23 Skinny Appetizer Recipes



House parties, finger foods, champagne – many of us will be ringing in the New Year at a house party, spending it with close friends or family.

When sit down dinners are too formal, I love finger foods – something you can prep ahead then heat just before serving. I went through my recipes and picked out some favorites that would be perfect if you are hosting a New Year's party. Some served cold, others hot, a perfect combination to make any table proud.


Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites


Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip



Skinny Coconut Shrimp


Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

  3. Gina, THANKS SO MUCH for putting this list together. I adore the idea of all my party guests mingling and snacking on finger foods all night! Even better that I'm not stuffing them with a bunch of fattening/greasy food. This list will make it very easy to plan my menu. YOU ROCK!!!!
