Progressive

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.
So tonight I took a few photos of our decorations..................and the leftovers that hubby's eating for dinner. 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.
The Mu Shu Chicken Wrap recipe came from this cookbook and links to the others can be found here by scrolling to the bottom of the post.
