I need recipes for easy appetizers for a birthday party.....?

Question

We are having a birthday party for my 1 year old and I do not know what to serve. There will be about 20 adults and I would like to serve appetizers. But I need them to be easy and if they were inexpensive even better... Help.....

Answer 1

Kinda depends on how fancy you want to go.

You could make mini pizzas on english muffin halves-just add sauce, cheese and whatever other toppings you think your guests might enjoy and pop it in the oven until the cheese it melted.

You could prepare a veggie tray with several different dips and then, for contrast, a fruit tray with sweet dips (like chocolate syrup, yogurt or marshmellow spread).

Or better yet, why not have a nachoes bar? Buy a can of nacho cheese at Costco or another wholesale market (usually about $6, not bad, right?) and heat that in a crock pot. Then put out salsa, refried beans, sour cream, fresh tomatoes or whatever along with torilla chips. Maybe even some ground beef cooked in taco seasoning if you like. Then guests can doctor their plates the way they want and you don't have to do a thing.

Hope these ideas help!

1.you can get some round crackers, like jatz or something, with fetta cheese and cucumber on top. (Should cost u about less than $10.)

2. party sausage rolls ( about $5 per pack of 12 probebly get 2 packs)

3. turkish/ iranian bread, cut into palm size rectangles, with half a kilo of Fetta cheese, and enough walnuts( peeled.( you need to soke the walnuts overnight and drain them just before the party. u just put the walnuts and the fetta cheese in a serving dish, and put the bread in a nother serving dish/basket next to it. (this may cost a bit more. depending on where u get the ingredients)

4. semi matured cheddar/ Colby cheese cut into cubes( big blocks are less than $10, serve in a few small bowls.)

5. Soup. pumpkin/ potato
each of these is enough for 20 peple. good luck and have fun

Answer 4

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNGRl

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 6

Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs

INGREDIENTS
12 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon mustard

DIRECTIONS
Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. To cool more quickly, rinse eggs under cold running water.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Alternatively, wrap bacon in paper towels and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice. Crumble and set aside.
Peel the hard-cooked eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to a small bowl. Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, crumbled bacon and cheese. Stir in mustard. Fill egg white halves with the yolk mixture and refrigerate until serving.

Answer 7

Take some tortillas (any flavor), spread with humus, top with diced cucumber and tomato. Roll onto a log and slice into 1/2 inch "pinwheels". Spread them on a platter and you're done. Try different flavor tortillas to put more color on the plate. Very easy, very cheap, very tasty.
