These wings are so tasty you just can't stop eating them. They're great during football season.

Creamy Dill Cucumber Toasties Submitted by: Dianne McKenzie

I got this recipe years ago from a friend of a friend. I love it and make it all the time for parties. It looks great on the platter, and it is super easy! Everyone loves it!

Tortellini Bites Submitted by: Helen Walck

Unusual hot appetizer that can be prepared earlier in day and reheated in microwave.

Kielbasa with Honey Mustard Submitted by: Megan

This is another odd kielbasa recipe that surprises everyone. It's always a winner at parties. The best type of honey mustard for this recipe is a mustard with more honey texture than mustard. Very easy.

Cocktail Meatballs Submitted by: Lara

These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone's holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.

Olive Cheese Melts Submitted by: Kim McLarty

A scrumptious olive and cheese mixture melted on English muffins.

Sweet and Gooey Chicken Wings Submitted by: Jilly Cooper

Sweet and gooey chicken wings prepared with common ingredients, very tender.

Japanese Chicken Wings Submitted by: TLTRN

Chicken wings are egged and fried in butter, then baked in a tangy sauce of soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Delicious, sticky chicken wings!

Southwestern Egg Rolls Submitted by: Jackie

These aren't traditional egg rolls! Small flour tortillas are stuffed with an exciting blend of Southwestern-style ingredients, then deep fried until golden brown.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs III Submitted by: JOYJENSEN

Slow cooked sweet and sour meatballs with a twist. These meatballs sound strange, but become addicting. They give new meaning to sweet & sour! Enjoy!

Popcorn Nachos Submitted by: sal

Mexican-style spices and shredded Cheddar cheese are lively additions to plain popcorn.

Tomato and Mozzarella Bites Submitted by: MADDIECAT

A great way to serve tomato mozzarella salad. Great presentation. Always a hit. You can find the bite-sized mozzarella at most supermarkets. If they are on the larger side, cut them in half.

Krista's Sticky Honey Garlic Wings Submitted by: MomWhoCooks

These sweet and sticky chicken wings are sure to be a hit with the whole family. The sauce is so much better than store bought jarred sauce. You can fry the chicken wings, but I prefer baking for less fat. This recipe is equally good with thighs, breasts, or skinless boneless chicken. You'd just have to adjust the cooking time. Serve with fried rice and stir fried veggies. Enjoy!

Caprese on a Stick Submitted by: ALZ

This is a great, easy finger appetizer. I came up with it because I love Caprese but it was difficult to serve at large parties. Putting the same ingredients on a toothpick yielded great results.
