An Abundance Of Appetizing Appetizers

In theory, an appetizer, by its very name, is supposed to fan the flame of your hunger before the big meal... In reality, we usually end up stuffing ourselves on the apps and "ruin our appetite" for dinner. Geez, don't you hate it when mom is right?

Since we're adults now, I say heed what mom said, but stuff yourself with the appetizers anyway.... and then skip dinner! There've got to be some perks to growing old up, right?

Still cleaning out the cobwebs in my bookmarks folder... here are a bunch of appetizers that sound, well, really appetizing (many of which would make a fine meal)...

Nuts & Olives...
Crackers etc...
Dips...
  • Bean Dip, Hummus, and more from Peace, Love, and Muesli (be sure to read the comments for more great ideas) [...sadly this link is broken and I can't find it any longer]
  • Healthy Spinach and Artichoke Dip over at Serious Eats 
Cheesy Meaty and More...
Last But Not Least...
  • what is a party without Swedish meatballs? Well, it's no party at all... better whip up some of these Ikea Meatballs from one of my favorite sites (or just hire a Swedish Chef to do it for you!)

    2. If I haven't said it before, let me state right here for the record: Everything I ever learned about cooking, I learned from the Swedish Chef! (Børk Børk Børk indeed!)
