They can be mild or spicy, hot or cold, made with meat or vegetarian style, and in many cases require little or no refrigeration. Appetizers can be prepared in endless ways, and can be served for most any occasion, whether it be a holiday, party or social event,

Marinated Mushrooms
Even if you're not the biggest mushroom fan, chances are you're going to love these marinated mushrooms! This Marinated Mushrooms recipe (also sometimes referred to as "pickled mushrooms") features small white button mushrooms that are marinated in a tangy mixture of red wine vinegar, oil, garlic and herbs. They're incredibly easy to make, yet are packed with flavor! Perfect as an appetizer, side dish or with salads.
Marinated Strawberries with Cheese and Bacon
These marinated strawberries are truly unique, beginning with tossing halved strawberries with a marinade of balsamic vinegar, chopped fresh basil and fresh parsley. Mascarpone cheese is combined with a small amount of freshly ground pepper, then piped or spooned onto each strawberry half. Crumbled bits of crispy bacon are then sprinkled on top of the cheese, giving these strawberries a delightful crispy crunch.
Meatballs with Cherry Sauce
Meatballs with Cherry Sauce features cocktail-sized meatballs made with lean ground beef and bulk pork sausage combined with fresh parsley, fine bread crumbs, milk, egg and diced onion. Once browned, the meatballs are stirred into a divine dark cherry sauce made from pureed canned pitted dark cherries, ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon, freshly squeezed lemon juice and vinegar. Mildly sweet and tangy!
Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze
Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze have a festive and tangy flavor, and are great for any occasion. This recipe calls for ground pork, but you can certainly use other ground meat, such as lean ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken. These meatballs make a great Thanksgiving appetizer (especially if made with ground turkey), because the sauce is made with cranberry sauce and seasoned with spices found in pumpkin pie.
Barbecue Meatballs
This Meatballs with Grape Jelly and Chili Sauce recipe features mini-sized ground beef meatballs seasoned with minced onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley and Worcestershire sauce and tenderized with egg, milk and bread crumbs. The sauce is a simple, quick and easy combination of grape jelly and red chili sauce, which when combined produces a very flavorful sauce enjoyed by both kids and adults. Great for any occasion!
Mini Calzones
Mini Calzones are petite appetizers made with your choice of homemade bread dough or pre-packaged dough. These little crescent shapes are stuffed with a mixture of crumbled Italian sausage and a combination of ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. They are then rolled in melted butter, then rolled again in grated Parmesan cheese, and baked in just 15 minutes until golden. Delicious served with marinara.
