Snacking
Right
When guests arrive at
the tkx>r. it's a great time to puli out the
stops and serve a tasty appetizer or snack.
But why not treat your own family to a
flavorful treat any day of the week? With
these two easy and healthful recipes,
you'll be ready to serve a delicious snack
in no time at all.
Carolyn Cheek, of London, Ky., sent
us the recipe for Roll-Ups. "My daugh
ter gave me this recipe. It’s become
a favorite lor parties and family get
togethers,'' she says.
This recipe lends itself to endless
variations. It’s also great for back-to
school lunches because you can use
whatever meat and cheese your kids
prefer. If you'd like, you can skip the
meat altogether and add chopped green
or black olives, pimientos, sundried
tomatoes or fresh herbs.
The summer's harvest of fresh basil will
come in handy in the recipe for Tomato
Sauce and Garlic Toast Appetizer, sub
mitted by W. R. Valentine of Rogers City,
Mich. “Spoon the sauce onto garlic toast,
and serve some ripe red Italian olives on
the side," he suggests.
