A LITTLE SOMETHING

APPETIZERS

It is so much tastier when you prepair hors d'oeuvres and appetizers in your own kitchen. Store bought stuff is generic and one taste fits all. If you want a bit more this and a little less that.."Make it so."

I am a huge fan of the one bite morsels and their big brother. I will be posting hors d'oeuvre and appetizer recipe suggestions on a VERY regular basis.

Here are a few I will be doing for a dinner I to cook on April 3rd.. I hope you enjoy.
