Today, we're looking at easy and cheap-to-make appetizers from food blogs and recipe sites.
Appetizer menus are my favorite, I'm definitely more of a snacker than a meal-eater. However, appetizers may seem like a great way to save money but can add up quickly and can end up being more expensive than a fancy entree. So below, check out the Top 5 best appetizers to serve at a bridal shower.
1. I love dill dips and the reasons are pretty simple: It's delicious, simple, a good way to mix in fresh veggies and give your table a little color. People love sweets but put out a fresh veggie tray and they dive all over it. It's always the first thing gone at our parties. Here's a simple recipe and there have been times where I've had to host parties and had almost zero money for food. When going for veggies, stick with these if you're on a budget: carrots, celery, cucumbers, and cauliflower. They are the cheapest and will give you some nice variety. Grape tomatoes, green and red peppers, snow peas, beets, and baby corns are delicious but the cost can get expensive.
2. Garlic Parmesan Pretzel Rods. How easy is this? There are seven ingredients and some you probably already have in your pantry. Easy, delicious, and you can make these the night before and save yourself some time.
3. Leave it to Kraft to have some fast and simple recipes. This 10-Minute-Appetizer idea is one of my all time favorites. They offer different ways to mix up the toppings and flavors too so it can be customized to go along with anything else you're serving.
4. Hot Broccoli Cheese Dip. This recipe is easy to make in bulk, is low-maintenance, and will like satisfy your hungrier guests. I substituted the mushrooms with cauliflower and replaced the cream of mushroom with cream of celery soup, (I can't eat mushrooms). This recipe is easy! Serve with some thick crackers, you're good to go.
5. What about Tea Sandwiches? This recipe serves 300 so I'm going to go out on a limb and say you may have to adjust the amount you make but maybe consider it for your wedding too. They're easy, bite size, and you can make them ahead of time.
