Cajun Jalapeno Chicken Poppers:
Cut the chicken breasts, crosswise into 1/2 inch strips, and season. Sprinkle the top of each square of cream cheese with the minced garlic. Cut each square of cream cheese in half, lengthwise, and then cut each half into 6 pieces for a total of 12 pieces per square. Stuff each pepper with a piece of cream cheese, and press down. Then press a chicken strip down on top of the cream cheese. Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon and hold in place with a toothpick. On an oiled grilling surface, grill away from direct heat for about 10 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked.
Grilled Andouille Sausage Bites:
Grill sausage links on medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes on each side, basting with bbq sauce. Slice into 1/2 inch slices, insert toothpicks, and arrange on a platter.
Hot Cheesy Beer Dip:
Combine all ingredients, except beer, in large microwave bowl. Add beer to desired consistency. Mix well. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir and continue to microwave for 2 more minutes. Mix well and serve with sausage bites. Makes 4 cups.
French Bread Pizza:
Saute the garlic and green onions in the olive oil for 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree, parsley and seasonings, and cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Place bread, crust side down on a large cookie sheet. Spread Creole sauce evenly over the two French bread halves. Layer veggies, starting with the mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. Add cheese, then pepperoni, shrimp, olives, and jalapenos. Top with a little more cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Cut each half into 10, 2 inch wide servings.
