One of the best ways to enjoy life and live a little is to have spontaneous get-togethers. Of course, not all of us are born hostesses who can throw together a party in an instant. Some of us have to wing it.
In my youth, entertaining used to be pretty simple- buy a twelve pack and a couple of bags of chips or uncork a bottle of wine. Now it's all about cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. I maintain, however, that foodie doesn't need to be fancy. As long as it looks moderately appetizing and tastes fantastic, your friends will be happy.
Here's the easiest, quickest, gourmet-ish snack you can make. Take one bottle of Fischer & Wieser Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle sauce. Pour about 1/4 of it over a block of cream cheese on a pretty platter. Surround with crackers. Devour.
The last time I did this, we went through two blocks of cream cheese. Nom. This stuff is also unbelievable for leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches. They sent a copy of their catalog along with this bottle of sauce and I want literally one of everything. Perfect pantry goods for insta-parties!
