Appetizers and Party Food Recipes
http://teriskitchen.com/appetizers.html

This collection of family recipes for appetizers, hors d'oeuvres, dips, spreads and other party foods includes many of my favorites. Every now and then, I plan a dinner using a variety of finger foods in place of a regular meal because I like them so much. Placing the recipes in categories on this page for ease of browsing was a challenge, mainly because some can be used interchangeably. For example, all of the hors d'oeuvres are wonderful on a party buffet, but some can also be used as a first course appetizer. Additionally, some of the appetizers can be served as main dishes, as indicated on the individual recipes. I hope you find what you are looking for....and enjoy!

Spreads and Toppings

(Toppings listed that were originally used in pizza recipes can be made as is and then cut into finger-size pizza bites. If preferred, they can be placed on bruschetta instead of pizza crust and broiled just until the cheese melts. Alternately, they can be placed in a serving bowl at room temperature with the toast served on the side so each guest can top their own. Some of the other spreads are equally good in Party or Tea Sandwiches, as indicated in the recipes.)
