Yes, I prefer the red pepper jelly over the cream cheese, so good. You got me craving some now. I just like cocktail sauce over chilled shrimp. Think I will had this to my list for New Years eve.

Frozen spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese in phyllo dough)..........so easy to bake in oven and can taste as good lukewarm or room temp as they do when hot.

Costco has some very good ones.

Great for vegetarians.  Phyllo dough is so thin and crispy that you don't feel overloaded with carbs.

@jannabelle1 cheese, sauce, crab on crackers sounds good, like a bit of summer in winter!

@Solar Is My Name I hadn't seen @jannabelle1's post before I posted mine.  That crabmeat/cream cheese/cocktail sauce crackers are delicious, love!

I always have a vegetable plate and serve it with a mixture of sour cream & ranch dressing.  We also like a cheese and summer sausage tray with butter crackers on the side.  I also serve a block of cream cheese topped with a mix of catchup & horseradish (cocktail sauce!) and sprinkled with a tin of tiny shrimp which has been drained.  A nice cheese ball is always good and a bowl of bunches of grapes is also a nice alternative.
