I needed a Appetizer FAST

Sometimes, guest's aren't always expected. So what do you serve them in a minute's notice, "Appetizers". Just by keeping some common staples in your pantry or fridge, you will always be ahead of the game.

Just a few cans of biscuit's can become a great appetizer. Roll the dough out with your rolling pin, top with your favorite marinara sauce, your favorite cheese, some toppings like olives, or peperoni. Then all you do is bake them according to the package directions.

Wrapping cocktail wieners in crescent roll triangles are another favorite of mine. It's easy and quick. Making a nice spicy dipping mustard sauce goes great with these.




Melba toast, or other sturdy crackers is another great staple to have on hand. My favorite topping for these are a little ricotta with roasted chopped red peppers spread on top after toasting the Melba toast's. You can also do you favorite cheese on top, complemented with your favorite fruit. My husband likes a good tapenade or, bruschetta on his. Melting your favorite cheese on top works to.




Most fridges will have cheese and veggies already in them. Making small cubes, of cheese, and small chucks of veggies with a good dip is one of the fastest throw together appetizers. If you guest is willing to keep you company in the kitchen and lend a hand a good fondue is always a fun appetizer, especially with a melted cheese. A good one I love is eggplant sliced thin with mozzarella cheese melted on top, and when you take it out putting a slice of tomato on top.




  And of course there is plenty of boxed appetizers in the grocery store you can stock up on.

Do you have a appetizer tip?
