Easy Party Appetizers

Before any of my parties, I find myself thinking

Ok, now that I know what the theme is… what in the heck am I going to make?

Most of the time, I LOVE to fix appetizers for a party, more than main dishes. It’s easier for the guests to pick at all evening, and it leaves a ton of variety instead of trying to pick one or two main dishes, HOPING everyone likes it.

Deluxe Meat & Cheese Skewers

Everyone loves a meat and cheese tray or skewers, yes? Why not change it up a bit and add a little flair to the standard party appetizer. Cheese tortellini, combined with other flavors faves… drizzled with some pesto is a tasty combination!

Loaded Cream Cheese Dip

Cream Cheese + Loaded, are two words that scream “get in my belly.” This no-bake dip is super easy to whip up, and can be used with chips, veggies, or anything that could use some spicing up!

Easy Potato Trifles

Using a package of instant potatoes makes this recipe a breeze! Use bacon pieces, shredded cheese, and some sour cream… you have yourself an easy party appetizer that looks fancy, but took very little effort.

Not interested in strawberries or jalapeno? No problem. Find your favorite jam/jelly to top this bruschetta with, and you may have just stumbled upon the easiest recipe you’ve ever made. My favorite? Jalapeno jelly!

Creamy Reuben Sandwich Dip

Ahhh, my husbands favorite sandwich, made into a dip. Football parties full of men LOVE this dip! It’s creamy and oh so flavorful!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Bites

Go ahead, I had you at “bacon” and “ranch,” right? Combing those two into a recipe is usually a success in my book!

Seasoned Party Crackers

Be prepared to be addicted. I can snack on these little suckers all day long if I’m not careful. So when I make them ahead of time, I have to put them away so I don’t eat them all before the party.

Mini Open-Faced Burgers

Everything is cute when it’s mini, right? Add a cutesy little toothpick and it’s even better! These mini burgers are a favorite at parties because of their adorable look, and almost everyone loves cheeseburgers!

Southwestern Egg Rolls

I am such a sucker for anything “southwestern.” These southwest egg rolls dipped in a delicious sauce is dynamite!

Zesty Sausage Bites

I absolutely adore sausage and cheese together in just about any recipe. Meatballs are a huge favorite for parties, but instead of using a bag of frozen meatballs, whip up this easy meatball recipe for something a little different if there’s time.
