Little smokies sausages in a crock pot and BBQ sauce or sweet and sour sauce, I used to mix both sauces. Put a container of toothpicks there so people can spear one.

Also easy and good are tortilla roll ups, you can use different ingredients in them. Google tortilla roll ups or on pinterest. Search pinterest for pool party snacks.

Ijust thought, since it is a great time to get fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and Vidalia onions, I make a salad every one loves. Cut up pretty chunky bite size several tomatoes and peeled cukes and a Vidalia onion or other sweet onion, put in a large bowl, add a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or your favorite vinegar, and about 3/4 cup or so of a good ranch dressing add fresh ground pepper and salt and if you have some fresh green onions chop some and add those too. Stir it up well, taste to see if you need more of something, cover and put it in the fridge, serve chilled. It's wonderful on a warm day.

Mmmmm. Sounds good, Raven. The Pinterest link was dead for me, but I'll do a search from within Pinterest on them.

bite size pieces of cold watermelon

It's not the onion ones although they sound good too. It is by Jessica the novice chef and uses meatballs, a tube of homestyle biscuits and some marinara sauce. Stuff meatball into the biscuit dough...

Well, this does have 3 T of mayo in it, and some cheese, but my niece made this last weekend and it was so very yummy! Here's a link to the recipe. It's called Mexican Street Corn Salad, the website is six sisters stuff dot com

Stuffed baby tomatoes and tri-colored baby peppers! I like a cream cheese/yogurt combo with chopped chives, dill, and parsley.....or another combination of yummy cheeses.

Keep on ice, skewer with picks.

I also like marinated mozzarella balls, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes, all served on the same pick.

Everything has to be chilled, though.

Caprese skewers, mac and cheese in prosciutto cups baked in mini muffin tins, artichoke dip in phyllo cups, jalapeno popppers, mini cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches

You'll love these!

One more and I have actually served this couple times.

Bloody Mater Bites

Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes

2 Tbsp louisiana hot sauce I don't use

1 c vodka

2 Tbsp lemon pepper

2 Tbsp celery salt

DirectionsStep-By-Step

1Remove the stems from the tomatoes, and poke small holes around with a toothpick and place them in a shallow bowl. Pour vodka over them so that they are covered. Stir in the hot pepper sauce. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2To serve, mix together the lemon pepper and celery salt in a small dish. Serve tomatoes floating in vodka. Provide toothpicks so that your guests may pick up the tomatoes and dip them in the seasoning before eating.

3Second version: Dip the 1 pint cherry tomatoes in boiling water, then plunge into ice water. Peel. Place in container with tight lid. Cover with 1 cup vodka. Chill overnight. Serve with salt in dish for dipping.

Strawberreis that you dip in sour cream and raw brown sugar. Sounds weird. Very, very tasty.

Pigs in a blanket. Crescent rolls wrapped around Lil Smokies. Dipping sauce on the side. I like slicing hot dogs down the center, put a slice of cheese in there then wrap with bacon and bake for 30 minutes. Smokies work for this too, dipped in sauce as well.

You folks are the best! But I knew that. Super, super ideas. I will likely make a couple of these for Friday night and definitely others throughout the rest of the summer. Thank you, thank you!

I love Nicole's pigs in the blanket with cheese and bacon. Also, I like Figs in a Blanket. Okay. I just made up the name. But, I went to a friends house and she had wrapped dates and figs with proscuitto and baked in oven. It all carmelized into a mouthful of yummy goodness.

Very Dirty Martini Olives

Get whatever olive blend you like from the Olive Bar at the grocery store.

Rinse them well (to remove some of the saltiness), put them in a sauce pan and let them simmer in some good (Grey Goose) Vodka with a spritz of dry vermouth. Drain slightly, leaving some good martini behind, chill, and serve with toothpicks. Keeps indefinitely in the fridge!

Glenda! My Mom used to makes these. Totally forgot about them. So good. I think I will make these this week. I'm glad you shared.

I've done Glenda's Bloody Mary tomatoes and they are always a hit! Also, the little balls of fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and a leaf of basil. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar and olive oil and a good salt over all. It's pretty too!
