I am hosting our Women's Ministry meeting tonight. I need some really simple snack ideas to have out, if it can be bought ready made that would be the best. I need at l east one to be gluten free. For some reason I am just drawing a blank as to what to have.
Any ideas will be considered and greatly appreciated, thank you.

I host Book Club every month and I always serve a shrimp ring with red sauce that is ready made ... The most popular snack is store bought bruschetta and sliced baguettes ... not gluten free but tasty if your local grocery store deli has a nice bruschetta like mine does  A nice wedge of brie with Mary's crackers is a hit as well ... they are gluten free  |

My Bible study ladies always love cheese, crackers, veggies, and fruit. I usually get GF crackers because you never know. Easy peasy!
For something heavier I would add something like chicken salad with mini croissants on the side so people can pick and choose what components they want.

All of the above. My grocery has a large selection of premade dips and cheese spreads that would be good with some crackers and/or veggies. Add some fruit. Maybe some summer sausage slices. Depends on how much you want to have an how healthy you want to get.

Tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa are gluten free. Or hummus with carrot and celery sticks.

When we go to friends houses to watch football/basketball, the things popular with everyone is vegetable tray, crackers/cheese/pepperoni, chips and dip, fruit salad. Fruit salad seems to be what all the guest fill their plate with first. I guess healthy eating is getting popular with our group of friends!
Cookies are also a hit!

I make a spicy bean dip that is almost no work.
Take a brick of cream cheese. Heat in a microwavable casserole dish until soft.
Spread cream cheese. Spread with spicy refried beans. Heat. Top with cheddar cheese or colby/jack combo. Melt.
Dip. Done. Serve with tortilla chips.
The original recipe calls for regular refried beans. Then add a can of green chiles on top. Then add the cheese.
Easy-peasy and usually gets gobbled up.

i'm currently craving hummus! gina And chicken salad on croissant. I rarely indulge, but if I do it's at meetings. It's not a dainty lady-like dip, but my girlfriends love warm Charleston Cheese dip, Trisha Yearwood recipe. |

Mushrooms stuffed with crumbled bacon and blue cheese, broiled. Check to see which blue cheese brands are GF; most in the US are, but some still use a gluten substrate to grow their mold.

Thanks, you all made me hungry now. I think I will stop at the store in town here, they have a broader selection of cheeses and GF crackers. I may have to try the bruschetta also, I haven't had that in a long time.
Thanks again.

Might have to try the spicy refried version - thanks for sharing. |
