Hints for Serving Appetizers

  • Veggies, crackers, chips are the inexpensive fill-ins. They fill people up and keep well if not used; do provide at least one tasty dip. Marinated vegetables provide an attractive alternative to the usual carrots-broccoli-cauliflower and ranch dressing platters.
  • Keep it Simple!!  Do not attempt to cook individual hot appetizers unless you have adequate oven space and another person to assist with the food. If you can only cook a pan of 20 appetizers at one time and each pan takes 20 minutes to cook, they are not very practical for large parties.
  • Serve a large tray of seasonal fruits in addition to the usual vegetable platter.  These foods are easy to prepare in advance and can be quickly refilled. Also try Fruit Kabobs served with a light fruit dip.
