Girls Night… In!

Going out for drinks with the girls is always fun, but sometimes the noise, the cost, and the annoying interruptions make it a little tough to really talk. Invite up some friends and put together this menu of easy tempters instead.

The loaded hummus is simple store-bought hummus revved up with coarsely chopped Greek olives, English cucumbers and tomatoes topped with feta cheese. Drizzle a little olive oil for gloss. Serve with pita bread or crisps.

The mini beef sandwiches are made with toasted french bread slices topped with horseradish dip, thinly sliced deli beef and sprinkled with coarsely ground pepper.
