Chicken nuggets
This is a great party idea. Kids and adults love fried chicken nuggets! Homemade chicken nuggets are soooo much better than anything you can buy in the store or at fast-food restaurants. Serve them on a platter with ranch dressing, honey mustard, and/or sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Supply a small, attractive container of toothpicks by your chicken nuggets – no forks required! Here’s a suggestion: Don’t make your chicken nuggets too uniform in shape and size. That way, your party guests will know they’re getting homemade chicken nuggets instead of the processed kind.

This is a wonderful blue crab party food that could easily serve as an appetizer for a seafood dinner. The neat thing about blue crab claws is that they have their own “handle.” If you’ve never eaten crab claws, you just grab the pincher and munch on the bite-size portion of succulent crab meat that’s exposed. After cooking, the fried crab claws can be served with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or both.

This is another easy party food that we serve often. It’s one of my daughter’s favorite party foods, and she makes it often just for her husband and kids. It’s so easy to make that you don’t need a special occasion! To make it fancier, however, you can roll the resulting ball in fresh parsley, chopped nuts, or paprika.

A beautiful party idea!
This party food is super easy to make, but it’s really delicious, and it makes a beautiful presentation when stacked in a circle on a round tray. If you don’t want to go to the expense of deli ham, you can substitute sliced packaged sandwich ham. Virginia cured brown sugar or honey ham works well here. Just make sure it’s sliced thin.

Meatballs is a yummy party food idea!
This is an easy party food recipe that you make ahead and forget about! it’s delicious, too, and it will give you more time to spend with your guests. you can keep these warm in a crock pot, or if it’s a more formal affair, you can heat them in a chafing dish. If you go the chafing dish route, you’ll need to warm the meatballs and peppers first, before placing in the chafing dish.

This great party food is best served cold, with mild crackers or toasted baguettes on the side. For the crab meat, use the refrigerated kind, or pick your own from fresh crabs. Be sure to pick through the meat first to make sure all the bits of shell and cartilage are removed.

Spinach dip photo by sabine01
Spinach dip is a favorite party food of mine. I’ve experimented with lots of different spinach dip recipes, and this is the very best one I’ve come up with. You can serve this in a dish or in any type of round bread loaf. It’s really good in Hawaiian bread because the sweetness of the bread is a good combination with the savory flavor of the dip. For me, the Knorr soup mix and the sweet red bell pepper make the dip special. If you substitute another brand of soup mix, the results won’t be nearly as good!
