Appetizer Recipes

This was an end-of-summer soup at our house, made with Grandma's juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes.
We ordered egg rolls just like these at the Chinese restaurant in the big city near Grandpa's farm.
These are so easy that my brother and I could prepare them by the time we were 10 years old.
One year Grandma's pepper jelly turned out so hot we had to rush for some water.
I relied on Grandma's recipe to make easy finger food snacks for the first party I hosted on my own.
When Grandma's garden was ready to harvest, we celebrated with this vegetable soup.
Grandma was glad to serve these tasty croquettes-and we were glad to gobble them up.
We loved plucking tomatoes and snipping basil from Grandma's garden for this salad.
Grandma says she created this recipe because Grandpa went to the town's drive-in nearly every day for their fries.
This appetizer platter is loaded with cheeses, olives, salami and seafood. Grandma would set it out for us to pick on before a meal.
Mild and sweet Vidalias have a short season and limited supply that can make them scarce and pricey. Substitute other large sweet onions, such as Oso Sweets from Texas, Walla Walla or Maui onions.
You can retain the silky smooth texture of these classic tartlets and stretch your grocery budget by substituting 1 cup whole milk for the half-and-half cream specified in the recipe.
