    Easy Appetizer and Party Food Recipes

    Three sweet & zingy Asian meatballs on a decorative party plate. The meatballs are garnished with minced chives.​

    My Appetizers and Party Food category includes some of our favorite finger foods, side dishes, main entrees, and snacks. Perfect, easy party food!

    I try to focus on easy, mostly-made-from-scratch recipes that are budget-friendly.

    Because these appetizers and party food favorites are mostly homemade, they are healthier than many recipes you'll find on the web.

    You can make many of these in advance to eliminate stress—because, after all, don't YOU want to enjoy the party too?!

    Check out my party snack roundups for ideas: Easy Super Bowl Party Snacks and Feisty Chile con Carne Queso Dip and Party Snack Recipe Roundup!
