Let's Stick Together!
Let's face it...food on a stick is more fun to eat. From fondue to hors d'oeuvres, shish kabobs to roasted marshmallows- you can't go wrong! My boyfriend's family was making Greek chicken & vegetable skewers for dinner one night, and we were in charge of the apps. Obviously, I felt like we should stick to the theme at hand (pun intended) and serve all of the apps on toothpicks! Here are a few ideas I had for quick, easy appetizers on a stick, enjoy!

If I had a few more people to serve I would've incorporated some meatballs, mini sliders on a stick,or some dessert items like a strawberry shortcake on a stick, or a s'mores on a stick!
