The Christmas Party

Here are some shots of the Christmas Party I "catered". Again I took on the challenge of planning and making all the food for my coworkers party (it gives me something to do for 2 weeks) I host each year.

 In this one -Cocktail weiners in crescent rolls - called this 'cows in a blanket' since they were beef cocktail weiners. Vegetable crudites with a dill dip. Oreo truffles - half with sprinkles the other half with crushed candy canes. Easy pretzel turtles (pretzel square, rolo. pecan). Peanut butter blossoms. Fruit tray. Brownies with red and green chocolate drizzled  on top (consider it Christmas flare).

The great grape Christmas tree! This was a cool idea I thought of while in the craft store looking for decorations. Get one of the green floral foam cones. Wipe down the plastic it comes in, but leave the plastic on so the grapes can be eaten. Buy a bag of large green grapes and stick them in the floral foam with toothpicks. The star is a yellow bell pepper stuck in the top with a toothpick.
 The full spread.
Chips for the buffalo chicken wing dip. Italian Monkey bread. Taco salad. Christmas tree shaped cut out cheese, star shaped cheese and cut pepperoni for crackers (I used small metal Christmas shaped cookie cutters for the cheese - I've tried cutting the pepperoni in the past and it's a pain in the ass - I usually buy the large deli/sandwich pepperoni and cut it into fourths).
