We're coming up on Memorial Day and summer, the time of picnics and sporting events, pools and playing. Yay! At times like these, it's important that a girl have a good repertoire of appetizer recipes at her disposal. Of course, she can always pull out the Seven-Layer Dip, but sometimes she may need something else to impress the guests or satisfy appetites. Here are some suggestions for fun appetizers from tweeters at one of our recent Girls' Night Out Twitter parties (#gno), with Frito-Lay.
