The beer battered onion rings are always (and I say – always) the king on our party tables. Everyone simply loves them! Since it takes a little while to fry them (except if you have a huge pan, we don’t), we always have quite a modest amount of them. And trust me, they disappear in just a blink.
The white bean dip is really quick to make. And it is so healthy, too! The taste is quite soft….well, except if you load it with fresh chili pepper just the way I do. Loooots of chili pepper! My mouth is always burning, literally. But I still love it, especially on a freshly toasted bread.
I consider this oven roasted eggplant / eggplant mozzarella tomato bake as a main course. What is interesting is that for some people it is a side dish! I find it quite filling so could hardly imagine some other food aside. In any case, main course or side dish, this bake is amazingly good!
I am a (very) beginner-level expert of mushrooms. Everytime we go picking them (this happens quite rarely though), I always go for the chanterelles or boletus (even better known as porcini). When it comes to the mushroom puff pastry, you can use any type of mushrooms you have. The easiest is of course champignons that can be found at any grocery store. Easy, isn’t it?
Holy Moly Guacamole! Yeah, this is what I would call this homemade guacamole. A super easy to make, so quick and so delicious. If you have unexpected guests passing over, and have the ingredients ready, this will be as simple as 1, 2, 3 for a quick appetizer. And trust me, your guests will love it! Not only for its beautiful colors, but also the flavor.. Oh that flavor!
The Southwest egg rolls take a bit of time to prepare. It is actually the freezing that takes longest, the rest is cooking the ingredients and voilà, the chicken tortilla rolls are ready. The first time I made them, I didn’t keep them in the freezer and got all the filling spread all over the frying oil (this is absolutely to avoid!). Now that I mastered the thing and stopped at this best Southwest egg rolls recipe, I know I have to wait. I must. Just WAIT. This is the toughest part, but hey, send me the message and we will have a chat while waiting 🙂
The cherry tomato bruschetta is one step beyond the regular bruschetta. Why? Because we all are used to the regular bruschetta, meaning, some tomatoes chopped and mixed with fresh basil, and served on a freshly baked bread. This bruschetta is a baked bruschetta, and trust me, once you try this one, you will never go back to the regular one. If you still prefer that one, let me know your motivation in the comments (I don’t think this is possible at all so curious to know why, but whyyyy? 😀 ).
Wondering what is the best way to eat homemade hummus? I do have my all time favorite. How do you eat it? Plain, or maybe with on a toast? There is nothing better than a fresh stick of veggies, but read further to find out my favorite veggie and hummus without tahini combination.
If you have never made nachos for your party, this is your moment! But we’ve got a problem here! You may be asked for a bis, and then it’s your problem lol. I still wonder how to best describe this snack: crunchy, fresh, hot, cold, soft, tender… It has a great mix of amazing flavors and textures. And it’s also so colorful that will definitely look great on the table. I wish you could smell the nachos with beef now that I am about to take them out of the oven. Omg, loving it!
It is with no doubt that if the Italians tried this bread, it would become part of the Italian recipes. Immediately! This Lithuanian fried bread recipe will work for an appetizer, even with a glass of red wine. By the way, I sometimes eat it with salad! Ohh it is so good, can’t wait to make it now. Ready to move on?
The taste of these marinated olives is absolutely stronger if you let them sit for some time. Nevertheless, they are still great for a quick appetizer. If you know you are about to have friends at home, I highly recommend to get the marinated olives ready at least a day before. Otherwise, if you need something quick to serve, here is the best option!
The red pesto is a super quick to make sauce. It can be a great option for an easy-to-make and simple lunch. When working full time, there is not a lot of time left for cooking your lunch. This is why I love to have some homemade pesto in my fridge. All I need to do then, is to make some pasta, and the one I love most with the pesto is spaghetti. I will soon share a great spaghetti with pesto rosso recipe. I till have a secret ingredient, so make sure to follow me on social to be the first to find it out!
