Salad:
- Baby leaf lettuce
- Diced apple
- Sliced grapes
- Mandarin oranges
- Pecans
- Drizzle poppyseed dressing or raspberry vinaigrette!
- Also, add cranberries (which I forgot).
I call them loaded potato cups.
- Boil small red or white potatoes until tender
- Place in an oil sprayed muffin tin, smash the potato in center to form a well
- Place 1tsp sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon bits.
- Place in a hot oven until cheese is melted.
The shrimp cocktail was one of those small frozen round trays on sale plus I had a coupon!

OMG, everything was delicious and I’d say this was prepared and ready to serve in less than 30 minutes.
I’ll guesstimate it cost me around $20.
In a restaurant it would be triple $.
