I'm hosting happy hour for some coworkers at my house. We're going to have beer, wine and mojitos. What are some good appetizers to serve? Store bought, not home made please. I live by Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Marianos. Thanks!

My go-tos are crackers and cheese, chips and dip, veggie platter, and then I get chicken strips, bacon wrapped scallops, and stuffed mushrooms from a local place. But I know you can often buy that kind of stuff frozen and just heat it up!

Salsa/guacamole/chips, relish tray, meat cheese tray, and I usually scope out what the frozen food section has for mozzarella sticks, crab ragoons, ect. Trader Joes would be great for this!

My go-to easy appetizer is 3-4 types of cheese served with honeycomb (available at Whole Foods) and sliced apples, pears, or figs.

I would just go nuts at TJ's. They have everything you'll need in the frozen section. Just pop in the oven when you get home.

Trader Joe's has the BEST little frozen apps. One of my faves that I always recommend are the mini chicken tikka samosas. Sooo good!

You've already got some great recs here, but here are some of my old standbys....TJ's "unexpected cheddar" is amazing. Serve with their jarred bruschetta dip and a baguette. Their stuffed mushroom caps are really good, and for a sweet munchie, I like putting out a bowl of their "petite cocoa batons" or a plate of their ginger snaps and Meyer lemon cookies.

Whole foods has great guac! I can't think of anything that hasn't been mentioned.
