My favorite part of any party is the food – more specifically, the hors d’oeuvres. They’re cute, easy to hold, and small enough that you can try a little bit of everything! So why not apply the concept to the rest of your meal and serve an array of finger food? Whether you’re hosting a potluck or a holiday party, they’re the perfect thing to dish out. Kids want to eat with their fingers anyway, and adults will be happy to try a variety of foods. Here are a few of my favorite finger food recipes:

That’s right, we’re not only going to BlogHer later this month in Chicago, but we’re also sponsoring it!

At BlogHer, we’ll be asking users “Are you a go-to girl?”

We’re all go-to girls (or guys!)… whether our friends come to us for advice on restaurants, recipes, books or babies. You can store all that expertise in one place online: springpad! Share your favorite go-to tips with readers, friends and family via springpad – it couldn’t be simpler.

springpad’s newest features are all about creating collections of your favorite things & sharing them with your networks.

Before the Internet, women used to swap ideas while they hung laundry in the back yard, but that’s not how it works anymore. Our friends are all over the world & we communicate with many of them by reading their blogs or following them on twitter.

In preparation for the conference, check out the BlogHer09 springpad profile – it’s jam-packed with all of the important things you’ll need to plan your trip to Chicago!

Sometimes the best recipes are based on the simplest ideas.
Like this one:  Make pancake batter & bake it in muffin tins!  It’s that easy.  Enjoy!

Spring the recipe!

2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter
