Appetizers

Welcome to my whimsical selection of plant-based appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and finger foods. If you like to throw parties and host gatherings, you’re bound to find a vegan recipe to share with your guests.

This section includes everything from dips (like my bitchin sauce) to savory small bites (like vegan deviled eggs). For something lighter and less filling, check out my refreshing bruschetta topped with a tomato ladybug, sitting upon a fragrant basil leaf.

Whether you’ve been vegan for half your life (like me) or you’re just starting to dabble in the world of plant-based cuisine, these appetizer recipes are for you. Get ready to impress your friends and family!
