I always enjoy a gathering of appetizers where I can pick and choose my favorites, and pile them on a plate one by one.

I think there’s something in my brain that tells me that because they’re small the calories don’t count as much…so please don’t burst my bubble.

After all, diet season is right around the corner so we can all worry about those pesky additional pounds at that point. Until then…Cheers, and HAPPY New Year! Let’s Party!!

It’s always a party when Monte Cristo arrives! Enjoy the video;

I hope you’ve found several tempting recipes you’ll be interested in making this appetizing season. And, hey, don’t forget “the big game” is only a few weeks away and these appetizers would score big points on that day, too.
