[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just buy frozen apps from Trader Joe's. So much easier, and very tasty. [/quote]
DCUM often makes this recommendation but I've gone into TJ and come out empty-handed. Can anyone share TJ frozen apps that are holiday party worthy?[/quote]
No.  I can't share any because there aren't any.  They are all your basic frozen puff pastry, samosa, spanakopita, spring roll, processed dreck.

I have hosted several make-ahead cocktail parties.  Here is what I make ahead and then either reheat or just pull from fridge:
- meatballs (I make my own), serve with tzatziki or dill/mustard sauce
- devilled eggs (boil, peel, and make filling the day before).  Add filling and garnish day of.
- smoked salmon platter.  Arrange smoked salmon, sliced tomatoes, red onion, capers, lemon, and cream cheese on platter.  Serve with toasted bread or mini bagels.
- gougeres
- cheese and charcuterie
- dried fruit, pickled vegetables, nuts
- dips - eggplant, tirokafteri (spicy feta), romesco, with sliced crusty bread and/or raw veggies[/quote]
