It's one of our favorite styles of holiday entertaining -- tantalizing small bites, a glass or two of wine, and plenty of good company and conversation! Sometimes these gatherings are planned; at other times, they occur spontaneously. Either way, they're always fun occasions!

IN THIS ISSUE, we're setting the table with a few elegant, yet easy, appetizers that start the fun, or become the meal themselves. We have six mouthwatering recipes to inspire you: a Cranberry-Pistachio Cheese Ball, Artichoke, Spinach & Tomato Phyllo Cups, Cucumber Crostini with Whipped Feta & Olives, Sausage-stuffed Mini Potato Skins, Holiday Thyme Peas & Pepitas Crostini, and Broccoli-Cheddar Trees. Cheers to the season!
