    Can you believe that November is here? This year I wanted to publish a series of posts of my favorite holiday recipes. Every post will have a "Meatless" list and a "Meat lovers" list. As you know my husband doesn't eat meat and I think that every party should have a meatless alternative in the menu!

    So, for starters, pun intended, here are my favorite appetizer recipes from my site. Are you planning a holiday party?

    Roasted Asparagus Wrapped with Serrano Ham

    Shrimp Cocktail

    Shrimp in Garlic Sauce

    Stuffed Tomatoes with Tuna Salad

    Fried Green Plantain with Avocado and Shrimp

    Shrimp and Tuna Cakes with Avocado Sauce

    Prunes Wrapped with Bacon

    Shrimp Deviled Eggs

     

    Meatless:

    Tortellini and Tomato Skewers

    Mushrooms in Garlic Sauce

    Endive with Herbed Cream Cheese and Caramelized Apples

    Cassava Croquettes

    Spinach Balls with Tomato Sauce

     Empanadas Filled with Peanuts and Potatoes

    Bean and Roasted Pepper Crostini

    Ripe Plantain Balls
