Appetizer Recipes

Appetizers

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. Proverbs 31:15

Appetizers are an excellent way to add color, taste, and healthy choices to the meal. Relish trays of celery, cherry tomatoes, assorted peppers (yellow, red, green), cauliflower, broccoli...the list is endless. Add a low fat dip as a side and remove the tossed salad from the menu plan and you are ready to go. Fresh fruits are also a tasty and colorful addition to relish trays.
