I have had this in my recipe collection for quite some time now. I found it when I became a vegan and needed some yummy appetizers to take to friends, whether they were vegan or not. The insides of this dish are so good, everyone keeps sampling and it’s hard to keep enough to actually…

BRUSCHETTA
Nothing starts your Pasta bar off on a more perfect note better than Bruschetta. Of course, the BEST time of year to make this is when you pick your fresh Roma tomatoes off the vine and bring them in. BUT… store bought Romas will do the trick. There is a dairy free Parmesan cheese available…
COWBOY CAVIAR
What a wonderful treat for you and your guests! It is so festive and check out those colors for the holiday season. I have had a similar dish with just black beans, can of corn, one container of goat cheese, 1/3 c. oil and 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar and while I really like this, I…
POPCORN TOFU
Ok…the title intrigued me and I am the biggest fan of popcorn, I just had to try it. It does NOT resemble popcorn in any way but it is a wonderful NEW appetizer worth having at your next get together. It’s delicious! It reminds me of a deep fried mozzarella stick but my sister-in-law says…
HUMMUS
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! This is my new favorite go-to and it’s easy. Do you have a food processor? You can whip this up in minutes and lasts in your frig for up to 2 weeks. It can be served with crackers or veggies or even a yummy bread. It is Gluten free (unless you do…
TABOULI
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful find!!! I happened to peek through a cookbook at my brother’s and found this recipe. A hundred years ago, when I was still teaching and had lunch duty, there was a student that brought Tabouli for her lunch on a weekly basis. This was before I became a vegan,…
TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS
Have you ever experienced PJ CHANGS lettuce wraps? Before children, my daughter and I would share this appetizer with a glass of Chardonnay and I felt like I was on vacation. It was totally different than anything I had ever fixed at home, it was healthy, satisfying and delicious. This recipe took me back to…
IS IT A SOUP, A CASSEROLE OR A DIP?
Whatever it is, it is not vegan or low calorie but it is a delicious comfort food. My nephew and his wife shared this favorite family dinner from her side of the family. They called it Broccoli Cheese Soup but I ate mine with a couple of crackers as a dip. Hmmmmm.. Very Interesting!!!!! If…
MUSHROOM-WALNUT PESTO TART
PAGE 93 Oh my Goodness, what a fun appetizer to take to a gathering AND it was enjoyed by all! ( The children didn’t go for it and opted for cheese and salami with crackers , but the adults all dug in.) My daughter has a gluten sensitivity so I needed to opt out…
TACO FIESTA POTATO CRISPS P.85
I wanted to find a fun finger food I could compliment with a healthy salad for my husband as he watched a game on TV. He’s been off on his food lately so finding something he enjoyed and fun was important to me. I also wanted to experiment with another recipe in Angela Liddon’s book…
