Appetizer Recipes

Appetizers and snacks can be the best way to start a meal. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or just having a few friends over, you'll find lots of appetizers and snacks to choose from that have all been tested so you can be sure they will turn out wonderful every time you make them.

Check out some easy and simple party appetizers like sausage balls, always a crowd pleaser, or try using puff pastry and make a French appetizer like mini croque-monsieurs that no one can pass up.

You'll find delicious finger foods that won't require a fork like chicken nuggets wrapped in bacon, pinwheels with spinach and easy tarts filled with sausage and cheese.

Do ahead appetizers?

With our busy schedules, we all need appetizers we can make in advance.  Check out these recipes so you’ll be prepared whether you have unexpected guests drop in or are entertaining a crowd.

Is your favorite team playing, then you’ll need some game day appetizers to cheer them on, try a warm creamy queso dip that will go great with tender buffalo chicken wings. Don't want to cook, try a cold fresh peach and corn salsa or mix up some Southern pimento cheese.

Do you have friends who are low carb or gluten free, well I've got you covered with the best sausage balls made with almond flour. 

Maybe you want something kid friendly, kids and adults alike will rave over tiny pizzas or miniature potato skins.

For the Holidays you'll find a wide variety of easy party appetizers to make for guests like a tomato tart with a flaky crust or surprise your friends with a savory cookie. Of course you'll want something sweet with all these savory appetizer, try a finger friendly chocolate bark treat.

If like me, you love to relax with appetizers before dinner, then you'll find a wide variety whatever your preference. Pick out a delicious appetizer or snack and start out any get together on the right foot.
