Bite Size Appetizers A Stylish Alternative to Finger Sandwiches

Bite Size Appetizers

I made the above appetizers for my little nephew's birthday party. Bread cups filled with chicken, egg and tuna salad. Very easy to make. The bread cups can be made the night before or a few days before and filled the last minute.

This would really be cute if you're hosting a bridal or baby shower or afternoon tea with the ladies! A stylish alternative to finger sandwiches.

You will need:

A loaf of toast bread (I used whole wheat - the softer the better to work with)
Any filling you wish I went to the local deli and bought their freshly made egg, tuna and chicken salad. I only needed a little so it wasn't feasible to make my own.
A rolling pin
Mini muffin tin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Flatten the slice of bread with a rolling pin, remove crust

Cut bread in a circle with a cutter (I used a 3") to fit my tin

Grease the tins before lining with bread

Bake for 5 minutes, then close the heat leaving the cups in the oven. This will dry out the cups. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and continue cooling.

Your cups are ready to be filled

My Field Trip to A Wonderful Japanese Restaurant

I had the privilege to have dinner at this quaint little Japanese restaurant near my home north of Toronto in Aurora Ontario. If you are visiting Toronto, Mi Ne also has a downtown location. Mi Ne Japanese Restaurant is a must try. From the minute I walked through the doors, I was immediately greeted by the gorgeous Japanese hostess dressed in traditional Japanese dress. We were lucky enough to be placed in a private enclosed booth, which made our dinner private and cozy.

Mi Ne is known for their sushi. But we decided to try their teriyaki instead. I am so glad we did because it was truly delicious.

Within minutes of the waitress taking our order, appetizers were delivered immediately (this came with the meal).



Salad and Miso Soup

I ate my whole meal with the chop sticks. I'm so proud of myself! It made the experience even better.

Once we finished with our entrée, we all ordered chicken teriyaki.

Chicken Teriyaki Dinner

Our meals were delivered sizzling hot. A grilled chicken breast sitting atop of stir fry vegetables. I barely finished all this food. I could hardly breathe!

My booth was so intimate and quiet that I was able to enjoy eating and catching up with my friends at dinner. I must add that the pricing is very reasonable. Mid-point pricing for fresh, delicious food.

If you are in the Toronto or surrounding area, please visit to experience authentic Japanese dining.
