I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I have been enjoying the holidays in California with Greg’s family and my mum. I was completely spoiled by everyone Christmas morning and had a great time getting to know the Johnson family. Now that Christmas has passed, we have one last holiday for 2011; New Years Eve! We haven’t decided on a plan yet, but I’m sure most of you are ready to celebrate and watch the ball drop. To bring in the new year, here is a roundup of my favorite appetizers for 2011. Eat, drink and be merry! See y’all in 2012!
Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed Mushrooms, a great vegetarian appetizer
Bring some island flavour to your new years eve party with Trinidadian Doubles
Crunchy and sweet, these cinnamon apple chips will surely be a hit
Asparagus Fontina Pizza is simple yet delicious!
A spoonful of this fresh tomato basil pasta sauce on a toasted baguette makes an excellent bruschetta!
Olive tapenade is a great spread for sandwiches or even crostini

These all look stunning! Your photography makes me want to cry. The hummus pic is especially gorgeous. I did, in fact, make your Mexican Cocoa recipe, like 9 batches of it! And gave it out to my whole family for Christmas. In lovely clamp-top jars I managed to find at a dollar store! I’d post a pic here if I knew how… Thanks for the recipe :D
