Bacon Shrimp Cocktail: In a bowl join cooked, shelled shrimp (cut into chunks), some thinly sliced scallions, a join of slices of crispy cooked bacon (crumbled), some sour cream (enough to moisten), some fresh squeezed lemon juice and mix well. Serve this flavorful summer appetizer chilled in ready baked puff pastry shells with a slice of lemon on the side.

Olive Spread Stackers: Take some crispbread crackers and spread a layer of olive tapenade on each cracker then top with sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, a join of roasted red pepper strips, and a sprinkling of fresh chopped basil.

Ham and Cheese Roll-Up Appetizers: Take a slice of deli ham and place a thin slice of Swiss Cheese on top of the ham. Spread the cheese with a blend of sour cream and spicy mustard and a sprinkling of dried or fresh dill. Then place a thin breadstick (your popular flavor - plain, garlic, cheese, etc.) on top of the cheese near the edge and roll up tightly.

Creamy Potato Toppers: Take small red potatoes and cut into one-quarter inch thick slices. Steam until tender but not mushy, carefully take off from steamer, and place in ice water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process. take off from water, pat dry, and allow to cool completely, being faithful to keep each slice intact (refrigerate until ready to serve). In a bowl, join some ricotta cheese with some sour cream, a minute spicy mustard, chopped fresh chives, fresh grated lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and chill until ready to serve. Assemble this summer appetizer at serving time by spooning a mound of cheese blend on top of each potato slice, sprinkle a minute more chopped chives on top, and place on a serving plate.
