As the holiday is upon us, we are all dealing with lots of hosting parties and attending parties either through work or with family and friends. Over the years, I have shared several of my favorite go-to quick and easy appetizer recipes to help you. And, to help you, I copied my favorite ones here.  I hope they help you stay organized and reduce the amount of planning you need to do.

Option 1: You can make monkey bread into a savory dish.

It can be savory too. The recipe below was a happy surprise when I made it.  It was even selected to be featured in several local publications.

Second option: Quick Potato Skins

The second option is to look for easy appetizer recipes where you can use the ingredients in other dishes.

This recipe also has two other methods using the same ingredients that come from these potato skins. One is a Potato Soup recipe. The other is Potato pancakes.

Third option: Spinach Balls with honey mustard dip

The next option is to add vegetables to your appetizer dish. This spinach ball recipe can quickly be frozen and placed in baggies to pull out and bake easily.  These spinach balls are excellent with honey mustard too. We make this almost every year and at least double it and freeze them for the many parties we host.

Option 4: Homemade Gluten Free Cauliflower Tots Recipe

These tots are made with cauliflower and can easily be made at the last minute to share with your guests after you prep them and place them in the fridge. Add gluten-free items to your appetizer.

Tip: They may stick a little bit when they come out. Use a metal spatula and slide below the tot so they can release without breaking apart.

Option 5: Make pizza from leftover ingredients and cut it into pizza squares.

I made this pizza recipe with my kids from the leftover pantry (Affiliate Link) items and refrigerated ingredients. It's super easy and can be made in a pinch. The pizza crust can easily be stored in the freezer when you need it for your next party.

Last option: The Best Guacamole Dip Recipe Ever

This is the easiest of my easy appetizer recipes and is my favorite. You can make it ahead and store in the refrigerator. Note my tip on how to make this recipe without it getting brown.

The Best Guacamole Dip Recipe Ever

I found that you can add more cumin to really ramp up the scent while eating.
If you use salt, be sure to check that your nachos aren't too salty. Adding less salt if your nachos are too salty helps balance the flavor.
There are a lot of recipes that use garlic. However, I found that using garlic and letting it sit for an hour or overnight creates a pungent taste and overpowers the guacamole so I leave it out. If you don't mind this taste feel free to add 1 garlic clove minced.

    Monkey bread was an unexpectedly popular dish at my house! My husband made it one year for his work office party, and we had leftovers, which we took to my in-laws... total hit! And so easy to make, too 🙂
