Cheesy Bean Appetizers: Take a variety of whole grain crackers and top them with some canned refried beans, a sprinkle of cumin, a little prepared guacamole or a chunky salsa, a square of cheese of your own choosing, and a couple of slices of pitted black olives.

Tomato Roasted Corn Pita Dipper: Combine in a bowl, 2 medium tomatoes (diced), 2 celery stalks (diced), one-half cup sunflower kernels, one-half cup roasted corn kernels (these are available in the frozen food section - just thaw and drain prior to using), 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped), 1 cup low-fat sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve in small bowls with warm pita bread cut into bite-size pieces for dipping.

Sweet and Spicy Tuna Lettuce Wraps: Using Bibb lettuce leaves, place some tuna (canned in water and drained) along the center of a leaf. Then place some chopped jalapeno pepper on top of the tuna, some chopped mango, a couple of strips of green bell peppers, and a spoonful of sour cream. If desired, sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on top of the sour cream for a little more heat. Fold in the sides of each lettuce leaf and secure the lettuce wraps with a toothpick. Chill until ready to serve.

Roast Beef Asparagus Appetizers: Take deli roast beef slices and spread with a combination of prepared horseradish and sour cream. Then place a couple of white asparagus spears (canned and drained) on top of the horseradish mixture near the edge of the roast beef slice along with a few baby spinach leaves. Roll roast beef slice up tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
