Need some ideas for Poker Game foods
Okay - maybe it's just nerves but I'm drawing a big ole blank about this. My boyfriend plays poker on a regular basis and Monday night is his turn to host the fellas (and a I've not met any of these guys yet so that's where the nerves come in - I really want them to like me.
Any suggestions on tried and true foods? I can cook just about anything so just throw me some ideas.

We host a weekly poker game at our house. Now granted I'm feeding some big guys (none of who are down with my WLS friendly snacks) but I try to make them things that aren't too bad for them either. Some of things I've made are:
Baked chicken tenders with assorted sauces (BBQ, hot sauce, sweet & sour)
Potato skins (I cheat and use Low Fat cheese and turkey bacon with Low Fat Sour Cream, they never know the difference)
Bean dip (1 can of spicy refried beans, a pkg cream cheese, a pkg of shredded cheese, a pkg of taco mix, 1 small can of sliced black olives. Layer the beans, then mix the cream cheese and taco mix, layer that ontop of the beans, spread the black olives and top with cheese. Serve with tortilla chips, sometimes I buy the baked ones and tell them to suck it up.)
Baked ravioli's - they love love these.
Swedish Meatballs - I use Fat-Free Cream of Mushroom soup, add some Lipton Extra Beefy Onion soup mix. I cheat and use the premade turkey meatballs (they never know that either) and I cook them in the crockpot all day. So yummy.
Pepperoni Tortilla Pizza (a la Eggface)
Turkey Chili (only one guy has been able to tell it's turkey and he swore he would never let out the secret.)
And I always have a veggie tray.
Good luck and have fun. I'm sure they will love you regardless of what you're cookin :-) The guys that come to my place are like my big brothers - they pick on me and then get pissed when I take their money :-)
