Roasted Gorgonzola Crackers
These are full of flavor. Definitely a great choice if you want to skip out on the cheeses or you can pair with mild cheese.

Party Size Mini Meatballs
I bring these to potluck parties and they always go fast. They are super easy to make. Just buy the frozen pack and some toothpicks or add one one of TJ's sauces to spice it up a bit.

Crab & Langostino Rangoon
This new addition to TJs frozen aisle sounds delish - an easy hors d'oeuvre that will surely impress.
These crispy wontons are filled with delicate crab meat, lobster-like langostino and rich cream cheese. Some say they're Asian in ancestry, while others give the credit to an American restaurateur from the 1950's.
