How many holiday parties do you have lined up this week?
'Tis the season for friends, fun... and of course, food. If you're anything like me, you're feeling the pressure to have a perfectly clean house, a stack of beautifully wrapped gifts and trays of delicious appetizers for guests.
Luckily, we've found a few recipes that taste so good, you would swear they came from a fancy caterer. And all of them can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes.
Check out three of our very favorite last minute appetizer ideas below:
My son walked down the stairs as I was preparing for a fun Holiday Girls’ Night with a few of my lovely friends. He saw the plate of chocolate chip cookies and was giddy with excitement. He looked at me with big glowing eyes and a cute goofy 6-year-old smile and said, “Mommy, I am so proud of you!”
Want some healthy and tasty ideas for your little one? Check out this great recipe from Mika Shino, author of Smart Bites for Baby.
This is a brainfood version of the classic mac’n’cheese because it contains vegetables and whole grains, as well as flaxseeds and wheat germs.
It is very simple to make and very similar in flavor to the classic mac’n’cheese, but it features the added benefits of protein, added vitamins and DHA Omega 3 fatty acid.
I hope you're hungry, because once you make this artichoke dip, you won't be able to put it down!
This dip is perfect for any occasion. Any holiday dinner, birthday, whatever you're doing, if it involves any food, you should have this dip on the table - I know I do.
Yea, it's that good! Not to mention it's super easy and ready in minutes!
This is one of my favorite recipes when I'm having company or when I just want an elegant meal. It looks beautiful when it's done and the flavor is amazing.
It's like having a restaurant meal at home...AND it's healthy and low in calories! :)
Note: While you can make this with leg of lamb, but I prefer the lamb chops or a rack of lamb because it's more appealing to the eye.
