<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to my cherished friends (and sis) for delivering the wonderful Appetizers and Desserts to my\u00a014th Annual Christmas Party.\u00a0 It was a blast like always.\u00a0 Michelle’s Pesto\u00a0Loaf (above) was voted Best Appetizer.\u00a0 Congratulations!\u00a0 The recipe is linked below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And every party needs a Fresh Vegetable Platter —\u00a0Ours was over the top good with Yellow and Red Bell Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumbers and more.\u00a0 And continuing on down (L-R), this year we enjoyed Artichoke Dip and Chicken & Lemongrass Spring Rolls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicken Tamales with\u00a0Colorado Chili Sauce, Salami, Brie and Smoked Cheese with Crackers, and Fresh Homemade Salsa\u00a0and Tortilla Chips.\u00a0 The Salsa deserves an honorable mention for its restaurant quality flavor.\u00a0 I’ve got to get the recipe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Egg Rolls, Pesto Loaf, and Cream Cheese with Blueberry Preserves and Crackers.\u00a0 Then moving on to the bakery quality Desserts prepared by Loretta — She took the prize for that category with her Lemon Bars, Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Icing, Magic Cookie Bars, and Chocolate Dipped Oreos and Graham Crackers as the Cake presents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had\u00a0more\u00a0than\u00a0pictured here, but some photos didn’t quite make the quality cut.\u00a0 I do appreciate ALL the food!\u00a0 We mostly enjoyed Champagne, Chardonnay, Juice and Bottled Water, but\u00a0many\u00a0options were available.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year I have a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree — It’s cute, don’t you think?\u00a0 Here we are in a rare people picture on Nibbles of Tidbits.\u00a0 I didn’t get my friend’s approval for the posted photo so it could come down if someone doesn’t like the way they look.\u00a0 You know how some girls can be – HA. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
