We had out annual Festivus party recently and I just wanted to share our easy appetizer menu with you! I did most of the prep the day before and the only cooking I had to do the day of the even was to cook one of the dishes, everything else was already done!
Vegan Hush puppies (recipe here)
- I doubled up on this recipe just to be sure we had enough and also perhaps for some left overs. I prepped the batter the night before and let it sit overnight in the fridge. It took about 30-40 minutes to fry them up the day of the party and we ended up with about 40-50 pieces total.
Bruschetta (recipe here):
- I picked up some already prepared baguette rounds from Fresh Market (rosemary sea salt and also roasted garlic). The actual tomato topping recipe I made the night before and let sit in the fridge overnight. It was still great over the course of the next few days to eat with the bread and I even used it with some pasta later on.
Meat and Cheese (not everyone is vegan):
- We simply picked up some blocks of mozzarella and Colby cheese, also some pepperoni and sliced it up ourselves. Though the party platters at the store look pretty convenient, check the price next time you are temped to pick one up. It could be cheaper just to buy the blocks of cheese and meat and cut it up yourself, it really doesn't take that lone!
Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcake Cones (recipe here):
- These worked pretty well. Though I will say, they end up being a bit awkward to eat since all the icing stays at the top, but otherwise they were tasty!
