Easy Appetizers in a Pinch

I have found that as we get older, we tend to spend more time at home and in other people’s homes. Instead of going out and staying up late every weekend night, we typically are at a friend’s playing games or watching the game. Most of these nights are impromptu, leaving me standing in front of the pantry wondering what to take to munch on. 

Today, I thought I would share some quick and easy appetizers (with better ingredients) that I’ve made in a pinch that are not only delicious, cheap and tasty- but also easy.  I usually pick any of these items up from Walmart down the street, easy and affordable! #collectivebias Additionally, Skinny Girl Popcorn is exclusively found at Walmart and contains no artificial sweeteners, ingredients or other flavors in it- tasty and not harmful! Double Score!
Brie Bites
  • Phyllo cups
  • Brie (without rind)
  • Toppings (i.e. honey, apple slices, fruit preserves, sliced almonds)

  1. Cut little pieces of Brie
  2. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted
  3. Top with toppings while warm
Spicy Cilantro Lime Popcorn

 **I also love other flavors like butter/garlic with a little sauteed garlic and basil- yum!

  1. Pop corn (so easy)
  2. Top with cilantro, red pepper, lime, etc. 
  3. Toss and Serve 
Make sure you remember, this is only found at Walmart and comes in a variety of flavors, I recommend picking some up! It alo makes the perfect mid day snack if you’re a snacker like me!

**This popcorn is also delicious alone if you’re not feeling up for the extras. 

Goat Cheese and Red Pepper Jelly 
  • Goat Cheese Log
  • Red Pepper Jelly
  • Crackers or Baguette bread
  1. Top bread or crackers with goat cheese (at room temp) and top with pepper jelly.

See what I mean? Great ingredients, flavorful and SUPER easy. These ares seriously some of my favorite go-tos and they never get old. I simply switch up the small things and they seem new each and every time!
Have a fantastic weekend friends, thank you for reading! Aaron is off all weekend WOOT WOOT! We have no plans, but hopefully have something fun in the works! xoxox
