Appetizer Recipes for a Party

While I’ll be the first to sing the praises of appetizers and finger foods, they are not all created equal when it comes to which ones to make for a party or larger gathering.  In the world of Appetizer Recipes for a Party, I love one-bite apps, but they can often require a good amount of hand work.  While that is feasible when we’re talking about a regular size dinner party of say up to ten guests, it becomes more of a production for a larger party.  If you have catering style storage and facilities plus the time, I wouldn’t discourage you.  However, for most people, that is not the case. 

In the list of Party Appetizers below, you’ll still find some bite-size options.  However, I’ve targeted those to ones that can be made as a single batter and then just portioned out for baking.  You’ll also find that this list leans towards low carb, sugar free, and gluten free appetizers to suit many dietary restrictions.
