Way back in the mid 1960’s, as I was walking past my sister-in-law Helen’s mother’s house ,she came out munching on an egg roll that her mom Olga had just made. She spotted me and offered one to me . I enjoyed it so much I just had to have that recipe. I think I […]
Appetizers & Dips
Appetizers, dips, hot and cold hor d’oeuvres for hosting or just for a snack attack!
Darlings
These golden puffs of yumminess , filled with breakfast sausage and cheese, make the perfect appetizer. They can be made ahead of time, stored in the freezer, and baked fresh on party day!
Cowboy Caviar
This is one of those appetizers that you just can’t stop eating. I serve it with scoop style tortilla chips.
Cocktail Meatballs & Sauce
We’ve been serving these yummy appetizers at family gatherings for years and everyone swarms around them like it’s their last meal…yes…they are that good! The sauce is what sends them “over the top”.
Clam and Bacon Dip
Clams have never been on the top of my “to eat” list, but they sure go well in this dip. It makes a great appetizer, especially if you’re in a hurry. Serve this with a rich, buttery cracker, such as Ritz or with bagel chips.
Bruschetta
My good friend Marsha shared this recipe with me several years ago. I have served it at several parties and everyone loves it. It is especially good when you have a garden full of vine ripened tomatoes, especially those sweet little cherry tomatoes. Yum! Be sure to use a good quality wine vinegar for the […]
Beer Dip
I dislike beer, but I LOVE this dip. If you’re making this for a get-together, such as a football party, I suggest doubling the recipe. Speaking from experience, the men will park in front of the bowl and it will be gone in no time at all. It is best served with pretzel nubs.
B.L.T. Dip
Who doesn’t love bacon…and in a dip, heaven! The gang will go crazy over this appetizer, served on toast triangles. Yum!
Asparagus Roll Ups
This is one of the tastiest appetizers I have ever had. They are quick and easy to make and they will disappear from the platter in a flash.
Anchovy Dip
Years ago I cleaned houses to support my children. Several of my clients shared some of their recipes and this is one of my favorites, given to me by Mrs. Snow. Now I want to say, I dislike anchovies, but for some reason, I LOVE this dip, which is made with anchovy paste. You’ve heard […]
