'Over the Hill' ~ a happy 50th party

I would have to say searching for a 50th party appetizer/food ideas was hard so I thought I would share some of my own I came up with.

Fruit Skewers

I found the fruit that worked the best & looked the best were grapes, pineapple & watermellon

Basil tomato bocconcini Appetizer

Wrap 1 basil leave, 1 cherry tomato and half a piece of bocconcini cheese then insert toothpick.

When complete, spray with balsamic vinegar 

I also had greek yogurt spinach dip with whole grain flax chips

meatballs

and honey garlic sesame chicken

Recipe for honey garlic sesame chicken ~ crockpot style ~

5-6 chicken breasts frozen

salt & pepper

3/4-1 cup honey

1/2 cup soy sauce

4 tbsp diced onion

4 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp canola oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 6 tbsp water

Place chicken breasts in crockpot, season both sides of chicken with salt & pepper. In a small bowl combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pour over chicken.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours

Remove the chicken & cut into bite size pieces, leave sauce, and pour the cornstarch mix into the crockpot. Stir well, re-add chicken and cook for another 10 minutes or so until sauce has thickened.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds 

Over the hill cake!
