Ranch Hummus
Before I retired, my co-workers and I would always find an excuse to have a little “pot luck” luncheon, where we would bring our favorite dish to share. My friend Vera would bring this delicious Hummus which she served with pita chips or veggies. It is easy to make, is much more economical than the […]

Zucchini Appetizer
I sampled this appetizer at a party and was amazed at how flavorful it was. I have served this many times. Although I prefer it served hot, I have been at p[arties where it was served cold and it was still very tasty.
Chana Masala (Savory Indian Garbanzo Beans)
My old friend Sudesh shared this recipe with me almost 50 years ago. It’s a savory mix of chick peas, tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices…lots of spices, simmered to perfection. The chick peas are served with Roti or Naan bread. I cook the chick peas in a pressure cooker, but the old stove top method […]
Stuffed French Bread
French bread, stuffed with a cream cheese filling…Oo La La. I have made this recipe numerous times and it’s always a “hit” at the parties.

Creamy, crunchy and delicious dip, served cold with chunks of seedless rye bread. It’s the perfect appetizer that just takes minutes to whip together.
Smoked Salmon Mousse Stuffed Tomato Appetizer
This appetizer is easy to make and so very flavorful. After assembling these, I put them inside candy size paper cups so they don’t roll over and lose any of the delicious salmon mousse filling.
