So, late on Saturday afternoon, I received a phone call reminder about a broadcast taking place at the Church that night, and I remembered that I had agreed to bring an appetizer to share.
I totally forgot!!
So in a flurry and a panic I came up with a super quick appetizer idea that is not only cheap, but super cute too.
Start by chopping some veggies into sticks (or shapes as I did with the cucumbers)
And then I took plastic drinking cups. (the little ones, sold by the napkins and utensils etc) And scooped a little bit of dip in the bottom of each one.
Then you just start standing the veggie sticks in the dip cups.
I took my cucumber flower shape, cut a tiny little slit and put it on the side of the cup rim.
Then the next challenge was coming up with what to transport them in. Well, guess what. They fit perfectly in a mini muffin tin.
All full and pretty.
Super easy clean up. No dip to be scooped, cause it's already at the bottom of the cup for you. And of course you can choose whatever veggies you want. A fruit cup would be super yummy too.
Happy veggie choppin'.
You can totally eat asparagus raw. I don't think it tastes as great as being grilled but just as long as you cut off the tough end piece you're fine. :D

Wow- thanks for sharing all your brilliant ideas.
And is the asparagus raw? I had no idea you could eat it raw- if it is.
Seriously though-how do you find time to do all you do?
