This weekend we threw a small housewarming party and I wanted to stop by to share this great recipe I found on Pinterest for Italian Cucumber Appetizers from High Heels & Grills.

| Italian Cucumber and Cream Cheese Crostini Appetizers |
What I loved most about these appetizers was that they were so simple to put together, but they look super fancy (almost like a little crostini). They're also very inexpensive for the number of appetizers they make. I'll definitely be bringing them to pot lucks in the future.

| Italian Cucumber and Cream Cheese Crostinis |
To save time, I mixed the cream cheese and Italian dressing a few hours before the party and put it in the fridge, so all I had to do was toast the baguette slices and assemble the three ingredients (baguette, cream cheese, and cucumber slices) about a half hour before the party.
Add a few bottles of wine, some hummus and veggies, and a cheese and fruit board and you have yourself a plentiful and fresh summer hors d'oeuvres menu that doesn't require any cooking or heat from the oven. (Oh, and in case you thought I was too healthy, we also had BBQ meatballs in the crockpot and a dozen cupcakes to eat. Mwahaha!)
