Party food shouldn’t be stressful! I know because I used to panic every time I hosted a gathering or I was (GASP) asked to bring my favorite appetizer! I’d sweat it for days…Will more people appreciate the brie or should I go with the meatballs? Are we going for taste or the wow factor? Do all my dishes have coordinating serving utensils? I was losing it! So, I rounded up a few of my all time faves to have on hand in case of an appetizer panic situation. Here are some easy and make ahead appetizer recipes to please a crowd! Whether you’re looking for healthy, elegant, or bite sized there is something everyone at your party will love!
