15 Simple Appetizers Your Guests Will Loveposted in Lists and Leftovers, Appetizers and Snacks by Lisa FreemanChips and pretzels are great snacks...but this year, you can wow your holiday guests by serving a few simple, tasty starters. We've got a lot of ideas here, some straight-out healthy, others point-blank fried. Pick just one or two of these to serve as appetizers, and keep portions small so that guests are primed for the main course. Or just make a bunch of these starters in larger portions for more of a cocktail gathering. Guests certainly won't feel like they've left with an empty stomach, and nearly everyone enjoys grazing!

I like to go heavy on the appetizers and skip a starter! Sara Gray | posted on Nov 18, 2007 "Stumbled Upon" your blog. Excellent! And I agree. More appetizers, less starters on the day that everyone eats too much anyway. Great job on the blog, I'll be checking back often. You can check out my Thanksgiving ideas at Easy Appetizer Recipes too. Have a Thankful Holiday. Kathy Maister | posted on Nov 18, 2007 Thanks Sara! Your appetizer recipes look fantastic! Perfect for the startcooking crowd! Ella | posted on Dec 8, 2007 It is amazing how delicious simple things can be! Those tortilla chips are great. I could eat them forever. And the stuffed mushrooms are so easy to prepare and yet so tasty! All my guests love them. Raffid | posted on Dec 11, 2007 Anyone from St. Louis, MO, knows they are called TOASTED ravioli - and you can't eat just 10! Kathy Maister | posted on Dec 12, 2007 St Louis sounds like my kind of place! :) Jon (Sacker) | posted on Dec 12, 2007 Sad ;-( looks like we can't buy frozen raviloi in the UK! Lisa Freeman | posted on Dec 12, 2007 Jon! Don't fret--as you can use the fresh ravioli for the frying recipe as well! I'm sure you've got to be able to find them somewhere! Otherwise, there are plenty of websites that will sell fresh, boxed ravioli! In fact, here's one that's right in the UK that will ship to you! christine | posted on Mar 9, 2008 Stumbled Upon your blog, great post. These appetizers are simple and easy to do and will be loved by all guest. Entertaining should be quick and easy but at the same time the food should be appealing and delicious! james | posted on Jul 28, 2008 thanks alo!!!
