7 easy appetizer ideas

football season is here...well, it's been here for a while. and unlike most people, the game doesn't get me too excited. but i tell you what does get me excited...appetizers. i'll let the boys do the watching...i'm perfectly content doing the cooking [and the eating, of course!] so whether you're passionate about football or not, here are some great appetizer ideas for your next gathering.

1. beet hummus and blue corn tortilla chips... mostly, i just love the color combination.

2. falafel...but in this case, we'll call them "falafel poppers"

3. spicy sweet potato chips for a little kick at kick-off

4. baked hush puppies...they're so good, you won't even miss the fried version.

5. guacamole... my go to dish.

6. baked brie with apricot jam and figs...this one is sure to impress!

7. and you can never go wrong with a fruit tray

happy watching!
