Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries

These Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries are a healthier version of zucchini fries. I have included a recipe for Apricot Dipping Sauce, which is a nod to the beloved Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain in Los Angeles. They were famous for their Zucchini Zircles. You can also cut them into discs. I really hate deep-frying, so these are done in the oven, which is so much easier and less messy.

Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Puffs

Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Puffs

Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Puffs is a great hors d'oeuvres for a party. Scrounging around the pantry, fridge and freezer and actually finding some decent ingredients makes me very happy. I needed a quick hors d'oeuvre and this is what I created. It's a good idea to always have some puff pastry in the freezer!

Shrimp Puffs

Shrimp Puffs

Shrimp Puffs are a super easy appetizer to make and are really delicious! Yes, it's another hors d'oeuvres for all that entertaining you're going to do! This one is very easy and delicious. If you can't find tiny bay shrimp, use regular size shrimp and cut them up. Warning - these are addictive! NB - I made the filling the day before the event.

Shrimp Wonton Cups

Shrimp Wonton Cups

These Shrimp Wonton Cups are a hit at any party. I have to say, hors d'oeuvres are my favorite thing to eat. We often go to restaurants and sit at the bar and order appetizers instead of a full meal. Here's one I recently tested. The next time I would use round wonton wrappers.

Baked Parmesan Green Beans

Baked Parmesan Green Beans
