Appetizers, finger foods, and delicious dips are great for parties or just a fun family dinner. Here are the top five favorite appetizers and dip recipes that my family enjoys.

1. Mini-Crescent Sausage Links

Mini-Crescent Sausage Links
My kids absolutely love these easy appetizers, and they even enjoy helping me make them. They make 48 rolls, and they always go very quickly.

2. Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sweet and Sour Meatballs
These tasty meatballs are quite easy and the kids like picking them up with toothpicks. Can also be served on rice as a main dish meal.

3. Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are a bit harder to make, but they are worth the effort. A nice "gourmet" touch to your appetizer tray.

4. Wonton Chili Rellenos

These chili rellenos are even good cold! They make large portions so they can be a meal in themselves.

5. Spinach Dip

This classic dip is perfect with crackers or vegetable sticks. Served in a carved bread bowl, this creamy appetizer is perfect for large gatherings.

6. Buffalo Style Chicken Wings

My brother David sent me this delicious recipe for Buffalo Style Hot Wings. You can make these wings ahead of time and reheat them in the microwave or even serve them cold.
