Deviled eggs Meat rollups. Vary the meats and cheeses, you can add a veggie in the middle like olives or pickles. Maybe a little mustard too. I like Ham & Swill with a dab of honey mustard and a SF sweet pickle. Salami with cream chese - fold it up lit a little taco You could also do a wrap using butter lettuce. You could fill the middle with a burrito filling, chicken, chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. "Little smokie" sausages in BBQ Sauce. I found a low carb BBQ sauce. Just dump everything in a crock pot and serve with toothpicks. Same thing but with meatballs and marinara sauce. Suzanne
