You don’t want the host to slice the cheese, instead you prefer to have everyone at the party slicing the cheese?

I'm the opposite. I'm happy to eat costco appetizers - I want it to be as easy and stress free to have me over as possible.
I want to spend time with you, I don't care if you hand made some fancy crap.

I’m happy to eat anything but the OP asked what are we excited about!

Just go sit in the driveway in a plastic chair and drink your PBR out of the can.

Well, at this point in my life I'm excited to see anything that I'm confident is gluten free. But before I ate gluten:

Lemon bars
spinach and artichoke tip with yummy bread
in-season fruit

Anything with shrimp
A warm dip
Lots of freshly cut fruit and veg (and not the precut kind from the store. Those are gross)

Something hot - pigs in blanket or spinach artichoke dip

Something cold - shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, or cheese platter

Something crispy - spring rolls, bacon wrapped scallops, goat cheese phyllo cups

Yes. This.


Those are all so creamy and fatty. I'd love to have olives and/or fresh vegetables too. Something to add acid, or fiber, or freshness to all the rich foods.

Fancy cheeses with good crackers, vegetables avail on the side.

Some kind of chocolate dessert (a variety of very small portions is great because I can try several!)

Does wine count?

Buffalo chicken dip

I love anything on a little crostini like these: https://www.marthastewart.com/911324/crostini-and-brushetta-recipes

Something refreshing with cucumber slices topped with yummy stuff.

I like all the things everyone posted, and, am dieting, so I'm always excited to see raw veggies and fresh fruit
