On the one hand I love when friends stop by unexpectedly. However, it can be frustrating if you have nothing to serve. If you keep just a few ingredients on hand and you will always have a delicious appetizer. I keep Kalamata Olives and Sun-dried Tomatoes on hand. I also always have some kind of cracker or veggie on hand, so I can make this great dip, a tapenade.
What ingredients do you keep on hand for last minute visitors? Send me your ingredients and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Keep all these ingredients on hand and you will always have something to serve drop in guests.
