It’s that time of year again! It’s time to count down to the best recipes of 2022. We are starting with the best appetizers of 2022.
Each category with consist of the best 4 recipes from this last year. Three of this year’s recipes for Best appetizers of 2022 are ones that have been family favorites for a while. The fourth one is a new salad recipe I just discovered this year.
First up is my grandma’s sweet and sour meatballs. I just shared this treasured family recipe last week. It is a recipe that my grandma would make very single Christmas. It’s easy to make and only takes 5 ingredients. Plus, you don’t need to brown or cook the meatballs before adding them to the sauce. You just shape them and add them to the sauce. They cook in that delicious sauce and it just intensifies the flavor of the meatballs.
Next is a new and delicious strawberry poppyseed salad that is a copy cat of a Panera menu item. I haven’t had the Panera version but I love this homemade version. This salad includes a lot of fruit. There is fresh blueberries and strawberries plus canned pineapple and mandarin oranges in this salad.
The third recipe is for a turkey cranberry wreath. It’s a recipe my family has been enjoying for years. We usually enjoy it as out meal, but it is also a terrific appetizer. Crescent roll dough encases a filling made from mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pepper, turkey, celery, parsley, dried cranberries, and swiss cheese.
The final recipe is a slider recipe that I adapted from a recipe I have been making for a while. I learned from a friend this summer how she makes hers and adapted what I learned from her to take a classic recipe I’ve made for years and make it even better. I even served these turkey and swiss sliders at my Christmas Eve party this year.
