Ree Drummond, the culinary queen of the Food Network, is back this Saturday with a new episode of “The Pioneer Woman,” and this time, she’s tackling the art of the appetizer. In “Apps Made Easy,” Ree aims to take the stress out of party prep, offering viewers a selection of quick, simple, and – most importantly – delicious recipes for any gathering.
Forget the fussy, complicated hors d’oeuvres; Ree’s approach is all about approachable elegance. She kicks things off with Tex-Mex Sausage Balls, served with a dipping sauce that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. From there, she moves on to Crostini Two Ways, offering both a savory Gorgonzola and Prosciutto option and a lighter Roasted Pepper and Parm version. And because no party is complete without a touch of sweetness, Ree whips up a batch of Mini Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cakes, complete with a festive pink frosting.
For those who prefer their appetizers with a bit more heft, Ree also prepares Ribeye Bites with Horseradish Mustard Aioli. It’s a menu designed to satisfy a range of tastes and demonstrate how easy it can be to create impressive appetizers without spending hours in the kitchen.
Tune in to Food Network this Saturday, March 29th at 10:00 AM for a lesson in stress-free entertaining, Ree Drummond style.
