Pineapple Cheese Ball. I love a good appetizer recipe, especially if that recipe is quick, easy and tastes great!

So naturally, I started with some dips, and then quickly realized I could fill a whole post with just those! So I decided to skip the rest and just highlight our favorite dips, because often those are the hit of the party anyway. So grab a bag of chips and a big crusty baguette and dig in! Hot Corn Dip This is one of my absolute favorite dips. Don’t stress that fresh corn isn’t in season, it’s just as great with frozen fresh corn (just stay far away from canned!) Hot Crab DipEvery time I see this picture I want to dunk a chunk of warm bread onto it. Jalapeno Popper Dip Jalapeno Poppers are a game-day staple, so try this creamy cheesy version right out of a bowl. Roasted Red Pepper Dip This is one of the first dips ever posted on our blog and it’s definitely become a reader favorite.

Easy Holiday Appetizer

It seems busier than ever and I’m not sure why. Maybe because my kids are getting older, which means more to do, and there was a bit of traveling during November to keep us on our toes. I can hardly believe Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. I’m all about keeping things simple this year. I’ve never had or made Cucumber Rolls before making this recipe, but I loved the flavors of feta with kalamata olives and sundried tomatoes inside refreshing cucumbers. What do you do to keep things simple during this time of year?
