Old Fashion Appetizers and Party Foods

Anytime friends gather it seems they always want food.  Here are some recipes for easy appetizers and party foods to try the next time you host a party, game-watching gathering, etc.  Pineapple Cheeseball gives a refreshing taste to this common party food with its additions of pineapple and green bell pepper.  The Dried Beef Cheese Ball is another great variety that is different from the usual or the store-bought ones. Impress your friends with your homemade appetizers!  They go great with an assortment of crackers and/or some celery and carrot sticks.  The crockpot dip is great with tortilla chips and your favorite selection of salsas.

Old Fashion Vegetable Barley Soup

This old time soup recipe reminds me of my childhood.  I grew up in rural Southern Indiana where my family operated an old-fashion general store.  We sold everything from kerosene and gas to fresh sliced luncheon meats and cheeses.  The center of this huge old building held a big old pot-bellied coal stove to provide heat.  Vegetable Barley Soup reminds me of the soups, beans, pot roasts, etc that my mom would cook on top of this old stove.  She had slow cooking down to a science long before crockpots were ever invented.  Give this healthy, old-fashion soup a try.  Maybe it will become a favorite of yours or bring back memories for you, too.
