To alleviate some of the stress the holidays bring, we’ve rounded up our favourite appetizer recipes, so you don’t have to think about it.

With December just around the corner (Yikes!), you’re likely playing host for at least one gathering. To alleviate some of the stress the holidays bring, we’ve rounded up our favourite appetizer recipes, so you don’t have to think about it. You’re welcome!

Devilled EggsIs it possible to have a party and not make devilled eggs? We think not also.

Smokey GuacamoleTortilla chips, sliced pita wedges, even diced raw veggies—everything tastes better smothered with guacamole. Dip it good!

Vegetarian Party SandwichesUsing good quality store-bought hummus and thinly sliced veggies, these festive open-faced sandwiches are visually appealing yet incredibly easy to make.

Baked Spinach and Potato SamosasThis healthy (and simple) take on the traditional samosa skips the pastry and instead uses halved flour tortillas to hold the spiced filling.

Salmon NigiriMake your own sushi rather than grabbing takeout. Make sure to choose wild Pacific salmon, which is a less contaminated, more eco-friendly choice than farmed salmon.

Sherried Shrimp with Romesco SauceSkip the shrimp ring this year, as they’re often made with imported shrimp and can contain harmful toxins. Instead, whip up this tasty recipe, and choose only domestically sourced, certified sustainable shrimp.

Marinated Feta, Olives, and Roasted Red Pepper SkewersThese festive skewers match perfectly with holiday decorations. Not to mention, they’re easy enough for kids to put together—more time for you!
