Appetizer Recipes

These are 2 of my favorite appetizer recipes. They are perfect for keeping Thanksgiving guests occupied while the turkey is cooking!

Creamy Crab & Artichoke Dip

• 1 package (8oz.) Crab Meat (fresh, frozen, imitation or canned will work in this recipe)

• 1 cup mayonnaise


• 1/3 cup chopped Onion


• 1 can (13.75oz.) Artichoke Hearts (drained & chopped)


• 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, blend cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and place into a glass pie plate. Bake uncovered, for 15-18 minutes, until heated through and lightly browned. Serve with crackers or cocktail bread.
