I love a good party. But easy laid back open house-style entertaining. Which I find perfect for summer.
When I host a Sunday summer soiree I serve some of my favorite party finger foods. Things you can eat standing up while mingling and holding a baby.
BEEF SATAY WITH HORSERADISH MUSTARD
I really skewer lots of things. Yes, it’s a partial patchke which is only really against my religion if it’s super hard or super-duper time-consuming. But to skewer sliced beef is really not so bad. The horseradish mustard though is a real favorite and a great burger condiment. You can also try Chicken Satay like the main pic above.
FRIED RISOTTO BALLS WITH MARINARA DIPPING SAUCE
There are a few steps to this recipe but if you make the risotto beforehand it will seriously cut down your prep time. Cut it down even more by using whatever rice you’d like – even instant. This is a cool way to use up leftover chicken. It’s shredded and added to the rice mixture. Make it pareve by omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth.

TUNA TARTAR WITH HONEY SESAME WONTON CRISPS
This presentation is fancy for when you are pre-plating and hosting a holiday or Shabbos meal. At a party place a spoonful of the tartar on each crisp so people can just grab a wonton and pop it into their mouth.
Going Dairy?
I love phyllo it’s so flaky and light it almost doesn’t feel like a carb. People get confused with how to “roll” this. Do it just like you would a flag. Any flag rollers in the house?
Well now this is completely carb free and a HUGE crowd favorite. Make it Pareve by using tofutti cream cheese.
POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE TRIANGLES
Hubby says put anything in a puff pastry and he will eat it. So I do. potato and cheese in puff pastry probably should be illegal. But it isn’t yet so let’s enjoy.

stuffed mushrooms
I’m a sushi lover so I usually make a variety of rolls as appetizers! My personal favorite have smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber in them.
The Smoked Salmon Rolls sounds succulently superb!
Similar salmon rolls are a go-to appetizer for me too! And spanakopitas. New for me here are those amazing risotto balls. Of course I would pick the thing that’s fried! It looks so good.
veggie knishes with mushroom sauce
Everything here looks fantastic! That tuna tartare looks perfect. I am a big fan of anything with mushrooms – mushroom turnovers and stuffed mushrooms. I also love asian dumplings. Yum!
I always make sure to put out lots of crackers and bite sized veggies with all sorts of salatim like choumous, eggplant salad, roasted pepper salad, olive dip… you get the idea 🙂
I was going to say I couldn’t name just one favorite appetizer (because I like so many), but then I saw your Smoked Salmon Rolls–I think the would be my favorite! Those preserves sound delicious and I think they’d be a great accompaniment to several varieties of appetizers.

My favorite is the Potato and Goat Cheese Triangles. I would actually like to try them all, except for the smoked salmon. Too much like sushi. I know it isn’t but… Thank you!
The smoked salmon roll looks good. My family visited the Tishbi winery the past January. We had the best time. The wine was great as was the restaurant they run. I can still taste the jam that was on the table along with the most delicious home made bread. I would love to wi the jam.
I visited Tishbi winery on my one and only trip to Israel last year. Great food & wine! I would LOVE to win any of their jams, especially the onion one!
Yum!

My favorite party food is stuffed capons. They are pretty easy to make and very elegant. I make them for just about every formal sit down party ever, from Sheva Brachot to a large Yom Tov dinner, with lotes of friends and family. They are always a hit.
BRownies since I love dessert more than anything else!
Call me a traditionalist: My fave appetizer is gefilte fish, on lettuce, with horseradish.
Pigs (aka dogs) in a blanket 🙂
My favorite party food is guacamole!
My default fav app has got to be bruschetta with goat cheese. Easy, and when the bread is fresh from the oven, there’s really nothing better.
I love anything with puff pastry for an appetizer. Hot dogs in a blanket, or those cheese puffs look fabulous as well. I once made a salmon wellington as an appetizer and people went crazy for it!
oohh. i’m pretty skinny, so i can eat and love the spanikopita and the goat cheese and potato triangles. thanks!
