APPETIZERS

These recipes make perfect appetizers for Christmas or Thanksgiving buffets, game day noshing, or just an easygoing light dinner. Make a batch of homemade hummus to serve with a charcuterie plate or try your hand at making homemade BBQ chips or crackers.

With these homemade options, we can snack to our heart’s (and belly’s) content without succumbing to plastic-packaged, ready-to-eat snacks.

If you’re trying to reduce your dependence on grocery stores, these simple appetizers are a great start — make them for a small party or make them for a crowd. You’ll save money (have you seen the price of ready-made hummus??) and eliminate wasteful packaging by making your own snacks and hors de’oeuvres at home.
