Three rounds of Thanksgiving leftovers later, I am ready to roll again. Well, all weekend I kind of felt like I was actually rolling, with the quantity of food that was in abundance - but this is a different kind of roll. November has waned, and shopping is in full swing ... so it's time! Let the googling of "easy holiday party appetizers" ... view more
