So whether you are just having an appetizer party or if perhaps you are bringing an app to a party you are attending – here are some quick, easy and delicious options for easy appetizers for a crowd!
We often have friends over for New Year’s Eve. After many years we finally figured out the perfect menu. Appetizers and desserts and drinks- forget the main dish!
Everyone fills up on the apps and then is hungry again for dessert. With vegetarians, vegans, picky eaters – it is always hard to find something that everyone likes – os rather than fight it, skip it!
