Its my birthday early November and am getting organised early.. I
On my list so far is.. my amazing truffles (depends on my level of motivation) french stick with cream cheese & pesto scones with jam and cream
Our workplace is very keen on savouries but I'm not forking out for them so wonder if people have some alternatives that can be heated up in the microwave?

egg cheese onion corn ham/salami/bacon mix together and put into 'cases' bake for around the 15 min mark ( sometimes less), these can be frozen, you can add anything you like really, capsicum, tuna, salmon, mushrooms, olives etc

That sounds just fab already.Not many savoury things heat well in the microwave. Just do what you want - just because they like savouries, doesn't mean they always have to have them.

Roll out into a rectangle 30 x 12cm.Spread relish or chutney right over to the edges then roll up tightly.Cut the roll into 12 pieces and place on baking paper on tray, or in greased muffin tins.

Personally, I would choose things which can be made (or part made) and frozen - unless your birthday is on a Monday.
I make neenish tart case (see Edmond Recipe Book) - and freeze them. Chocolate Cake and Ice it on the day.
Adults love Cherrios - which can be microwaved

have a look at on the recipe messageboard - search for club sandwiches - no heating required

Last year I took a couple of packets of merangue nests a couple of cans of squrity cream and some fresh strawberrys and grapes and told the gang to go for it.Interactive food - it was great, and highly enjoyed by all.
