Make your festivities even more appetizing!


Hi friends,

We love making and serving small bites, not to mention eating them! Whether you are enjoying a quiet evening in or hosting a crowd, appetizers are a delicious way to add a little variety to your table.

There's no shortage of festive colour in this Pomegranate Cranberry Baked Brie! This sweet and savoury appetizer is SO easy to put together. We love the contrast of the creamy cheese mixed with the textures of the fruit and chopped nuts.

We can't get enough of these Cucumber Appetizers with Smoked Salmon. They're a light and fresh appetizer that tastes fabulous (and looks it, too!). We love serving these as a gluten-free and low carb option.

Make sure you have these Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Cups on the table at your next holiday party (or date night in!). Made with puff pastry, fresh herbs, fresh parm, and fresh mushrooms, the only thing that can make these cups better is that they are SO easy to make!

Looking for a little more puff pastry in your life? You've got to try these smoky, spiced Vegetarian Red Lentil Sausage Rolls. Made with lentils, roasted red peppers, and fragrant spices, you won't even miss the meat!

These Mini Cheese Ball Bites are a fun twist on the classic cheese ball. You can make this recipe 3 ways AND make it ahead of time. Looking for the classic full-sized cheese ball? Try this Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball! Both recipes are perfect make-ahead options.

Looking for more appetizers in your life? You'll find these recipes and more on our 25 Easy Holiday Appetizers page! You should also check out our FREE email series No-Fail Guide to the Best Easy Party Food. Make the best easy finger foods, dips, and drinks to take your parties to the next level, all while taking the time to enjoy yourself too!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
