The Year of Appetizers In Review

The Year of Appetizers In Review

    Here's a short entry to share my top five appetizers that I've made this year. Just like anything, there have been some "fails" and some which have surprised me. Fails include Appetizer #3 - Cheese Crackers and Appetizer #1 - Potpourri Cheese, both of which I just really didn't like the taste. The biggest surprise to me was that I liked Appetizer #5 - Cheese Puff Surprises. I liked the combination of 'salty' olive flavor and the texture of the cheese puff. I made one appetizer which I've made numerous times prior to this year of appetizers and just really love. That recipe is Appetizer #4 - Lemonchick's Un-stuffed Jalapeno Popper Tartlets. I've also made one of these new-to-me appetizers twice. I really liked the Sweet Zucchini Pickles. Search the blog for these recipes and if you happen to try these recipes or any of the others, let me know what you think. I'd really love to hear some comments.
