Old standbys

So I promised some more deets on what we snacked on when the soon-to-be in-laws came for a visit (hi Jim and Rose!). So with this post I will share some of my old standbys when it comes to snacks for company. They are easy, tasty and will impress your crowd whether it's parents or ravenous young men hungry for food and football (we seem to have a lot of the latter at Casa de McBitter).

Pizza bites, mmmm.

So first up, the pizza bite. What's more delicious than a bite size morsel of pizza? Nothing. Seriously, if you find something more satisfying than this let me know, you might also be able to solve global warming and peace in the Middle East. You can find the recipe over at Annie's Eats.

Sammies.

My other regular entertaining snack is also from Annie's Eats, enter the ham and cheese pretzel bites (sorry I forgot to take a picture). Are you sensing a trend? Bite sized treats are the best. It takes a little extra time to make the pretzel dough and boil the finished product, but believe me the hassle is well worth it.

And my final standby snack is the ham and cheese sammies from Tasty Kitchen. Yum. These are insanely easy to make ahead of time and you can just pop them in the oven 15 minutes before your guests arrive.

Enjoy! Look for a future post on some new recipes I tried out when the Bitters came for a visit, there will be cake and carbs!
