These look so yummy 😋!
Great video except for the background music, which is good but distracting because it’s too loud.
4:16 At first, I thought she said "at a topless restaurant…" and I was like *GASP!* *starts fanning himself like an old lady at church and giving a shocked look* LOL!
It's great in roll shape coated with chili powder too .
Are the bacon wrapped dates ok room temperature?
Just adding my two cents here. 1 cup mayo, 1 cup parm and 1 cup chopped artichokes. Mix, bake and enjoy! Super easy and quick
It all sounds great!
oh lord, devils on horseback. Welcome to 1978

Wonderful recipes and excellent presentation. Recipes that are simple and flavorful really inspire confidence plus are great to share at the holidays with friends. This was a fun video as well as educational.
Mmmm, add some finely chopped ham and green onion to that first one and you're in business! I used to make that for every family or work gathering and it was always a hit!
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts are an NYE staple at my house!
Speaking of retro appetizers, I haven't seen clam dip since I was a child. Not only do I remember home made clam dip I also remember it ready-made in the grocery store.
Love these recipe videos. This ones great. Thanks
First of all, Christie I wanna eat your food. Also, watching this genuinely made me feel good. Everyone looked happy at the end. ❤
That totally looks like one of my holiday parties, but I am mixing it up this year. And yay to punch!
Loved this! Not only retro dips, but it makes my heart happy to see the folks "in the back room" out there eating the goods. 😉 Thanks!
Looks yummy!

Please lose the loud elevator music! Ruined a great video.
But she needs to lose weight Overweight people aren’t helping the planet and themselves
Why would you stuff a date and wrap it with bacon when you could use a jalapeno. Obviously, she is not Texan.
YUMMY! Planning on doing the spinach-artichock dip this weekend. Just had idea, what do you think about adding slivered almonds to it? Might add just a few to a small dish to try it!
I would wrap the cheese ball in bacon, then wrap it in dates.
Christie is great!! More videos with her!
I didn't realize they still made butterfly crackers. I've gotta look for them.
I was hoping our two favourite ladies would appear at the end. 😭🥰
We need more of Christie
If you are the cook, better set some of those bacon wrapped dates aside, because once you set them out, they will disappear in the blink of an eye. I know because I am the cook.
If you don't want to go to the trouble of making that cheese ball, a block of cream cheese with raspberry chipotle sauce poured over the top and served with crackers will also disappear very quickly. Better make two.
LOVE these appetizers and the upbeat jazzy music. Must watch again.
Tri-fecta of high cholesterol, maybe?
She’s a great host! Use her in more vids, please!
Those are nice snacks and I have to remember the recipes and make some when I get all the ingredients available.
For those dates maybe add a coating of maple syrup to the bacon preroll up…
Christie is absolutely adorable
Finally a down to earth presenter with a personality! We need more Christie videos!
