Recipe Number 2 Li’l Smokies From: JudyOR Servings:
Ingredients:	Directions:
·	One package of Li'l Smokies Sauce made of half Chili Sauce and half Orange Marmalade. (I've also heard of people using grape jelly and other flavors of Jelly, too, but the marmalade isn't so sweet and I like it.) Mix chili sauce and marmalade together; then stir in Li'l Smokies. Cover lightly with waxed paper or plastic wrap that will go in the microwave and heat on high until they are as hot as you like. Serve with toothpicks!

Recipe Number 3 New Year’s Appetizers From: QuiltsRFun Servings:
Ingredients:	Directions:
·	Town House crackers with peanut butter on them coated with almond bark. YUMYUM! I haven't tried them with the chocolate bark but I'm sure they're good too. DH/kids like salsa with some Velveeta cheese mixed in (heat all until cheese is melted). Use as a dip for tortilla chips. DD(6) likes popcorn chicken and dips them in Ranch dressing. Makes her happy, LOL. I like the Lil' Smokies too but I just heat them to eat. I like the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots dipped in vegetable dip. Plain natural popcorn/no butter

Recipe Number 4 More New Year’s Appetizers From: Spamby Servings:
Ingredients:	Directions:
·  2 packages cream cheese, softened	My DH's sister made something similar to this a few years back and we make it every year now. I made it a few hours ago so the flavors really get mixed together well so it will be super tasty when the time comes. I'm not sure what to call it but I made it with 2 packages of cream cheese, softened so you can mix stuff into it, 2 packages of dried beef cut up into small pieces, just a little bit of very chopped up onion, maybe a scant tablespoon and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Mix it all together and spread it on townhouse crackers. It's different but pretty tasty.

·  Scant tablespoon chopped onion

Recipe Number 5 Meatballs From: JudyTX
Ingredients:	Directions:
·  Heinz Chili Sauce	This isn't really a "recipe", but I use my crock pot (once in a blue moon) for meat balls with a sauce of equal parts of Heinz Chili Sauce (white label on tall bottle-type jar) and plain ole grape jelly. I get bags of meat balls at Sam's, bake them on a cookie sheet, then mix the chili sauce and grape jelly together with a fork or whisk and put everything in the crock pot to stay warm. There have been times when I could not find the Heinz Chili Sauce at the store and I have used Heinz 57 steak sauce. The Smith family in MO makes short lives of those meatballs when we get together. And even my son-in-law likes them!!!

Recipe Number 7 Polish Sausage From: Peggy in Maine
Ingredients:	Directions:
·	I do the Chili sauce/grape jelly thing with Polish Sausage cut up.
·

Recipe Number 8 No-Name Dip From: JudyTX
Ingredients:	Directions:
· 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used sharp)	Another recipe for "Dec." This is for a dip/spread. Actually, it is too thin to make a good dip, but it is great on crackers or thinly sliced deli meats and rolled up. And, it doesn't have a name---it just came from the beauty shop. Mix everything together and let it set overnight. Just before serving, spread a sm. jar of Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves over the top.
· 1 cup mayonnaise (and trust me, Hellman's works best)
· 1 cup finely chopped green onions, including the green tops
· 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
