appetizer

I wanted to find another recipe that would suit sitting in front of the TV Sunday night for my uber-exclusive, faux Oscar party (uber-exclusive because the select attendees must fill the prerequisite of living in this house). I needed something that was easy to make, could be partially prepared ahead of time, would look good and could be eaten as ‘finger food’. Did I mention I wanted it to taste like comfort food too? Afterall, chances are we’ll all be dressed up in our best sleepwear!

Instant party: Set a celebratory mood with a bubbly apple cocktail and a cozy crostini

Have you ever made hummus before? How about swapping out the olive oil and tahini for sesame oil and sweet potato? This golden hummus recipe is a nice variation on the classic Middle Eastern chickpea dip. It still looks like hummus and smells like hummus, but the sesame and sweet potato flavours will surprise your guests.
