Hosting for a group can be a lot of work, but I absolutely love it!
Planning the menu, buying the groceries, and having it all come together.
I knew I was going to be tight on prep time yesterday after getting home from work, so I kept the meal pretty simple. We are an appetizer-lovin' group, and here is what I put together for us to nibble on before our meal.
Dried Apricots with Blue Cheese and Honey
With this appetizer, the dried apricot acts as your cracker. Just top each with some crumbled blue cheese and drizzle on local honey. They are equally delicious if you sprinkle on some crushed pistachios, too.
Mulitgrain Crackers with Pepperjack Cheese and Fig Preserves
This was definitely a hit. The pepperjack cheese had a bit of kick, and the fig preserves were a good sweet balance. And because it is such a simple appetizer, when we ran out, it was easy and quick to put more together.
And for true ease, my third little nibble just consisted of some nice olives. Can't beat that simplicity!
What are some of your go-to (simple!) appetizers?
