We haven’t had a recipe thread in a long while, so let’s discuss: what are your favorite appetizers to make for the holidays? If it’s something simple like cheese and crackers, do you have specific cheeses that you always buy? Does it matter if you’re hosting or bringing food to someone else’s gathering?
For my $.02… my eldest is actually a big fan of making charcuterie boards, so we always do one of those, with him also picking most of the cheeses. He really likes stinky ones like gorgonzola and blue cheese! I also tend to buy freezer appetizers like pigs in a blanket, mac and cheese bites, and spanakopita.
My aunt has done a mean spinach and artichoke dip that she serves warm in a mini-crockpot… I won’t see her this Christmas, so I may just have to make my own.
Over to you guys — what are your favorite appetizers to make for the holidays?
