If you’ve ever planned a party, holiday dinner or game day extravaganza, you know that the food is often the star.

Before you think of your decorations or maybe, even, who you’ll invite, you’re already thinking: “What are my guests going to snack on while they sip their wine and wait for the main course?” Or “what are my guests going to snack on while they root on their favorite team?”

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, I’ve got over 300 appetizer and snack recipes to help guide your way and plan a party menu that will leave your guests raving!

What is an appetizer?

First, let’s talk technical. The definition of an appetizer is: a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one’s appetite.

I, for one, admit that small dish or not, appetizers are always one of my favorite parts of any meal. Without fail, I am the one you’ll find hovering over the appetizer table at a party. And I’m usually not alone. A great appetizer spread brings people together, breaks the ice and helps guarantee that your party will start off on the right foot.
