    Appetizer Recipes

    Appetizer recipes give you light options to begin meals, start parties or impress guests. You may even find that some of these recipes become such favorites in your house that you serve them as side dishes, snacks or even main dishes!

    Crab Cakes are one popular choice that use delicious lump crab meat with a hint of lemon to bring out the delicate seafood flavors. Looking for a bit of an Old World flair? Try Bagna Cauda, a hot dip that’s delicious with bread and raw vegetables.

    Most of these appetizers are a cinch to whip up and require just a few simple ingredients. For example, Tzatziki sauce is made from easily found cucumbers and yogurt for a Greek flavor explosion. Spicy Deviled Eggs use hard boiled eggs and sriracha sauce to bring some oomph to this popular appetizer.

    Hosting the next big game? Try Baked Buffalo Wings with a creamy buffalo sauce or a chunky, homemade blue cheese dressing.
