I make it for special occasions like birthdays, Christmas parties, and more. When my friend's husband needed lower-fat snacks, she served him this fresh-tasting shrimp spread. Cucumber slices are a fun and healthy alternative to crackers. Fans of bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches will fall for this creamy dip.
It's easy to transport to different functions and always draws recipe requests. A cheese ball is a classic appetizer to take to any gathering, and it's so easy to make. This version, studded with tangy dried cranberries, is a holiday hit. Fresh basil, summer-ripe tomatoes, and melted mozzarella cheese top toasted English muffins in this fabulous afternoon pick-me-up.
My daughters sometimes call my guacamole "five-finger guacamole" to remember that it is made with only five ingredients. I always come home with an empty container when I bring this dish to a party and I've used the recipe for years. It can be made ahead to free up time later. I serve it with pretty party picks for a festive, holiday look.
This recipe is a convenient make-ahead snack. I love the garlic flavor in these roll-ups. Every time I serve them, they're a hit. When we get together with friends, I like to prepare this creamy spinach dip. It's a real crowd pleaser. We're of German heritage, so we love bold flavors. Cheddar and beer make a tangy dip to serve with pretzels, crackers, pumpernickel, and brats. Choose a beer that you really enjoy the flavor of, as it will come through in your finished recipe.
These easy shrimp look impressive on a buffet table and taste even better! The zesty sauce has a wonderful spicy citrus flavor. I especially like this recipe because I can prepare it ahead of time. You can assemble this effortless appetizer in a jiffy. The pizza-flavored dip goes very fast, so you may want to make two batches. Whenever the ladies of our church host a shower, these pita sandwiches appear on the menu.
Not only are they easy and delicious, they add color to the table. I never thought of using waffle-cut fries as a scoop for dip until a friend of mine did at a baby shower. They're ideal for my cheesy bacon and chive dip, which tastes just like a baked potato topper. This colorful and tasty appetizer is always a crowd-pleaser. People will never know you've used lighter ingredients. You'll know this snack is a hit at your next gathering when you come home with an empty pan.
This is such a wonderful appetizer! Your guests will be impressed. A golden exterior gives way to warm, melty cheese, making this perfect for sliced French bread or crackers. This recipe makes art in a bowl! All the colors of summer are captured in this dish with a fresh, light flavor perfect for snacking between swims or to kick off a backyard barbecue.
This can be served with chips or alone as a side dish. This cool and creamy dip is a real family favorite for snacking. Kids are all smiles while they munch their fresh veggies. I'm a caterer, and this is one of my best-selling appetizers. With shortcuts like prepared caramel and pre-sliced apples, it's a breeze to prepare. Each year, I share Christmas cheer by setting up a buffet at my family's hardware store.
This cheese spread is always a biggie! Cooking, bathing, drying clothes, washing dishes and other everyday activities add moisture to the air. Some heating appliances, including unvented natural gas or kerosene models, also increase the moisture inside your home. Check for surface discoloration, such as yellowing material, rounded brown spots or black, often furry-looking discolorations that indicate mold and mildew growths.
Pay close attention to the wall texture. Peeling paint is a prime indicator of moisture problems, along with warping or buckling surfaces. Surfactant leaching, or the appearance of brown residue or streaks on interior and exterior painted surfaces, is a common problem that occurs when painting with water-based latex paint. What causes condensation? Condensation occurs when hot, moist air hits cold, dry air.
This meeting causes water droplets to form on the cold surfaces like your walls. Cigarette smoke and gas heat can leave residues on walls that when wet can run down walls in condensation and look yellowish brown. Wet surfaces attract moisture, so wipe them down to get rid of the excess damp.
There are very few household paints that offer this level of longevity, and it means you will avoid that bi-yearly repaint of your home that you will need to do with other paints — including latex paints. Chalking occurs due to ultra violet UV radiation from sunlight interacting with the constituents within the paint film. While these solutions may keep your house windows from fogging up temporarily, a more permanent solution would be to replace your window panes.
Your windows may be foggy due to extreme temperatures between the indoors and outdoors, an excess of plants around your home or a broken window seal in double-pane windows. When your window seal breaks, moisture begins to form between the panes, giving your windows a milky, foggy look. For the most part, double-pane windows, or insulated glass units , work extremely well. They handle all types of weather and do a great job of retaining heat in the winter and cool air in the summer.
There is an insulating airspace in between the glass panels that maintains a consistent temperature and reduces heat loss. Most modern windows have two seals : an inner seal to protect against moisture and corrosion and an outer seal to protect the strength of the window. The seals hold a spacer in place—usually a tube containing water-absorbing chemicals.
When one seal begins to break, the other seal can last for a little while.
