Party Recipes: Hors d'oeuvres

Hors d'oeuvres, or, as we like to say, whores-de-vours, are basically just appetizers and finger foods. These are all the little snacky things you need to have out when your guests first arrive. In fact, you can throw a great party with nothing more than hors d'oeuvres and drinks. If you'd like to pass along your own hors d'oeuvre recipes to us, send them our way!
