This week’s Family Fun Friday features recipes that will delight your family and guests, as well as your taste buds, and add flavor to your menu. Our recipes include the cheesy goodness of Cheesy Havarti Hot Spinach Dip, and a helpful tutorial for creating and displaying your own Chic Meat and Cheese Platter. Courtney does a nice job showing us how to display an appetizer to look simple and gorgeous. Also, you will never go wrong when placing this mouthwatering Cranberry Pear Flatbread appetizer on your table.
Our cold winter months are upon us and thank goodness for soup! This deliciously-tantalizing, Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup would be a sure crowd pleaser for your holiday fun. A party without a little sweet isn’t really a party, these Fudge Mounds look so amazing, and Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a perfect sweet- snack. For your gluten-free guests, we have a Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookie-which looks heavenly! What started out as 7 Christmas Recipes has turned into 12. I think you’ll love the holiday ideas you’ll find here.
This PARTY will run for TWO WEEKS in celebration of our THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY! So I’ll see you back here again next week if you are linking up over the holiday!
Happy Holidays, and enjoy this season while making these delicious recipes created by the bloggers who share their recipes at Family Fun Friday.
