Appetizers
Nothing signals a special holiday gathering like a snack board. Put one on the table and watch the crowd, drink in hand, gather around for a generous slice from a wedge of cheese.

Move over Christmas cookies, let kids get creative for the holiday season with these fun pizzas. Plus, sneak more veggies into your kid’s diet. Tomatoes pose as colorful lights/ornaments for decorating.
