Easy Party Appetizers for Girls-Night-In

Here are two great easy party appetizers that are perfect for girls night in or any time. Get the recipes to some of my all time favorites, here. This post made is made in partnership with Kellogg’s

Once again I’ve partnered with Kellogg’s Town House crackers to bring you two terrific and easy party appetizers for girls-night-in. I love sharing ‘ladies night’ ideas because we have a monthly girls night here in the neighborhood, as do many of you I’m sure. As a hostess, there’s always something new you can incorporate whether it’s a recipe or casual entertaining ideas.

For this party I had a couple of neighbors over for a light, casual supper {see the modern table setting here} and served up some of my tried and true appetizers incorporating the Town House pita crackers and flatbread crackers.

My baked artichoke dip is a winning recipe with guests, and my neighbor liked it because “it’s not overly cheesy.” The flatbread goat cheese & pesto bites are less filling but so full of flavor. A good choice for smaller gatherings since they have to be made individually.

Get the recipes below and trust me – you will want to have them for any casual entertaining you plan to do.

Two Delicious & Easy Party Appetizers

Instead of standing or sitting at the kitchen island {you KNOW that’s where everyone always congregates} I thought it would be fun to sit at the table and have our appetizers there – restaurant style! I pulled out some black and white serving pieces to coordinate with the table setting I had prepared.

Goat Cheese & Pesto Bites

• Town House flatbread crackers
• Goat cheese, softened at room temperature
• prepared pesto, drain off excess oil
• cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

Line up as many flatbread crackers as you want to serve and create these appetizers in assembly-line fashion.

Spread each one with the goat cheese, then add a small dollop of pesto, and top with a slice of tomato.

Baked Artichoke Dip

• 15 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained
• 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 – 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder {NOT garlic salt}

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Finely chop the artichoke hearts – I use my mini food processor for this.

Cook frozen spinach according to package directions. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess water.

Combine all ingredients together and transfer to a small baking dish.

Cook for about 30 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

Serve with Town House pita crackers.

From presentably munch-able options, to dipping inspiration, to versatile possibilities, we have the variety that will help her stylishly host any type of gathering – from planned to impromptu.
