Antipasto Appetizer Skewers

Let’s face it, the holidays are BUSY. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then New Years all jam packed into the jolliest time of the year. Good food, good friends, and so many celebrations. No one has time to be in the kitchen all day, BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t still have the most fun and delicious appetizers in town.

These Appetizer Antipasto Skewers are fun, festive, EASY, but most importantly super yummy. You can make them any way you like, and with any ingredients you like! SO FUN!

DeLallo, the Best Antipasto Around

You guys know I love LOVE DeLallo for their pasta and Italian food staples, but their Antipasto line is my all-time favorite. I had the pleasure of visiting one of their plants and their flagship store in Pittsburgh and WOW was I impressed. The quality, the variety, the deliciousness. It was all too much! I walked away a fan for life, especially of all things antipasto.

You can see in the video and in the pictures, the possibilities when building these Antipasto Kebabs are endless. I’ve listed my favorite products below (and you can buy all of them online with the links provided), but you should absolutely poke around their site and buy all your favorites. You literally cannot go wrong!

To assemble the Antipasto Appetizer Kebabs

Making these Italian Appetizer Skewers couldn’t be easier. Simply chop your cheeses and salami, open the packages or olives, grape leaves, artichokes, and anything else you’d like, and have everything in front of you. Using large toothpicks/small wooden skewers, layer the ingredients in a variety of ways. I think its fun to have each skewer be different. SO YUM!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List

It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!

It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.

However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.

In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.

I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store

This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.

When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.

So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
