I entertain a lot throughout the year…BUT during the holidays my event calendar picks up even more. It’s not unheard of for me to host an event (or two) every week in December. There are holiday dinner parties, holiday cocktail parties, cookie swaps, Secret Santa luncheons and more.
Often my closest friends will attend more than one of my functions so I try to keep things fun. I change up the theme and vary my decor and food so they don’t feel like they are attending the same party over and over.
You all know hosting a gathering takes a fair amount of work so I try to offer tasty foods that are easy to prepare. Cooked Perfect® Meatballs are one of my absolute favorite things to serve at holiday get togethers. With very little effort, I can serve up great taste that my guests will devour AND without spending all day in the kitchen!
Besides the great taste, I love the versatility. Cooked Perfect Meatballs are perfect in all my favorite recipes. Whether I serve them simple with a tasty dipping sauce or as part of a delicious recipe like my Peachy Meatball Brie Bites, they are sure to be a huge hit at any gathering!
Speaking of my Peachy Meatball Brie Bites, you are going to want to add these to your holiday menu. Just grab some Cooked Perfect Meatballs and a few ingredients and have an amazing holiday appetizer that will be devoured in a flash.
