Your big event is coming up and you need to decide what appetizers to serve. With so many recipes to choose from how will you ever decide? Should you make healthy choices? Go with a favorite cuisine? What about those comforting foods that we all know are bad for us but they taste so good?

When you are choosing your appetizers, of course the first consideration is your budget. You may have caviar tastes and a hot dog budget. Luckily, there are so many appetizer recipes out there to choose from that you should be able to find several that will please you and your guests. Label each dish so any guests that have food allergies know which ones to avoid and which ones to enjoy.

There is an entire world of appetizers out there. When choosing party food, you can focus on a certain ingredient as your theme, such as seafood, cheese, or poultry. Seafood can easily be transformed into crab cakes, dumplings or you can wrap shrimp or scallops with smoky bacon. Poultry can appear on your table in dumplings, on kabobs or in quesadillas. Alternatively, perhaps you prefer to make a variety of delicious finger sandwiches.

If you prefer to have some without meat, make filo dough stuffed with olives and feta, asparagus rollups or mushroom quiche. If you want it strictly vegetarian or have vegetarian guests to please, try potato puffs, veggie dumplings, or spring rolls. They are delectable!

Puff pastry is one of the great conveniences available in your freezer section at the market. Use them to make beef and mushroom turnovers, tiny beef Wellingtons, or cheese straws. You can even use it to enclose a wheel of Brie topped with delicious caramelized onions. Use it with little smoky sausages to create tiny hot dogs, forming the bun out of the pastry. Alternatively, you can form little pastry cups and fill them with seasoned chicken, sundried tomatoes or any other filling your heart desires.

If you want to make something, your guests will not expect, try filling tiny dishes with spaghetti, and top it off with a single meatball. Everyone will love this! You could try another cutting edge appetizer such as a chicken tender encrusted with pecans and served on a skewer with mustard sauce. Sliders are another very popular appetizer now. These tiny burgers come with all the fixings.

Mexican appetizers can be an entire theme by themselves. Mini tacos, empanadas, and tortilla chips served with a fresh salsa can be a big hit. Asian appetizers are another possible theme you can go with. Serve up some spring rolls, samosas, and potstickers. For a real Asian crunch, wrap up a crisp water chestnut with sweet, apple-smoked bacon.

No matter what appetizers you choose make sure, you make most of them ahead of time. It will save you a great deal of stress on the day of your event if all you need to do is reheat and serve. You want to have time to enjoy your party as much as your guests.
