This is the classic Southern treat, made special for a BBQ! Add a cracker and this works as a dip or a stand alone appetizer.

The classic Southern Cheese Dip gets a New Orleans make over...

Not difficult at all but makes your BBQ Special in so many ways... This is a little hard to categorize as these work equally well as a condiment or a dessert. Slap one of these bad boys on a burger to create an Hawaiian Hamburger or grill this and serve as is (Sweet pineapple turns into SUPER Sweet Pineapple when grilled) for dessert. Or add some ice cream and the perfect summer treat!

Antipasto All'Italiana
These "party trays" are usually reserved for a party.
Selections of various meats, cheeses, maybe a Bruschetta (toast with a topping). They are ideal for a party since all of the work can be done before the guests arrive.

It gives the hosts a chance to make sure drinks are served and the evening starts relaxed. The course can easily take 30 minutes or more allowing late arriving guests to make the party and meet any new friends they have not yet met.

A trip to our local farmer's Market gave me the inspiration for an incredibly colorful treat! Black beans for Protein, plus simply loaded with Fruit and vegetable goodness (even Pineapple and Mango). This has it all and is as healthy and delicious as it is beautiful!
Cloink Balls (Cluck + Oink = CloinkBACON wrapped Chicken Sausages with BBQ Dip
Amazing in their simplicity yet about the most delicious of appetizers. A new take on the legendary Moink Balls. But with more healthy version with chicken! Be sure to make the suggested dip, sweet as can be with hints of spicy deliciousness. These are GREAT crowd Pleasers!
Here's something just painfully simple yet truly adds something special to your spread. Artisan Cheese sellers will charge you double for ingredients probably in your pantry right now. Just pick up a log of soft goat cheese, whip in a bit of honey and rosemary to taste and bingo bango bongo...
Double the cost taste for half the price from your wallet!.

Yeah yeah, I know terrible name. In polite circles these are also called Hawaiian ATBs. My back yard is not as polite as it should be.
The roasting of the Jalapeno brings out the natural sugars found in all vegetables. That plus the combination of the cream cheese mixed with sweet pineapple creates a balance of the remaining heat and the sweet (alnog with the savory BACON... Could these be the perfect culinary combo?
