Cuisine: Hors d'oeuvres
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
These Baked Parmesan Green Beans are very appealing. They word crispy was used in the title, which I removed. They aren't especially crispy, though they are delicious.

Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese
Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese is a wonderful appetizer or side dish! I have been known to wake up in the morning and eat pickled beets. Yes, I know I'm weird! My favorite being Pickled Beets and Eggs. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals, and the juice from red beets has been actually shown to reduce high blood pressure. Beets help cleanse your liver, boost your sex drive (nature's Viagra), combat depression, relaxes the mind, contributes to a sense of well being and the list goes on.

Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp
I love the smokey heat of this Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp. A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. I love the smokey heat. I did not skewer these shrimp with rosemary sprigs, but it's a great idea. This marinade can be used on chicken or any white fish; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the chicken or fish has been cooked and removed. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.
