Just like slacks with an elastic waist, these recipes can easily expand as your guest list grows. The secret is to prepare each one the number of times necessary to serve the number of people you're entertaining. But watch out if you decide to multiply--strong flavors such as black pepper, garlic, and jalapeño peppers can be very overwhelming. You may need to include one-and-a-half the amount of spices for a recipe you're doubling. Trust your judgment, taste as you go, and it will be delicious.

1. Thread cheese cubes and sun-dried tomatoes onto short rosemary skewers for a striking presentation.
