"These are addictive little snacks. Crunchy and flavorful BUT actually good for you too! The spicier you get these the better imho! Plus, spicy foods are supposed to increase your metabolism! A reviewer said these made their mouth dry- Guess they might also increase my water intake! :) Make sure to get them good and dry before baking and they will cook..."

Ingredients: cooking spray, garbanzo beans...

"Falafel have got to be the tastiest little fritters ever devised by a cook - and they're good for you too! The Taratoor Sauce also makes a great dipping sauce for crudites, so don't just make it for falafel. The chickpeas do need to soak for at least 12 hours, so take that into consideration. Otherwise, very easy."

"Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well.

"This is my favourite hummus recipe that I have developed as of late. The green olives work well to add a slightly salty note to the hummus. The way I make hummus uses less oil so I can feel less guilty about enjoying my favourite dish. Coriander is known in the States as cilantro. I came up with this recipe for my vegetarian food blog at wwww.weekendcarnivore.com..."

"Hummus is one of my favorite foods and I also love deviled eggs. So, when I saw this in a flyer handed out for the 'Summer Fresh Hummus' company I wanted to jot it down. You could surely use the discarded yolks for something else so it doesn't feel wasteful."

Ingredients: hard-boiled eggs, roasted bell pepper hummus...

"A fast dip, great for last minute company. It improves while it sits, but it doesn't need meld time to be ready to serve right away. This recipe was created through improvising on a couple of recipes I found online. ** Garlic lovers only!** The fresh garlic is the prominent flavor in the dip. (If you can't get Old Bay Seasoning in your area,..."

"I made this for our Christmas party and it was big hit! I made it a day ahead for maximum flavor. I used a large can of ripe olives since DH loves them. Cooking time is marinating time. While it may not meet the definition of a "true" antipasto, it is delicious and has just the right amount of ingredients."

Ingredients: pitted ripe olives, fresh mushrooms...

"These savory little toasts is a favorite snack or appetizer with nutty crumbles of Parmigiano or Pecorino Toscano cheese. Fava beans, fresh arugula, both pureed and roughly chopped punctuates this spread with spice and texture. If you cannot find fava beans in your grocers freezer, you can also use frozen edamame but do not shell them."

Ingredients: fava beans, extra virgin olive oil...
