Easy Little Appetizers for Happy Hour

Around three o'clock everyday we are looking for a little snack, and maybe a summer cocktail, on the front porch.  

I compiled these photos, just for my reference, for when I run out of ideas, but thought it might also give you a few ideas!  Some were served to guests and others just for the two of us.

Here are a few tidbits that we enjoy:

Mini grilled cheese sandwiches....




Grapes and Cheddar Cheese with Chocolate Balsamic:



"Anything" rolled up in Tortilla Wraps:



A simple tray of cheese and crackers and tortilla chips with home made salsa....


...or cheese and tomatoes on a skewer - with a last minute drizzle of balsamic:



Any type of meatball:


Veggies on a skewer with a dab of flavored cream cheese:


Bruschetta on toasted bagette slices:


Skewered fruit:


Mini quiches:


Pasta Salad on a skewer:



Pretzels with a mustard and maple syrup dip:


Chili lime dip and crackers:


Mini chicken salads:


Taco Dip and chips: 


Cute individual bags of flavored peanuts:



These are just a few ideas of "snackies", "tidbits", "appies", "amuse bouche" - whatever you want to call them - that we have enjoyed munching on with friends or just the two of us!!

Hope this gives you some inspiration!!

  2. Is the mustard/maple dipping sauce a 50/50 ratio? Sounds good:@)
