FREE Event Tonight - PLUS! Ideas for Entertaining with Ease

Getting together with others is one of the most special parts of the holiday season. And, where there's people, there's food to be served! It's a great time to bring out some holiday fare and serve it with a little flair.

You'll find Candied Cranberries with Brie, Roasted Squash Skewers with Herbed Aioli, Warm Sweet & Spicy Nuts, Smoked Salmon Crackers with Crispy Shallots and Dill Cream, Herbed Garlic Cheese Bread, and miniature Peppermint Mocha Cremes. Good times are just around the corner. Our best to you this festive season!
