I have been looking for some good appetizers for our family 4th of July get together. We are smoking some meat and needed some goodies to go with it. There are several here that I have bookmarked and we are making. I am so looking forward to trying that tomato corn avacado salsa!!!!
My husband likes your bacon wrapped recipes while I like the lighter items like the caprese kabobs or zucchini fries.
Pretty much live on on your salsas & dips in the summer!! We love the caprese kabobs too. Love the grilling time of year!!
Great appetizers for any occasion. No need to look further. Best ideas here!
