During the summer I love the grill, during the holiday season I love easy finger foods and appetizers for casual parties so everyone can just grab a bite and keep on mingling.
Today I have a couple appetizer recipes with a kick. The first one is a spicy spinach mini quiche, the second is a deviled egg recipe with smoked salmon. Both recipes are courtesy of Tabasco, and sound delicious for the holiday season.

I have a fun and easy appetizer to share with you today. I love to make these for casual holiday parties, like the book club getting together, or a holiday gathering of friends. These little finger food sized taco tartlets are also fun to munch on during a football party, when your favorite team is in one of the college bowls coming up, or the playoffs.
I got some coupons for some Nasoya Wonton Wrappers, and they make the perfect crust for this easy taco appetizer.

I haven’t rounded up all the fun things there are to celebrate in September yet, but when I do, I’ll make sure I include International Bacon Day on the list. Today I have a delicious appetizer idea featuring bacon.
You can use this recipe to celebrate Bacon Day, or for any of your other fall celebrations. I think it would be a wonderful recipe for a football party. You could switch it up and serve it on some homemade corn chips.
