A roundup of healthy appetizers to make for the holidays or just for entertaining in general. Vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly options your guests will LOVE.
I’ll just put it right out there….HOW is Thanksgiving over and December is next week?! Not only has the second half of this year FLOWN by, but November has pretty much disappeared before my eyes. Lots of work projects, my 25th birthday, Thanksgiving…all over and now we’re onto December.
Good thing I got most of my Christmas shopping done early this year, because otherwise I would have no time to do it in the upcoming month. Being extra busy with work this month on top of all the holiday festivities/events I am attending with my family and friends means I’ve had to rely on easy to make recipes to contribute to the various potlucks I’ve been invited too. I always love bringing a dish for other guests to enjoy, but I’ve found bringing a fun appetizer has been easier this year with my lack of time!
Today, I am sharing some of my favorite festive appetizers that you can make for any upcoming holiday parties you’ll be attending. Let’s face it…there will be A LOT of gatherings from now until New Year’s, so you definitely don’t want to show up empty-handed.
These simple yet delicious HEALTHY appetizers will be a hit amongst the guests at any get-together you go to! Plus, they are great for ANY time of year, not just the winter holiday season.
Check out the list and tell me what you’ll be bringing to your next holiday party!
