Johnson & Wales Canapes

If you follow me on twitter you know that I have been battling with canapes this week. Yes, my personal demon is a two bite item that is appropriately sized for a toddler.

 

All night I had a reoccurring dream that I had to make thousands of canapes but had no plan, the walk-in refrigerator was never ending and I had forgotten how to cook.  It was a rough night y'all.

But, it paid off.  Today at school we had a "Grand Buffet" filled with canapes and while I would definitely tweak a few things it turned out beautifully! 

the final product

 

 chicken, spinach, and bacon en croute (middle) with black bean and corn galantine (left)
Edited to add:  the center pieces are made from smoked chicken breast wrapped in spinach in the en croute (middle) and chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto (left)

smoked turkey canape with chive cream cheese spread and roasted red peppers
Edited to add: these canapes are sitting on top of toasted wheat bread

 black bean salad with roasted peppers, corn, and topped with cilantro lime sour cream

pickled zucchini, squash, and onions

 accompanied with a fresh salsa of tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cilantro

I will tell you though, I am looking forward to cooking things that aren't fun-sized!
