Appetizers like everyone will be seated at the table or appetizers like horduevers?

I also make a fruit/cheese/cracker plate that gets eaten very fast. Its very easy to make look fancy without having to slave over cooking more stuff.

Another thing I make is stuff mushrooms which are pretty simple to make and cook up right before guests get there. But you're guests have to like mushrooms so its sort of limiting.

There is always shrimp cocktail which is easy but expensive.

Thanks ladies, I was looking for something a little snazy. But I guess I should stick to tradition, considering that I dont cook

Things we always make when we have company over is a cheese and cracker tray, and antipasta platter, stuffed mushrooms, and spinach dip. I'm also making little calzones for a bday party this weekend, but I never made them before so i'm not sure how they are lol.

Re: Hey I need some appetizer ideas for this sat night. Im hosting dinner

We do pretty much what everyone has already mentioned, but two dips I almost always use are Friday's Spinach and Artichoke dip and Athenos roasted red pepper hummus. No cooking at all, you just have to nuke the Friday's dip. They go with veggies, chips, anything. They're both always a hit and the hummus is something a little usual....

Have fun.

Re: Hey I need some appetizer ideas for this sat night. Im hosting dinner

The easiest dip recipe in the world that will impress.

Get a can/jar of artichoke hearts, NOT marinated, just in water or whatever they are packed in.

In a bowl combine:

1 jar of artichoke hearts
1 cup of mayo
3/4 cup of parmesean cheese

mix it up, pour into small baking dish.

Sprinkle the top with plain bread crumbs, mixed with a little bit more parm cheese.

Bake at 350 until light golden brown on top.

Serve with tortilla chips. Get a sturdy kind like the scoops version.

Re: Hey I need some appetizer ideas for this sat night. Im hosting dinner

spinich dip is always a big hit...on the back of the knorrs veggie soup mix box...

cheese and crackers....super easy

I will also cook up some meatballs in a thin tomato/onion sauce

I get chorizo and slice it thin and fry it...and serve in its own juices...

veggie platter is simple and easy too

Re: Hey I need some appetizer ideas for this sat night. Im hosting dinner

A quickie-- sort of,

Make your basic meatball recipe, make mini ones- then for the gravy/sauce put equal parts cranbery jelly (the stuff in a can) and tomatoe sauce (speggetti sauce- whatever you like) heat until the cranberry disolves. Add the meatballs for a few mins and serve. You can make regular meatballs for dinner one night and save some extra meat for the apps.

I made them for thanksgiving last year.

I make artichoke dip also, but I serve it with Wheatsworth Crackers, they go great with it.

They are made by Nabisco.

Re: Hey I need some appetizer ideas for this sat night. Im hosting dinner

I go out and buy a ball of fresh mozzarella and some vine tomatos - slice it all up and put in on a try and put balsamic vinegar on top.

Quick and easy and who doesn't love cheese
