I'm up early (four hours sleep, ugh) to make some munchies for us to share at work tonight. Working 12 hour shifts back to back leave me scrambling for ideas for easy to make appetizers that will reheat well in a microwave. Nothing elegant nor difficult. Perfect "eat at work food" and I'm pleased I could come up with this on short notice. We didn't plan this impromptu party until we were all walking out to the parking garage at 7 AM this morning. Husband was going to the commissary this afternoon anyway so I was able to give him a list of needed items. I'm bringing chili con queso (simply made with Veveeta and Rotel) Chips to go along, Hot fudge sauce with marshmallows, bananas and apples to dip into it; Italian sausage cheese balls; Sparkling grape juice and baby carrots.
