Down here in the south we go for cream cheese, love that stuff. In a pretty serving bowl, not too big, put one 8oz pkg of cream cheese, pour over the top a jar of Capt Greys Chutney; or a bottle of good salsa, serve salsa with Frito Scoops; for the chutney either trimmed crusty toast or wheat thins or whatever crackers/ breads you prefer.
bring cream cheese to room temp, then mix in some good mayonnaise till smooth, spread on toast crisps or a hearty bread cut into small squares or triangles or whatever cookie cutter you have; then top with sliced hot house cucumbers and serve open face. Down here you can hardly have a wedding without these "cucumber cookies" as my brother used to call them.
Soften 8 oz cream cheese, mix with drained crushed pineapple and a little mayonnaise; spread on bread cuts, toast, crackers, your choice, and put on a pretty plate to serve.
Use Lil Smokies, wrap with puff pastry triangles or trimmed down crecent rolls, bake until golden, then serve with or without a dip, honey mustard is usually good.
Marinated mozzarella, grape tomato, basil leaf stuck on a pick, lay crossways on serving plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar cooked down a bit, just before serving.
Thread on skewer cube of fully cooked ham, square of cheese and an olive and lay down on serving plates.
Hope this will help you
