Today I am answering an email from a reader:
“Dear Hostess, Every time I go to a party or to a friend’s house for dinner, I feel like my friends always ask me to bring an appetizer. I’m sick of my same old recipes! I can’t make another Mexican layer dip or ‘pigs in a blanket’…..can you help me come up with some new ideas?”
Here you go….hope these inspire you!
Appetizers are the first taste of the party….they can be an indicator of what’s to come with the meal, but they can also be just a fun display of different tastes. Here are some of my new favorites:
- Lemon-Thyme Dip with Crudits (via Martha Stewart)
- Shrimp Ceviche in Cucumber Cups (via Williams Sonoma)
- Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles with a Spicy Dipping Sauce (via Martha Stewart)
- Three-Cheese Filo Triangles (via Williams Sonoma)
- Prosciutto-Wrapped Mango Wraps (via Southern Living)
- Mini Caprese Bites (via Southern Living)
- Hot Spinach Dip (via Martha Stewart)
- Fig and Goat Cheese Bruschetta (via Cooking Light)
- Marinated Mozzarella (via Food Network)
