Make ahead apps

[specialk]

I know people have posted about this a million times, but my search function isn't working so please take pity on me.

I have 6 people coming over on Mother's Day, and no DH this weekend to help wrangle DS while I cook and clean, so I am looking for app ideas that are easy to make ahead of time. Reheating/baking once people get there is fine as I can probably throw the baby at someone while I do that.

This is a really good dip recipe. Serve with pita chips

Greek dip recipe 3 Roma tomatoes diced - 4 to 5 green onions sliced thin - 3 to 4 teaspoons Greek seasoning - 8 oz crumble feta cheese 1/4 cup olive oil - mix together

Also grape jelly meatballs in the crock pot, although people seem to love them or hate them. Team Love Them!

I had a party this weekend and made the following ahead of time:
prosciutto-wrapped melon
pasta salad
buffalo chicken dip
spinach artichoke dip
bourbon meatballs
shrimp cocktail (..kind of. haha)

I know I'm forgetting some things.

bacon-wrapped water chestnuts can also be made and cooked ahead of time.. just heat it up when people get there.

I've made these ahead before and just thrown them in the oven as people showed up: www.skinnytaste.com/2013/12/baked-mini-spinach-and-sausage-arancini.html#_a5y_p=1105283

Another thought: Balls of buffalo mozzarella, a cherry tomato, and a piece of basil on a toothpick. Can't get any easier than that.

Pasta salad? No reheating required.

Sorry this is sort've detracting even further away from your app request, BUT this is the recipe for the best pasta salad ever, & it has meats, so it's more filling, & it's even better, the longer it marinates in the dressing:

(I'll be back w/ other ideas;) )
