Please welcome Nicole from Or Whatever You Do today. She is sharing some seriously incredible sausage appetizers for us today, just right for the holidays or any parties you have coming up soon!

13 Super Sausage Starters - You will love this collection of savory appetizers just right for any occasion!

My favorite part of the holidays is all of the awesome food that comes with the season. Everyone puts their best food forward when fixing holiday dinners, and I’m no exception. My very, very favorite part of all the gatherings are the appetizers! So delicious! I like to try and host at least one appetizer-only party where everyone brings a few of their favorites, and we just munch all evening.

Someday when I don’t have so many tiny children under my feet every second, I’m going to start a neighborhood tradition. Appetizers, wine, and festive warm drinks! Tis the season!

These sausage appetizers will get you off to a great start in your menu planning. We love sausage here, so I can’t wait to try several of these awesome dishes. What’s your favorite appetizer?

Oh my. So many of these look sooo good and easily try-able. And Andi, I LOVED your quesadilla spot @ Community Table. I saw more than a few that would make life easier in my kitchen. I need to keep more tortillas around! Thanks for all the goodies you share.
