Summary: Appetizer ideas
Thanks to all 30 plus who responded with easy party food ideas.
I've got a great idea file now!
Many suggested bringing my own rice crackers or Torengos, and hit the buffet line early to avoid contamination, and don't go too hungry.
Here is a list, in no particular order:
Deviled eggs
Ham/pickle/cream cheese roll-ups
Salsa and corn chips
Cocktail hotdogs in a sauce made with Heinz Cocktail sauce, and grape jelly served warm
Veggies with red pepper and garlic mayonnaise
Veggies with spinach dip
Shrimp or lobster with cocktail sauce (can also serve with cream cheese)
Hummus
Guacamole
French onion soup dip
Hot artichoke dip
Rumaki (bacon wrapped around water chestnuts, or pineapple, or scallops, broiled)
7 layer taco dip with chips
Ajvar in Mediterranean food stores - a GF puree of roasted mild (or hot) red peppers, eggplant and garlic. Great with veggies or rice crackers
Little red new potatoes, sliced in half, boiled until tender in salted water, and scooped out with a melon-baller. Then she put a mound of sour cream in each one (you could use yogurt or if you're dairy-intolerant, silky tofu, extra soft) and topped it with a little bit of caviar. She didn't use the real expensive stuff, but just the kind that comes in little jars in the supermarket. It comes in black, red, and golden colored types, and is both colorful and tasty on the potato and sour cream! You don't need much for a big taste!
Chex mix with fake chex
Nut mix with dried cranberries and chocolate chips
Chebe bread with marinara sauce for dipping

Freshly popped popcorn
Assorted nuts
Assorted olives
Marinated mushrooms
Gougere (popovers made with cheese)
Cherry tomatoes, or cucumbers, scooped out and stuffed with cream cheese and shrimp or dip
Mini meatballs
Energ pretzels
Peanuts in the shell
Pickles
Potato wedges
TGI Fridays Hot Wings and potato skins (in the frozen foods section of supermarkets)
Crabmeat mixed with cocktail sauce, poured over cream cheese
