Speaking of sharing, last weekend was a whirlwind of activity for me, catering for over 180 people at the District Youth Winter Retreat. And this week? I’m already diving into preparing an epic spread of finger foods for the year’s biggest football game. Confession time: unlike many in my household, I confess I don’t quite grasp the intricacies of football, nor do I follow the game with bated breath. However, give me any excuse to assemble a glorious array of appetizers, and I am wholeheartedly in! So, for this one day of the year, bring on the touchdowns, the cheers, and most importantly, the appetizer forks! What delightful Super Bowl munchies are you planning to serve up?
