Party Panache, Last Last Minute
We usually have a last last minute party, right before Christmas with just a few friends
It’s very simple, all finger food and the other night we gathered around the piano and had a little Christmas fun…
Leo came in decked out in his holiday finest, and played while we noshed and sipped
Here are the recipes we enjoyed this year, some tried and true favorites from the Painted Apron archives, and a couple of new ones! They are all easy enough to whip up at the very last minute!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Garlic and Bacon Dip is always a hit and you can roast the brussels sprouts, bacon and garlic at the same time, easy peasy. Even non brussels sprouts eaters will love it
Sausage Hash Brown Balls from Plain Chicken are an updated version of regular sausage balls and you can make the dough in your stand mixer using a dough hook. These are a new favorite
Teriyaki Tenderloin is standard party fare at our house, grill it and slice it before your guests arrive and serve it at room temperature. I served regular canned biscuits, cut into star shapes with a cookie cutter, along side
Teriyaki Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 1 pkg dry Onion Soup Mix [Lipton’s]
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2-1 bottle cooking sherry [1 cup]
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 T sesame oil
- filet mignon, beef or pork tenderloin
Instructions
- Mix ingredients together and pour over filet mignon, beef or pork tenderloin in a deep dish [Or just put everything in a large ziplock and add meat] Marinate overnight or up to 48 hours.
Rotel Pies have been floating around Pinterest and are embarrassingly easy to make~and very hard to resist
You can leave a chilled dessert out on a buffet by setting them on a tray atop a dish of ice or freezer packs, which I covered with foil
The parfaits happily stayed cool for hours
Sausage Hash Brown Balls

- 1 lb pork sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick

Love your holiday fare Jenna! The sausage balls with the addition of the hash browns and cream cheese is a new twist to me and definitely something I could sink my teeth into! I haven’t seen the rotel cups on Pinterest but I’m a big fan of those Fillo cups from the freezer section for easy entertaining. Sending Merry Christmas Week Wishes to you and your Sippy Cup Crew 🙂
The Rotel Pies sound like something I need to make Jenna! Merry Christmas Week-have fun:@)
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Looks wonderful and looks like lots of fun!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jenna!
What a fun and delicious party. Everything looks just wonderful! I know a good time was had by all!
What fun!! And delicious-looking too! I’m checking out a few of these recipes to save for later. I’m especially fond of anything peppermint and chocolate so you can bet what I’m most interested in. However, I’m not a huge fan of spinach dips (no cooked spinach for me) but I LOVE brussel sprouts so that dip sounds amazing!!
Thanks Hope, you’ve got to try the brussels sprout dip, it’s awesome!
What a wonderful party Jenna! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome post with our special edition of Full Plate Thursday. Hope you are enjoying your holidays and look forward to seeing you soon!
