I am searching for some ideas! I am having a Adult Birthday Party in a week and was wondering if you have a good recipe that works well without using the oven.

Colorful Pasta Salad

1 pkg multicolored noodles, cooked and drained
1 can black olives, drained
1 can green olives, drained
1 small package pine nuts
1 med red onion, chopped
1 pkg grape tomatoes
1 pkg provolone cheese, cut into small squares
1 pg pepperoni's
carrots, chopped
green peppers, chopped
red peppers, chopped
1 pkg dry Zesty Italian dressing (sprinkle onto hot pasta after draining pasta)
1 bottle Zesty Italian dressing, Pour onto salad and allow to marinate 1-2 hours before serving.

I like this because it can be made ahead. I usually don't have any leftovers.

Are you looking for slow cooker? BBQ? Smoker? or just appetizer type stuff? Microwave heating?

How fancy? Scallops wrapped in bacon can be put in microwave. Just pre-cook bacon slightly then wrap around scallops and nuke.

You can make precook some pasta, and spaghetti sauce. Then layer sauce, pasta, cheese onions and olives and repeat in your crock pot and set it on low. Kind of like a lasagna in a crocker. I've done that for years and have taken it to potlucks.

I am really looking for anything. Appitizer , crock pot dessert etc. I have been serving the same things for years and since the Board is great at sharing, I thought I would try here. Just whatever you would would make that is something that does not require heating up the house.

I make different versions of a dessert called "Ambrosia", often substituting plain yoghurt for the cream. No cooking, just mix all the ingredients together and chill in the fridge for two hours. It is even better the next day. You can vary the fruits.\The basic recipe can be found at the address below:

Seven layer dip is always good.

Check out the recipe area on this forum. There are a lot of lovely recipes there..not too sure how many are no oven, but probably lots. There is where my no bake Mini Cheeseburger cookies recipe is.
