Cannelini Bean Hummus
Ironically, this appetizer gets raves from carnivores and vegans alike. It was originally voted The Readers Choice Recipe of the year for Vegetarian Times Magazine. It’s rich, healthy fats, so satisfying and a uniquely wonderful twist on guacamole.
Burrito Roll Ups
Think Armenian Flat Bread Rollups but with what you more often find in side a burrito. This delicate combination of flavors is a real surprise and welcomed when served with fresh salsa and guacamole.
Caprese Kebabs
This app is another one that gets copied often. However, I feel this combination of ingredients is by far the best. One variation is to add a nice tender quarter or baby artichoke heart. Basically, you are creating a Greek Salad on-a-stick. It has very wide appeal and quite refreshing.
Baked Brie and Pear Loaf
This appetizer has become a staple at parties over the years. With a wrap of puff pastry dough it comes together in a snap. I like to serve it with a big variety of dippers. Pita chips, crackers, apples, pear slices and crostini all pair well with it.
Avocado Chimichurri Bruschetta
Ironically, this appetizer gets raves from carnivores and vegans alike. It was originally voted The Readers Choice Recipe of the year for Vegetarian Times Magazine. It’s rich, healthy fats, so satisfying and a uniquely wonderful twist on guacamole.
Antipasto Appetizer
Of all the recipes I have created this one gets the most raves and requests. On the surface it appears to be just a typical dish that shows up at pot lucks. However, when crafted carefully it its an explosion of textures and flavors with massive mass appeal. It is fun for the guests to build their own skewers and as social as it is tasty. No doubt a crowd pleaser and as much fun to make as it is to nosh along with the guests.
Mini Popovers
This miniature version of a classic steak house favorite is suprisingly easy with only a few ingredients. They do take 50 minutes in the oven and must be served immediately so timing is everything.
