We’re not playing this year: we’re tired, and hungry, and taking easy very seriously. Apps can’t just be easy the way every recipe under the sun is described as easy. They need to be two letters easy. They need to be EZ. So in this week’s episode, we’re sharing easy holiday appetizers and easy appetizer ideas that are easy to cook, easy to portion, easy to eat, and of course, made with store-bought shortcuts.
Apps and Zerts
We’re always looking for easy holiday appetizers, but this year more than ever.
Not only do easy holiday appetizer recipes make it possible to load up on apps without tons of prep and cooking (because, hello, apps and zerts!), but they are also a fun way to make more intimate holiday gatherings like the ones we’ll be having this year feel fancier and more fun.

Oregon Fruit
Oregon Fruit is everything you dream of in a grocery store shortcut: it saves time and effort without any sacrifice of quality or flavor.
Their Red Tart Cherries are canned with just two simple ingredients — cherries and water — that are also Non-GMO Project Verified, contain ZERO high fructose corn syrup, and come packed in cans with BPA-free linings. Their other berries and specialty fruit are equally wholesome and delicious, and ALL of their products can be used in sweet baking, savory cooking, and even cocktails!
Look for Oregon Fruit at your local grocery store, and online at Walmart.com or Amazon.
