BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN BITES and LAYERED SUNDRIED TOMATOES AND ARTICHOKE SPREAD

This was me, yesterday, flying through the store, with only minutes to spare (had to pick up teen daughter from work and teen son from school), and practically yelling, "Where is the canned pumpkin! Where IS IT!!" I was zooming thru the aisles like a mad woman...I'm sure I was a sight! :)

Update! Only 2, count them, TWO! days until Thanksgiving!!

Now that you have been reminded of how many days you have left to panic, I mean plan (HA!), I thought I would share my wonderful appetizer idea that I dreamed up just this morning. And, it does NOT include any of the ingredients of my post title.

Good Grief, Charlie Brown!!

I was on the Kraft Foods website, and I have one question: Who in the world dreamed up those ideas for "easy" appetizers!! Sundried tomatoes? Artichokes? Bacon-wrapped Chicken? I'm not a novice in the kitchen, have faithfully fed my family for 18 years now, completed 6 yrs. of Home-Ec (does that count as cooking experience?!), but I don't think that any recipe with sundried tomatoes counts as an easy appetizer.

Maybe it is just me, but if an appetizer/snack has more than 2 ingredients, doesn't that make it more of a meal?!

So, after carefully pondering my options for, say, 5 seconds, I told hubs that I have the PERFECT appetizer for Thanksgiving. TaDa...Here it is! Take one of the above mentioned crackers, squeeze some of the cheese onto the cracker, put the whole thing into your mouth at one time, and Enjoy!

There you have it! An "original" recipe from A.Marie's House of Easy Cooking! LOL

For those of you who are wonderful chefs, and cook daily with the ingredients that I have sort of made fun of in this post, I would like to know where you live so I can come over to your house for Thanksgiving!! :)

Enjoy your day! I am going to be finishing up my cleaning, getting out my dishes, and focusing on the whole reason for this upcoming holiday event....Thankfulness!!

I'm thankful for all of you bloggy pals!! :)
