OK! I love tasty, spicy appetizers. If you are like me, you have to watch these treats, and your diet. But isn't just a "little" awfully good? I thought I would put a resource lens together to help my readers with some of the best recipes.

What Are Appetizers

Appetizers are often called finger foods.  They are usually served prior to a meal, or, sometimes, in between mealtimes  They also called hors d'oeuvres, and may range from the very simple to the very complex, depending on the circumstance and the time dedicated to making them.

At dinners, banquets and the like, appetizers possibly will be served prior to a meal. This is an especially familiar custom at weddings.  Also, appetizers may be served at longer parties that occur after a regular meal time. For example, a mid-afternoon party where there is no intention to serve dinner, or an evening party that occurs after dinner may offer characteristic appetizers so that guests can have the opportunity to snack.

A simple plate of cheese and crackers, chopped vegetables  served with dip, or sliced or small fruits can all be considered appetizers.  The goal is to make the food easy to handle with just a napkin, and easy to eat in one to two bites. This way guests can continue to visit, dance, chat or mingle without needing to be encumbered by plates.
