Festive Apps! Tasty Treats just for YOU!

 

APPETIZERS are without a doubt, one of the best things about the holiday season!
Whether it's just a bite before dinner, or an entire evening with family and friends, appetizers can be the star of the show!

One of my favourite parties, ever, featured just apps. We had some friends for an evening fun and frivolity and I served a variety of appetizers from my childhood. I had a plan. Throughout the evening, here and there, we each reminisced about our own early memories of festivities at home. It proved to be a fun-filled evening with a tender serving of nostalgia. A good time was had by all.

TODAY is another DAY and I am excited to share a selection of tasty treats from around the globe ~ sure to add a little 'spice' or 'sparkle' to your holiday plans. Here is a collection, shared just for YOU ~ by fellow bloggers in an APPETIZER 'round up'. ENJOY!!!
