But this time around I was in a hurry and served them in the Tostito Scoops the recipe called for. I first made these for friends a few weeks ago for a small women’s basketball viewing party and I experimented with using homemade phyllo and puff pastry cups as the shells, which worked well. Shrimp chasing their tails also form rings, so our third appetizer is Chile Lime Shrimp Bites. Bagel rounds would be the perfect accompaniment for the brie but none were to be found at the store, so I dished up a variety of round crackers in their stead. The nuts can be made several weeks in advance and leftovers make a tasty afternoon snack or a great addition to salads. So here’s my menu for this year’s celebration:įoods in the shape of a ring or circle are thought to bring good luck, so our centerpiece is a brie wheel, baked in the oven, topped with honey and a cranberry-pomegranate sauce and garnished with a sprig of rosemary (still going strong in my herb garden) and our second recipe - the Sweet, Spicy and Salty Pecans. And while it’s nice to know you can make your own puff pastry, phyllo cups, crackers and guacamole, there’s no reason not to go with Tostito’s Scoops, store-bought guac and sheet puff pastry during a hectic holiday week. Most have components that can be made in advance of the actual day, if not the full dish, so that you just have do a little assembly or add some finishing touches when it's party time. All of today's recipes have been chosen to minimize time spent in the kitchen during a season when you’re often likely to be busy elsewhere.
