 Hey guys, welcome back to my kitchen today. I have a Appetizer kind of snack inspired video. You know that I do these every once in a while But the thought behind today's video was that it is football season and I know that we have the holidays coming up So giving you guys some appetizer ideas slash finger foods foods that are great for hosting I love giving you guys those kinds of ideas. So the first thing that I'm putting together here is some taco cups or Actually, I think they're called wonton taco cups and I've never made anything with wontons before I didn't realize how simple they are to use so you could use a muffin tin But I actually like using these silicone muffin liners and then just setting them on a cookie sheet I feel like everything comes out a lot easier when you bake in silicone So I went ahead and sprayed them first and then you want to put one wonton wrapper in the bottom of each of the liners or the muffin cups depending on what you're using and By the way, you can find these wrappers the wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section at your grocery store It took me a little bit to find mine, but I did end up finding them I don't think every grocery store carries them But a lot of them do so check the refrigerated section and I while I was preparing the toppings I actually cooked up the meat. So I cooked up a pound of beef You could also do ground turkey any kind of ground meat you like to use and then I added some salt and some chili powder to That until it was all cooked together And then you want to layer that meat on to the wonton on the bottom of the cup and Then you'll put a little bit of cheese in there And I feel like you could be super flexible with the ingredients you want to stack into these you can use any kind of cheese and Put any really toppings or ingredients you want to so after you do one layer You'll go through and put another wonton wrapper on top of the first layer and just repeat the same Type of layers so whatever you put on the bottom repeat it on the top And then you're gonna go ahead and put them in the oven as always the recipes and info that I am using I will leave a link in the description box So once these are baked up they kind of hold their cup shape Which I love and you can easily set them on a platter or a plate and Then you can add your other toppings now one thing you could do is make this kind of a buffet style And then have everyone top their own the way that they want to or you could go ahead and top them And have them ready for kind of a grab and go so what I put on these was some sour cream some fresh sliced tomatoes and olive on top some Green onions. I just chopped those up. You could even add cilantro to this You could really do anything you wanted to as far as toppings goes and you could make them spicy I have little ones and we were gonna eat these for lunch this day So I did not go the spicy route But you could just do whatever you want and then I did squeeze some lime over them which made them amazing And they were so delicious. I want to say a big thank you to pure oxygen for sponsoring this week's video They sent me their pure oxygen pee 500 HEPA air filter with a UV sanitizer and ionizer and this thing is really great You guys know how much I love air purifiers in my home I just feel like it helps our overall wellness to have an air purifier Purifying the air that we are breathing every day say goodbye to dust mold Pet dander smoke bacteria parabens and allergens this air purifier is perfect for large rooms up to 550 square feet the highly sensitive sensors detect contaminants in the air and start the purification process Automatically the HEPA filter removes 99.9 percent of airborne contaminants and activated carbon filter helps remove bad odors So ion generator helps clean the air from dust pollen pet dander mold spores and other potential allergens negative ions remove the debilitating effects of excessive positive ions in the environment It has a relaxing effect and normalizes a respiration rate decreases blood pressure and relieves tension The ultraviolet light helps to improve the air quality by removing common causes of illness and allergic reactions It's especially recommended for use by those with a compromised immune system asthma or allergens It includes three speed modes It has a six stage advanced purification system and smart technology with remote control So if you're interested in checking out this pure oxygen air purifier Look at the links and the information in the description box below I know I have been loving mine and using it for a couple of weeks now and you will love it, too As you saw I put some eggs in some water to hard boil on the stove We will get back to those in a moment and then the next recipe I have for you is some apple cinnamon crescent bites these were Amazing and I mean amazing my daughters and I inhaled the entire pan of these I made this day And I feel like if you want to make these up super quick before people come over you makes your house smell so good So all you need to do is mix together some brown sugar and some cinnamon or you can use apple pie spice I didn't have any but I did have cinnamon on hand and then you want to slice up some apples And because this is more of a sweet treat I think it's great to use granny Smith apples since they're a little more tart it balances out the taste a lot But you could use any apple that you want to or any apples you have on hand And then I went ahead and chopped up some pecans But again, I think you could use walnuts just use up whatever you have on hand if you have some ingredients you need to use up and Then you go ahead and you melt some butter and put the apple slices into butter So that whenever it bakes inside the crescent roll you're gonna have a very caramelized apple once you have your crescent rolls all laid out you want to take that cinnamon sugar and Really liberally put it all over those crescent rolls you want to put your nuts in and then just take your slice of apple and Roll it up into the croissant looking back on this if I could do it again I would peel the apples the apples skin was a little tougher on the inside of the croissant So that would be one tip I have But other than that these turned out so good and I really think I'm going to make them for Thanksgiving for my family Okay, this next recipe is one I'm going to definitely keep on my list for when I have people over and that is some Italian hoagie Bruschetta and in our area we call them subs or hoagies Let me know in the comments what you call a long-shaped sandwich. That's why I'm going to say it So I could have went ahead and got traditional bruschetta But because this has a lot of toppings that go on it I actually got some Italian bread and sliced it up It's a little bit of a bigger piece and I put some butter on it and put them in the oven to toast And then I went ahead and made my topping for this So you could also really customize this to whatever you like on your hoagies or subs But I really like to have some cheese some provolone cheese is really good some purple onion some lettuce some tomato I did some hard salami and I did a softer salami I did some ham and then I drizzled it with avocado oil and you cannot forget in my opinion the yellow Peppers the pickled peppers. I think that they are what makes it really taste like a sub So after I chopped everything up very small Then I just mixed it all together and you want to give it a little bit of time to sit so that the flavors can combine Before you go ahead and assemble your little bruschetta appetizers All right, this is a really really simple appetizer, but it's also keto friendly gluten free and dairy free So if you have any of those needs in your friends or family that you're having over This is a great option So you just take some brussel sprouts and you wrap them up into the bacon And then you roast them in the oven and I also you'll see here in a moment make up some Dip for these as well So while I popped those in the oven. I did mix up the dip All you need to make this is some mayo and a little bit of Balsamic vinegar and you just mix it together to your taste. It was so delicious with the brussel sprout bites So next I'm going to make some everything but the bagel seasoning eggs and all you need to do is make up some regular Deviled eggs. I just put a little mustard and mayo in with the yellow part of the egg and I mash it all up I know some people add sugar to this There's just different ways of making it But this is the way I prefer to make it and then I take the everything but the bagel seasoning which you can get at Walmart You can get at Trader Joe's. I actually found mine at Big Lots and just shake it over the top It's a fun little twist to your traditional devil eggs All right, I had a lot of fun with this one. It is some brownies and strawberries Skewers so to make the brownies all I did was mix up this Lakonto keto friendly brownie mix which by the way is also dairy-free So it is gluten-free, but you can make it dairy-free as well if you use coconut oil instead of melted butter I did use melted butter this day to make these but you can make them very allergy friendly and They can work for anybody that is coming to your house that wants a sweet treat So I made these up by putting them into a small Brownie or I guess they would be mini muffin tins or pan This one is one that's from Amazon that I really love because it's easy to pop them out You could also purchase small brownies from the store to make this and really whip it up fast Oh and at this point my Brussels sprout bites were ready. So I popped those out of the oven They were so delicious. I actually reheated those the next day in my air fryer And they tasted just as good by the way and then back to assembling our skewers it's pretty easy once your brownies cool you can just put a marshmallow and a Strawberry and then a brownie bite onto the skewers when they are completely done I did mix together some sugar-free chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil And I drizzled that over the top of the skewers and they are good to go and you could prepare these beforehand as well Thank you guys for watching today.
