Alright people here I am with my First blog “Easy Fingerfood”. The reason I made this blog is to give out more information about fingerfood and show you guys some fast, easy and most importantly delicious recipes.
What is fingerfood?
Just like the name implies, fingerfood is eaten with your hands. Ofcourse you could use a fork and a knife but why bother. Eating fingerfood is a good excuse to leave those in the kitchen drawer!
What fingerfoods are out there?
A few examples of easy fingerfood to get started are fried chicken wings, mini pizzas, sausages, rice balls with meat, toast bread with pesto and I could be going for ages. Key here is to variate, the combinations are endless.
What can you expect in the future from Easy Fingerfood?
I want to show you how easy it can be to make different types of fingerfood in a short amount of time, and to really get the conversations starting at one of your parties.
Why would you make fingerfood?
A question that might wander in your head is why would I make fingerfood? If you can’t cook, don’t worry. You don’t have to be a chef. Can you boil water and heaten up a pan? Can you cut vegetables and meat? Then there is no problem to make fingerfood. If you don’t want to use the kitchen stove or if you want your kids to help there’s also plenty of fingerfoods that don’t require to be cooked. Making fingerfood isn’t complicated, that’s what Easy Fingerfoods is all about.
Ask friends!
You can ask friends to help you to come up with recipes but that’s what Easy Fingerfoods is here for. Friends can also help prepare if you got a big party comming up.
Fingerfood is not only for parties though. It is an excellent main dish aswell. You can have different types of foods to suite everyone. Heck I even ate fingerfood for nine straight days and every dish was unique. It’s also a tasty change to your current meals.
Keep it simple and easy with fingerfood there’s no need to complicate things!
I hope that I sparkled some interest to eat fingerfoods. Be sure to check back from time to time for more posts and recipes. I have alot of ideas that I want to share with you so Easy Fingerfood is your place to go.

Irish Cheese Plate
Okay so last month I went to Ireland. I had a blast and really one thing that I still remember was the delicious cheese plates in the restaurants over there. Even now when I think back about it I get so hungry.
Never heard of a cheese plate before? Let me fill you in.A cheese plate can be an appetizer or a course before dessert in a meal or the focus of a party where you explore the nuances and how they relate to other foods and beverages, especially wine or beer.
What makes a cheese plate perfect? It should open the participants eyes –and taste buds—to the subtle or sometimes profound differences between the myriad varieties of cheese.
When you serve multiple cheeses, the key is to highlight the differences. The differences may be obvious, a tasting of cheddar, brie and a blue-veined cheese, for example. Or the differences in a similar cheese between various countries: a Stilton, Roquefort and a Gorgonzola, for instance..
There really aren’t any rules to cheese plates; just aim for a variety of flavors and textures. Like wine tastings, it is usually best to offer the cheeses in a sequence (or in order on your buffet) from mildest to strongest flavor.
I hope you guys got some insiration from all this. I just saved you a trip to Ireland! Don't hate me for it, you should still go.

Petite pizzas
Okay guys this recipe isn't really a recipe. It's a no-brainer.
If you need to whip up foods real quick, get some petite pizzas. You can buy them at any supermarket for cheap.
A box contains about 20 of these, they are just simply ideal. Ofcourse you could make them yourself but why bother.
Think of it this way, if you put these little guys in the oven, you can make some other food aswell. Instead of making these pizzas you can make some other stuff that you cant buy just like that. It's a win win.
So guys next time when your in a supermarket be sure to bring a few of these boxes with petite pizzas, they are delicious and easy.

Baby Fingerfood
Not only grown ups love fingerfood, babies absolutely love it! Ofcourse not a baby that's just a month old but babies aging 9 months and up really love it. You need to keep a close eye to your baby when it's eating though. Have your baby sit up is always safer and reduces the risk on choking. But that just reduces the risk so keep watching your baby every second while it's eating!
Okay having said that let's get on with it.
Are you looking for ideas for nutritious food for your baby, that is quick, easy and healthy?
