These easy appetizers are not only delicious for any party or occasion, but they are also full proof! The other Mom behind Mom to Mom Nutrition [our Nana] has been making these for years. You’ve got to try them!
It might come as no surprise to you that I’m just not in the mood to cook. Ok, I like to cook. So, it’s not that. I’m just not feeling like I have anything new and exciting to make and share. But as I was thinking about the upcoming weekend and weekends to follow, I can imagine many of you are going to or hosting holiday parties. And guess what? YOU might need an appetizer to pass and share. Nana’s got ya covered…
4 Easy Appetizers from My Mom’s Recipe Box
Meatballs with Sauce: OMG you guys. I remember devouring these meatballs as a 7-year-old, tailgating with my parents and their friends at the MSU vs. U of M football games- year after year. I also remember taking these to my Aunt Nina and Uncle Ray’s house when they hosted Christmas Day. A Caputo family fav! PS. The meatballs keep in the fridge with the sauce- and I’ve reheated in a crock pot without a problem.
Baked Gouda Cheese: We’ve all heard of baked brie cheese, but have you ever tried baked gouda? If not, give this one a whirl!
Beef Taco Dip: Hope you can read and understand the directions on this one… SO. GOOD. And even better served with tortilla “scoop” chips. The Hormel chili with beans [can] + taco seasoning + onion is added to the top of the cream cheese layer. Then topped with the cheddar cheese and black olives. THEN you bake it.
Mayo Puffs: Yep, as easy as it reads. Just be sure to keep an eye on the toasts so they don’t burn!
