((I am having trouble getting the code to work here and am waiting on an answer from the smart computer literate people on how to fix it...I just cook and raise children I'm not Wonder Woman nor would I ever try to pull off the look...now that I am older. Here is the link to the wonderful list of other participants and the brains behind this fun list! http://thursday-13.com/ )) Happy Eating!


1.Bruschetta...this is universal!
2. Chicken Wings with a variety of dip. The good thing about Sharon is she is a sports fan. The woman not only loves hockey but she plays and so game day apps are always on the menu!
3. Hot Crab & Artichoke Dip...another universal. I like to add water chestnuts for added texture.
4. Stuffed Mushrooms...I am loving Crimini mushrooms right now. They are also called Baby Portobellos.
5. Brie & Apricot Crostini
6. Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos...really did you read past "bacon wrapped" cause I was in love at that point.
7. Sticky Ribs
8. Cream cheese Jalapeno Jelly Dip...if I hadn't tried it before I knew what it was I would never have ever thought this could work but it is so damn good.
9. Salmon Wontons with a Balsamic Cream dipping sauce...savory and silent moment worthy treat.
10. Antojitos
11. Guacamole...both Sharon and I have this as a go to quick app. It is refreshing during a summer BBQ or something in the dead of winter to give you hope that warmer weather is headed your way.
12. Cheese Plate...another go to app that requires little prep and gos perfectly with our next app...
13. WINE! Don't you dare say it isn't a starter! Have a couple of different wines. I like to have my favorites on hand and then pick up a couple of local made wines to try out.
