AW 'ing my awesomeness. (NTTGPR)

We were invited to a party this afternoon... I saw the FB invite this morning. I asked what we could bring and hoped the would say a dessert because I always have stuff for cookies. Nope.. an appetizer is what was requested. Haven't been shopping because we will be away this week. So, using what I had I threw together the best mini quiches!

Turkey bacon, carmellized onions, gruyere and brie in a gruyere crust. Go me!

So as not to be a complete AW, share your "in a pinch" stories!

Edit because words

That sounds delicious!

In a pinch, I always make my bacon deviled eggs. Who doesn't always have eggs in the fridge.

@KatzKiss Do you just add bacon to the yolk?

KatzKiss

I mix a little mayo, sour cream, mustard powder, white vinegar, paprika, and fresh bacon bits with the yolk. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with bacon bits and paprika.

That sounds really yummy! I usually also go with bringing wine. I usually shop as needed so that we don't throw way fresh things that spoil so I don't always have much on hand.

Why no PIP?!

For entrees I bring my amazing baked ziti. Trick: use sour cream instead of ricotta cheese. Amazing.

I've never brought appetizers to a party cause everyone wants the ziti but for parties here I usually do caprese bites. We almost always have what I need except basil leaves.

I bring booze. Because class. But if given enough time, I make fancy jello shots. Like the rainbow cherry shots I made for Pride.

I thought Pride was next week. What did you do to celebrate?

@janda426‌ I can only be so awesome. If I had remembered the PIP I would have exceeded my quota for the day

Those quiches sound SO good! Nice in a pinch dish!

My yummy go-to is a fruit salad that people always love. It's super simple: I chop strawberries, apples, bananas, mix them with a can of pineapple chunks (I soak the chopped apples and bananas in the leftover pineapple juice so they don't brown) and the perfect "secret ingredient:" a can of peach pie filling. Then I sprinkle some blueberries or kiwi slices on top so it looks pretty.

That's awesome! I totally suck at making quiche.
Hmmm... in a pinch dish. I would say my lemon drop cookies. Everybody who has ever had them LOVES them, and they aee probably the easiest recipie I have!
