Sometimes the most basic ingredients make the best party or cocktail appetizers. Take, for instance, the Goat Cheese Bites that I made for my latest YouTube video. To make the bites, you simply blend goat cheese and a hard cheese (such as Parmesan) in a food processor. Then you form the mixture into bite-size balls, and dredge them in chopped herbs, chopped nuts, or a combination of both. Insert a pretzel stick into each little globe, and voila — you’ll have the perfect appetizer for almost no effort at all! Here’s the printable recipe:
