I’m reposting this scrumptious little appetizer recipe, because when you need something quick and fresh-tasting (and healthy), these simple ingredients are easy to keep on hand.
Your guests will love it – they’ll actually love you!

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this "icon" portrays a great message. 
I want to share with you some of my favorite places to visit in blog-land, sites that I learn from and am inspired by, and some beautiful friends that I’ve met over the years.
I like to keep some spiced nuts ready and some dried apricots – they work well with most cheeses. Also like to keep fig preserve to dress up a small cheese tray which just takes it up a notch from cheese n crackers.

There are 10 babies on the way at my church this year and it has been one baby shower after another! This is definitely going on my list of easy but delicious appetizers for showers (right alongside your roasted strawberry crostini). I might have to try these for dinner tonight…

Hi Sandy,
These look delicious…and they are that perfect sort of appetizer/dessert when we are waiting for all the delicious fresh fruits of spring and summer. Everyone always seems to have dried fruit on hand and this looks like it will come together in a flash.
Thanks so much for re-sharing this. I didn’t remember it from last time. My folks are going to stop by in about an hour and a half…just a quick visit to say hi to Ben as he is recuperating (the wisdom teeth…ouch). I was thinking about what would be nice to serve to them – just a little snack with some coffee – and this will be perfect…as I just bought some goat cheese the other day!
Love,
Mary

Sandy,
These look IN-credible! And how easy, too?!? Is it bad that I want to make a tray and eat them all by myself?

Sandy,
I have not used goat cheese very often. Are there different varieties with different tastes? Is there a brand(s) you prefer? Just want to know what I am looking for when I go to the grocery store. The recipe looks delicious and I may have to make a batch just for me!
Have a great weekend!
