  1. Oh my goodness, I honestly don’t know where to begin with these delicious appetizers! They all look so inviting and delicious and easy! I think I would like to start with the crab stuffed mushrooms, then the scotch eggs, followed by the bacon shrimp! Definitely making quite a few of these throughout the holidays! Thanks!

    1. You have a great line up! I’m sure all your guests will be happy:) These ideas are great for winter holidays and other times of the year too!

  2. I need at least half of this list in my life. Will be going through some of these links and try to make them ASAP. 🙂
