AKA Eight-Layer Spread
This is a pretty generic dish that can be found at most pot-luck dinners. It’s simple to make and easy to adjust for your particular tastes. When I make it, it’s more like a 4 to 6 layer dip so I prefer to call it Taco Dip. Notice the two...
Hurray! You saw the title of this post and still continued reading. Many, including most of my family, aren’t as brave. What I have for you today is a simple little appetizer using smoked oysters from a can. Sounds bad, tastes WONDERFUL. I could eat an entire can at once....
These crackers are great for a quick appetizer or snack for any party. Growing up we made this recipe using Oyster crackers. This particular recipe from TastyKitchen.com called for Saltine crackers, so I gave it a try. Oyster crackers or Saltine crackers, they are addictive.

The scenario: movie night with the kids. Instead of the usual popcorn, I decided to try these soft pretzels for our movietime snack. They are made with refrigerated breadstick dough. Super simple! To my surprise, they were pretty tasty.

I LOVE MUSHROOMS! It’s a close call between mushrooms and saute’ed onions, but I think mushrooms win out. Just had to get that out there.
Thinking about the upcoming holidays, these Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms might be the perfect appetizer for your get-together.
Here is another thing I have to get out there -...
Keeping along the same lines as yesterday’s recipe using prosciutto, today we are wrapping the prosciutto around shrimp instead of asparagus. These little wrapped shrimp would be great as appetizers or you can eat them as your main course like we did. Again, do not add salt. Prosciutto = very salty! I likey!!

Whether you call it Cowboy Caviar, Texas Caviar or Southwest Salsa, it’s yummy just the same. This is something I wouldn’t have touched with a ten foot pole a few years ago with it’s chunky vegetables. Today, I actually enjoy it. It’s a good alternative to the usual fresh tomato salsa.
