Thanks for sharing.

While we have traditional goodies, people always clamor for meatier appetizers--sweet 'n sour meatballs (my mom's recipe), Hollyberry Chinese chicken wings (recipe from a friend), cheese 'n crackers, etc. I think by Christmas Eve, we're all cookied out. :)Lynette Sowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744849531318234556noreply@blogger.com
