Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers

(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com)

I seem to be on a mission to find easy but good food; maybe it is the unbelievable heat we have been having. Simple seems to have a special appeal when the thermometer reads in the high 90's. The neighbors came over last night for dinner and I was scratching my head to come up with some quick and easy appetizers. I had a ripe cantaloupe, some excellent Polish ham, some dates and a little goat cheese. Add a few drops of honey and you have pretty good summer appetizers. They must have hit the spot as they disappeared from the plate just about as quickly as they took to assemble.
