BBQ season is here and you’re ready to host a family BBQ. You want to impress your friends with some delicious appetizers, but where do you start? We all know that summer is the perfect time for barbecues and parties, but we also know how stressful it can be trying to come up with something delicious and easy to make.
These delicious BBQ appetizer tips & tricks are quick and simple so you won’t have any trouble getting them ready in time for your neighborhood BBQ party!
1. Small Servings
Appetizers are meant to be small and eaten on the move. If utensils are required, it’s not an appetizer.
2. Cold, Warm, And Hot
Running out of food is a party-killer. Make sure there is always food available by having a cold appetizer, a room-temperature appetizer, and a hot one.
3. Money Misers
Appetizers are great money-saving foods for parties. You only need small amounts of ingredients for each serving. You can get almost 30 small pieces of toast from one baguette! Spend less on the main course by filling your guests up with appetizers.
4. Lost Beverages
Typically drinks accompany appetizers. To help guests keep from misplacing their beverages, give them wine charms or personalized beverage holders as a nice touch.
5. Chill The Wine
Like your wine chilled? Freeze grapes and use them to keep wine chilled in your glass without adding water, which tends to dilute the taste.
6. Dried Up: Making dried tomatoes for your appetizer is not hard, but does take time. Cut lengthwise and place on an oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet in an oven preheated to 190 degrees F. Allow about 10 hours for drying. Let cool and then sprinkle with sea salt and/or olive oil and store in a glass jar in the fridge.
7. Tea Sandwiches: Have fun by coloring cream cheese in pretty pastel colors for tea sandwiches. Use just a few drops of food coloring and blend. Add some sugar and vanilla for a little sweetness.
