We had a holiday progressive appetizer/cocktail party on Saturday evening. There were five couples participating and each couple hosted at their home for one hour.
We sampled a wide variety of delicious appetizers and admired the decorations in each home.

I decided not to take my camera. I just wanted to enjoy the company.

It was challenging to come up with recipes that could be made ahead and then put out for serving in a fifteen-minute window of time (we were the second stop). Here's what we served from left to right with hubby's rating: Mu
Shu Chicken Wraps (5), Sweet & Sour Meatballs (4), New Potatoes with Three-Cheese Fondue (3.5), and more filling from the Mu
Shu Chicken Wraps. We also served Eggnog Cream Cheese Dip w/Fresh Fruit but I didn't get a photo of that.
