Like many worthy ventures in life, entertaining can have great rewards… and yet it carries its own special stresses, too (particularly for the always time-deprived, and particularly during this time of year). For a sophisticated little grown-up soiree or even a big family bash, the options have always been:

  1. Cook everything yourself (affordable and lovely, but labor-intensive)
  2. Hire a caterer (lovely and easy, but pricey)
  3. Search the frozen food aisle for hors d’oeuvres (easy, affordable– but not much to choose from beyond potato puffs)

Appetizers to Go is that missing Option #4

Combining the convenience of ordering in, the quality and selection of a fine gourmet caterer, and prices that are closer to a supermarket, this a great solution to make entertaining easy and flawless. The Appetizers to Go website features over 150 hors d’oeuvres from which you can choose, from the sophisticated (lobster risotto cakes, smoked salmon mousse profiteroles), to the specialty (satays, crabmeat rangoon) to the perennial crowd-pleasers (yup, they have pigs in the blanket). They even have Kosher and low carb items to meet particular needs.

Figure out your theme, your guest count… and let them do the rest

Should your proclivities fail to lean toward menu organization, the site has menus already compiled for most occasions. Throwing a holiday party? You can order their Holiday Collection: 20 mushroom truffle risotto cake, 20 bacon wrapped sirloin w/gorgonzola skewer, 18 artichoke w/boursin 20 beef wellington, for $94.00. Going a bit more casual and kid-friendly? We like the Coney Island Combo: 20 Mini Ruben Sandwich, 20 Potato Knish, 20 Franks in Blanket, 20 Franks in Blanket with Sauerkraut and Mustard, 20 Pastry Puff for $68.00.

And our favorite feature for those who’ve ever guessed wrong how much food to have at a party: type in the number of guests you’re expecting and they’ll give you a recommended hors d’oeuvre amount.
