Hummus is a very healthy snack, full of vitamins and proteins. It also is very yummy. Great on crackers, peppers, mushrooms and bread.



 

Sausage Biscuits


Sausage biscuits are a super easy, cheesy, fun treat! Great finger food!

Take 1 pound spicy or hot sausage (even if you are a mild spice eater, in a biscuit the heat disappears and the spicy is needed to give flavor)
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese (if you aren’t a sharp fan same thing applies here)
3 cups Bisquick
**Optional green onions, or jalapeno peppers

Mix all three ingredients form into balls bake on cookie sheet on 400 for about 15-20 mins. You can eat warm, once cooled freeze in Ziplock bags for up to 3 months and nuke 30 second or so. As always enjoy!

Bacon Wrapped Dates

Bacon wrapped dates are a unique and fun appetizer, the perfect combination of sweet and salty.These little joys are so easy to make, just take pitted dates, wrap in bacon secure with toothpick (which works great for serving) and bake on 425 on a baking sheet on top of wax paper till bacon is crisp. The date turns soft like a raisin. Most people like these, even if they think they won’t! Some popular variations include adding almonds and or feta and or blue cheese to the middle of the date before wrapping it and baking it.
