Shrimp cocktail

Or something you can put in the microwave, like a spinach/artichoke dip you just nuke. TJs has one.

Crockpot meatballs (jelly, ketchup or bbq sauce)

Besides charcuterie?

I've never been successful at actually having the meal ready at the time I'm aiming for (not enough practice) and some of these people get hangry. Any ideas?

Thanks
