While I usually enjoy cooking and baking when we have company I don't always have the time. For days like this, I like to keep a stash of nuts, dried fruits, and dried sausages in the house so I can assemble a tasty appetizer platter. This is especially helpful during the busy holiday season when we can have a bunch of unexpected guests visiting. Really anything goes just use your imagination and have some fun.
Potential pantry items to keep on hand:
- tapenade (my favorite)
- roasted peppers
- olives
- stuffed grape leaves
- marinated artichokes
- cornichons
- nuts
- dried fruits
- breadsticks
- crackers
Things in your refrigerator:
- grapes
- apples
- pears
- cheese
- dried sausage
These are just some suggestions for you. If you see something tasty in your cabinet or refrigerator feel free to use it. All you need is a nice platter and you build from there.
Enjoy!
