that all Blended now I’m adding this special ingredient on top to of my rice this is
Fake and it is a Japanese multi-purpose seasoning it contains white and black sesame seeds Nori so some black seaweed some salt and kelp powder it’s going to give it that authentic Sushi flavoring I was able to find this at my local Walmart so hopefully this is an accessible ingredient I
Think it just adds that Umami and that special flavoring that really gives it that authentic Sushi taste so if you can find it great if not I wouldn’t worry about it maybe get black sesame seeds or white sesame seeds to put on top I went ahead and put my crab mixture and then
I did another little sprinkle of our fruikake I then am drizzling on top the kewpie Mayo as well as I’m going to put a little bit of the Sriracha this is to make it visually pleasing as well as
Add a little bit more of those flavors into the sushi I am just putting a little drizzle to that Sriracha trying to not have it too spicy and look how great it looks into the oven 350° it goes for
35 minutes and wait a second what is he doing he’s stealing a shrimp that’s what happens when you turn your back and you leave the appetizers unattended too funny this Sushi bake turned out fantastic everybody loved it I just served it with some cucumbers green onions and Nori sheets on the
Side we are now going to make a Savory brie sundried Tomatoes pesto my large brie wheel and some parsley for garnish first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to score our brie cheese the reason I’m scoring the cheese is because the oil from the tomatoes and
The pasta will just ooze and seep into the cheese making it even more [Music] flavorful I’m cutting the sundried tomatoes into smaller pieces and I’m doing this on parchment paper cuz that oil can tend to stain your cutting board so I am doing it on this paper instead I’m
Going to add about a tablespoon of minced garlic to the tomatoes and then I’m going to drizzle just a little bit of that oil to help with the consistency I decided to step it up and use our
Good pesto this comes from fences we get it at the farmers market when we can’t get it there we order it online it’s our favorite it’s lemon pesto so I’m actually going to use that on our brie I give
The pesto a good stir because that oil usually sits on top and now I’m just going to spread it entirely over the brie wheel and then I’m going to add the sundried tomatoes on top of that I’m going
To get a good layer making sure it’s completely coated and then I am going to wrap this up because I’m not ready to heat it until the day of the party so I’m going to wrap it in the parchment
Paper and then wrap that in Saran Wrap and put that in the fridge until I’m ready to bake it to go with that Bree I want to have toasted baguette slices I’m going to prepare this in advance what
I’m going to do is just slice up the baguette and put it in a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge until the day of the party then I’ll take it out and I have the Pampered Chef entertainment wear
So I can cook the baguette and the Bree all on the same platter and put it in the oven and bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes this turned out so delicious and it was so easy to make the flavors
Are perfect now let’s make our jalapeno popper bites we start with one block of cream cheese add one cup of cheddar cheese a/4 cup of pickled jalapenos half a cup of diced bacon bits and two tablespoons of green onions I’m also going to add about a teaspoon of some garlic powder if
You don’t have pickled jalapenos you can use regular or any kind of jalapeno you want based on the heat level you prefer I give that a good stir until everything is combined and now I’m
Ready to make our cups with these wonton wrappers I coat them with oil and put them in my muffin tin we’re going to bake them at 350 for about 6 minutes till they get crisp and now I’m going to
Take my filling and put one medium scoop with my scooper from pampered chef into each of those won [Music] wrappers back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes and you end up with the perfect bite
Oh my gosh everyone loved this so much they all wanted the recipe next up we’re making meatballs because you can’t have a party without some sort of Meatball variation and this time we’re going sweet and tangy okay we’re making our sweet and tangy sauce for our meatballs we’re going to
Start with 2/3 a cup of our hoison sauce 1/4 a cup of soy sauce 1/4 a cup of rice vinegar about 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and about a tablespoon of sriracha we’re going to get that
To a boil I’m going to go ahead and double the recipe I decided it needed more so another 2/3 of hoison soy sauce that was a four a cup so now it’s a total of a half of soy sauce a little more
Garlic and Sriracha four a cup of vinegar so we’re going to make a lot of Meatballs I get that up to a simmer and that’s what’s so great about the Pampered Chef everyday rock rock pan
Is that you can make the sauce on the stove add your frozen meatballs and you’re just going to take that entire everyday pan and insert it into the base of the slow cooker I just stirred them
In with that sauce and now I’m going to put them on high cuz they’re frozen so we’ll do high for Just 2 hours check on them and then move them to warm cuz they should be heated through at
That point the next appetizer we’re making is this crab rangoon dip and we’re going to serve it with won chips so we’ll start with our won wraps that I’m going to put on a cookie sheet
And spray with olive oil spray and use my pastry brush to get that olive oil all on the wrap I’m going to sprinkle it with garlic salt and then I’m using a pizza cutter to cut them in half that way
They’re more dippable you put them in the oven for about 5 minutes and you got to watch these they can burn so easily and even catch on fire I’ve heard so do stay with them the whole time I
Coated one batch with sesame oil and sesame seeds to give it a little variation then I store them in a plastic bag and I’m going to keep them on the counter until the day of the party and serve it
With our dip let’s go ahead and make that dip we’re adding to our Bowl one block of softened cream cheese a half a cup of mayonnaise and a/4 a cup of sour cream 1 teaspoon of worcestshire
Sauce and 1 tbspoon of lemon juice mix on medium high with your hand mixer for about 2 minutes nice and fluffy now to our bowl we’re going to add our two cans of white crab
Meat give that a quick stir to get all that crab meat mixed in and then we’re going to add A4 of a cup of fresh parmesan cheese a half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and then we also have
A3 a cup of mozzarella reserved for the top right before baking I’m adding half a tablespoon of minced garlic and then I’m just going to combine everything again before adding to our dish I have
This entertainment wear what it is is a ceramic dish goes in the center and it sits on a hot plate so connects like that and it has an on/off switch so it stays warm on that hot plate I’ll cook this
Tomorrow in the oven with that extra mozzarella on top and then during the party we’ll keep it on our Warmer this dip turned out so delicious and so creamy and it was those wonton chips that took it up a notch you definitely want to make them with this dip next up we’re making hogs in a blanket we’re going to take one package of beef smoked sausage that’s already been cooked and
We’re going to cut it into four equal lengths now what is so great about this recipe is the size of which you’re going to have these rolls I love any variation on pigs in a blanket and this
Is just a little bit different so you’re going to have one package of crescent rolls and you’re going to divide it into your four sections and then you’re going to make sure you flatten it and have all of the seams pinched together that way when you roll up your sausage link no tears
Or holes appear so roll that up tightly and put it on a tray until you’re ready to cut It you’re going to bake these at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown I served it with a honey mustard sauce and the only thing I regret was not making more up next we’re making bacon wrap dates I make this usually at every party what I’m doing now is
Taking out the pits because when you get them from Aldi they do come with pits in them so I do want to remove those first I’m putting goat cheese but you can be creative with any cheese you can use blue cheese havarti swiss cheese whatever you like and that’s
How you can make it different each time I am going to add those in and I’m going to wrap it now with my bacon I start by cutting the bacon into thirds and then we roll them all Up I like to cook these in the air fryer for about 8 to 10 minutes cuz then they get extra crispy and that’s my favorite they are the best the last thing I’m making which is the item I make every
Single party is my homemade guacamole this is five avocados tomatoes garlic lime juice salt and cilantro I have added all the recipes below in the description box another thing you can do is throw
In a dip from Sam’s or Costco into a crock pot and also a shrimp ring would be a fabulous easy throw on the table appetizer oh yeah we also made tenderloin that day everything turned out so great
