My favorite part of any party is the food – more specifically, the hors d’oeuvres. They’re cute, easy to hold, and small enough that you can try a little bit of everything! So why not apply the concept to the rest of your meal and serve an array of finger food? Whether you’re hosting a potluck or a holiday party, they’re the perfect thing to dish out. Kids want to eat with their fingers anyway, and adults will be happy to try a variety of foods. Here are a few of my favorite finger food recipes:
Mama’s meatballs

Gingerbread mini-muffins

These are great recipe ideas for cocktail party.
Thanks for sharing.
Great looking recipes – but I’m curious to what that photo is of…it looks like chicken/turkey meatballs? Do you have a recipe for that or is it just a stock photo?
I love sweet potato fries and ginger muffins- yum!
Thanks! Yea, they’re all pretty delicious, and easy to serve to guests.
Kim – that photo is actually of shrimp skewers we had at a baby shower awhile back… it was catered, but here’s a good shrimp recipe if you’re looking http://sprng.me/1pf4
