<p>My favorite part of any party is the food &#8211; more specifically, the hors d&#8217;oeuvres. They&#8217;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&#8217;re hosting a <a href="http://thesimpleme.com/2009/08/04/save-money-by-potlucking/" target="_blank">potluck</a> or a holiday party, they&#8217;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:</p>
<p>Mama&#8217;s meatballs <a href="http://sprng.me/16sk" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.springpadit.com/images/springpad_smallicon.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Spring the recipe!</a><br />
