It was yet another fun annual holiday party with my friends of What’s Cookin, Chicago. We had a great turnout and our holiday table was filled with all sorts of wonderful eats. I prepared a table of appetizers and desserts while my friends brought some of their favorite holiday main and side dishes to the table. Here are pictures of the appetizer spread I prepared…
Vegetable Crudite Platter
Assorted Crackers & Fresh/Dried Fruit
Caprese Pizza Squares
Spinach & Italian Sausage Pizza Squares
Bruschetta Topped with Olive Tapenade
Bruschetta Topped with Balsamic Tomatoes & Parmesan
Bruschetta Topped with Pesto, Goat Cheese & Tomatoes
Spicy Taco Cheeseball
Buffalo Chicken Cheeseball
Gorgonzola and Toasted Shallot Cheeseball
Beer Cheese Fondue
Spinach & Artichoke Fondue (seen below)
Traditional Swiss & Emmentaler Fondue (seen below)
Even after the appetizer spread I put out, there was still a long table of main and side dishes my friends brought in to enjoy! There were just so many items that it’s probably easier to provide a slide show of our feast than to post each dish individually. Here’s a slideshow of all the amazing eats my friends filled our holiday table with!
As if there wasn’t enough food, we couldn’t forget about dessert. I didn’t make quite that much but everyone was still able to satisfy their sweet tooth with the offerings I had including…
Mini Caramel Apple Pie Poppers
Cupcake Tree:
Red Velvet
German Chocolate
White Cake with Sprinkles
.. and an Eli’s Cheesecake Tower:Turtle Cheesecake
Sticky Toffee Cheesecake
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
