Cheese Tortellini Cups
Very unique appetizer! Cheese tortellini (or pasta of your choice) with tomatoes, black and green olives, roasted peppers, shallot, garlic, fresh peas in a light vinaigrette and served in a cup for easy eating on the go.
Spanakopita
Perfect on the go appetizer for any occasion. Delicate phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and feta. "Nostimos" means delicious in Greek. (see more Greek specialties below).
Chicken Spiedini
Think chicken fingers for adults! I marinate chicken in garlic, lemon, olive oil and spices and then coat with Italian and panko breadcrumbs, parmigiana reggiano cheese, broil till golden brown and then drizzle with a balsamic, Dijon and honey mustard. Your guests will do the “chicken dance” when they eat my spiedini!
Mini Caprese Sandwiches
Awesome appetizer that's sure to impress your guests! Fresh mozzarella cheese and basil with thin sliced roma tomatoes stuffed in a crusty baguette and topped with an extra virgin olive oil, garlic and basil aioli. Molto Bene!
Wings
Don't be chicken! Order your wings any way you like them. Traditional Buffalo style, spicy, sweet, tangy BBQ or a combination. Served with blue cheese or ranch dressing, carrots and celery.

I recently attended a culinary trade show in NY and one appetizer I tasted stood out. It was a French baguette topped with black and green olives, lots of cheese and some other stuff that the chef made me promise I would keep a secret. It was sliced into squares [...]
Greek Salad Bites
Simple. Refreshing. Scrumptious. I take cucumber, feta, grape tomatoes and kalamata olives then drizzle with Greek vinaigrette and place on toothpick for easy goodness on the go. Your guests will break plates and yell OPA!
Roasted Garlic & Goat Cheese Crostini
On a recent food trip to wine country, I came across my new favorite appetizer. It was slow roasted garlic spread on a toasty baguette and topped with goat cheese, roasted red pepper and fresh basil. So good I stole the idea and it's sure to be a hit at [...]
Spinach & Artichoke Dip
My spinach and artichoke dip is so good that you would let George Costanza "double dip" his chip! Stole that line from an episode of "Seinfeld!" Served with pita bread and/or tortilla chips.
Jalapeno Poppers
Much better than the typical fried bar food version. Ours are made with fresh jalapenos stuffed with mixture of cream, jack and cheddar cheeses, green onion and topped with bacon then baked. I also make a version without the bacon and a new crowd favorite stuffed with BBQ pulled pork. They're [...]
