Crostini and Canapes Appetizers

What is Crostini?  
It is a small thin piece or slice of crisp toast.  
Several combinations of food with different textures are spread on top for an outstanding appetizer.
My hors d'oeuvre recipes such as a pepperoni appetizer are so easy to make, most can be made in advance, 
they are tasty and a welcome accompaniment with your favorite beverage.
Serve them before guests are seated at a dinner party or
enjoy them on your patio with friends and family,
they can also be taken to a gathering for others to enjoy.

Inviting friends to your home for drinks and appetizers at any time is a wonderful way to renew friendships and get to know new friends.
