Baked
Chicken Taquitos
These
are tasty morsels and the kids like them because they are fun to
eat. They are much healthier than the fried version. Great as lunch or a snack on the go. Great to make ahead and
freeze.
Caprese
Salad
Caprese salad or otherwise known as Insalata Caprese, is a very
simple yet elegant salad. It uses only fresh ingredients and even in
its simplest form is quite delicious. Fresh tomatoes, fresh
mozzarella, and ...
Caprese
Salad Skewers
What better way than to put Caprese Salad on a stick? These are very
attractive to serve for parties, so simple and delicious!
Cheese
Dip
This recipe is great served with tortilla chips. It is simple
and easy to prepare.
Cocktail
Meatballs
This
recipe is so unbelievably easy, yet it is a crowd pleaser! It is a
recipe that has been around for a long time and can be modified in so
many ways to make it your own. This appetizer is
usually one of the first one gone at family gatherings. Kids and...
Greg's
Simple Nachos
Tortilla chips layered with seasoned beef, cheddar cheese and
jalapenos. This is my husband's simple, no nonsense recipe that the
guys (and girls) usually devour as soon as it hits the table.
Guacamole
This
was the first recipe that introduced my daughter Alyssa to the
culinary world. She is the only one that is allowed to make this
recipe in our house now!
Homemade
Tortilla Chips
Once you taste these, it will be hard going back to bagged tortilla
chips. They are very easy to make and your guests are usually very
interested in how you did it.
Mexican
Pinwheels
The red, green and black colors of the ingredients make these
pinwheels very attractive. They are also very tasty and simple to
prepare.
Mushroom
Puffs
Perfect
for making ahead of time. These tasty appetizers are filled with
cream cheese, mushrooms, green olives and pimientos. Another one of
my mother-in-law's great recipes.
Pizza
Puffs
This
recipe is so easy to make and turns out great each time. They are
filled with pepperoni and cheese that just melt in your mouth. This
is a must try recipe that we think you will really enjoy.
Refried
Bean Dip
If it is a family gathering and the theme is Mexican, my
mother-in-law always wants me to make this dip. It is not the
typical refried bean dip that is cold. It can be made ahead of time
and popped in the oven right before serving.
Ryan's
Beer Cheese
My
husband is from Lexington, Kentucky and he has fond memories of beer
cheese. His favorite brand is Hall's. We have experimented and tried
many recipes until we came up with this version. My son Ryan has
mastered making this recipe and he....
Spinach
Dip
This is the classic Knorr's Spinach Dip recipe on the back of their
vegetable soup package. I am surprised how many people still ask me
how to make it and don't know this great recipe. When we make this
for get togethers, it is always gone way before the party is over!
Stromboli
Stromboli
is not difficult to make especially if you use this simple recipe.
It is filled with ham, salami, and cheese that can be served as a
meal or as appetizers. There are endless combinations such as adding
crumbled bacon or making it all vegetarian.
Tomato
Basil Squares
When
my kids were toddlers, many of my friends were
Pampered Chef reps. So I went to many parties
and purchased some of their great products that I still use today. They have
lots of delicious
recipes posted on their website and this is one of my favorites.
Tomato,
Mozzarella & Pesto Tart
Puff
pastry spread with basil pesto, thinly sliced tomatoes and topped off with
mozzarella. So delicious and very easy to prepare. You will
definitely impress your guests with this simple recipe.
Veggie
Pizza
This is another one of my favorite recipes from the
Pampered Chef. You can use any combination of
vegetables you desire even if it is only one type of veggie. The
kids really like this recipe.
Vidalia
Onion Dip
Anytime I take this appetizer to a pot luck, everyone
always asks me for the recipe. Even people who do not like onions,
like this dip. It is one of the first items to go at gatherings.
Definitely a crowd pleaser!
