I love zucchini and I don’t object to the sudden flurry of recipes using this veggie, so I hope you’re not sick of seeing zucchini recipes. I’m here to add to the fun with these spicy zucchini chips.

Making one appetizer is usually pretty easy to do. Making piles of appetizers and pretending it was an easy way to make a complete meal is a great way to be surprised by how much work they can be to make.

These bite sized mushrooms are stuffed with a jalapeno hummus and covered in cheddar cheese.

Cheese and crackers is the appetizer to end all appetizers. It’s easy for the host to put out and it’s always a crowd pleaser for the guests. Sounds like a win win to me. Typically I’ll serve it in addition to other homemade appetizers. What’s one more appetizer, right?
