Holiday entertaining is one of my very favorite things. I love planning and preparing food for friends and family and appetizers are my very favorite. When it comes to holiday entertaining, appetizers are the one element that can make or break or party. It’s really more about quality over quantity. Having a few, good appetizers is much better than putting too many so-so options in front of your guests.

CHRISTMAS TREE SPINACH DIP BREADSTICKS


In today’s post: Learn how to turn refrigerated dough into an adorable Christmas tree with these spinach dipped stuffed breadsticks! And be sure to check out the sweet nutella version for Valentine’s Day!

As you know, my favorite part about any holiday (after the meaningful stuff like family and togetherness, etc.) is the food. Actually, my favorite part of any given day just might be the food, but hey, to each her own. The Christmas season is especially fun because there are all sorts of opportunities for delicious little snacks that you generally don’t eat all year long. I mean, we’ve already gone through more cheeseballs in the past three weeks than we do for the entire rest of the year, and don’t even get me started on Lil’ Smokies! Anyway, I wanted to make a festive, but still easy, holiday snack you could take to any party, so I came up with these Christmas tree spinach dip breadsticks.



Ingredients 


  • 12 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 garlic clovers,minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup greated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar or mozerella cheese

Cocktail meatballs make the best appetizers, and this Crock-Pot orange cranberry meatball recipe is probably the easiest appetizer ever! It’s perfect for holiday entertaining, or you can even turn this into an easy fix it and forget it type of dinner — just like we did tonight.

My grandmother always made the most amazing cocktail meatballs whenever my parents had their annual Christmas party. Everything was made from scratch, from the meatballs to the sauce, and these were some awesome meatballs. Honestly, all of the guests raved about them!

So, I’ve been trying to find my grandma’s recipe, without much luck. But in the meantime, I have an easy cocktail meatball recipe that tastes just as good and is made entirely in your slow cooker. Seriously.
