Every year, I share my favorite appetizer recipes because friends, WE EAT THEM ALL HOLIDAY SEASON LONG!
I mean to tell you…GIVE ME ALL THE DIP.
All of it.
And the cheese too.
We are hosting parties or attending them where appetizers are aplenty, so I always like to share my faves. When I joined Andrew’s family (waaaaaaaay back 16 Christmases ago!), they always had an appetizer party on Christmas Eve and I quickly loved the idea so much that now, my side of the family does it too! So now, everyone eat apps on Christmas Eve. Isn’t that fun?!
Ready, set, here we go…all of my favorite appetizers in one convenient post just in time for your holiday season!
Starting with…
…my charcuterie board! You can see what’s on my board HERE.
Pecan, Cranberry & Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños
Sausage, Jack & Green Chile Balls
Slow Cooker Cheesy Spinach Dip
Candied Jalapeno Bacon Pimento Cheese Dip
Happy Friday!! I hope you all have a very merry weekend!! xo

I am so excited about all these ideas! Do you have a cookbook for just apps and dips? If not, you need one! Hope you’re feeling much better and y’all have a great weekend! xoxo
Gianna says
Thank you for these great app ideas! I’m hosting my first appetizer party next weekend and I’m making your goat cheese jalapeño sausage balls & the buffalo chicken bites! How many apps would you make for a 20 person party? Hope you are feeling better today! Xo

Eeks! So fun!! I would make sure you have two really hearty apps (like sliders), at least two more with protein (like a sausage ball) and then fill in with some dips/cheeses! Enjoy!
Carol says
Loving the slider recipes! Perfect for this time of year with football and all the get to gathers with family and friends. I make your green chili cheese ball every year…always a hit. But, Shay, your sausage balls are the absolute Very Best! So so Good! I made a double patch of them last Friday and put them in the freezer for a family get to gather this weekend. There are none left so having to make more today. But first coffee and Trader Joes.

My family does apps on Christmas Day! It’s just the three of us and my mom so apps are perfect. We make them mid day and just graze. It’s perfection! I hope you are healing well. Merry Christmas!
