Grape Jelly Party Meatballs
These sweet and sour (spicy) meatballs are one of my very favorite party foods. When I was growing up, my mother made these cocktail meatballs for all our parties. I think they are the perfect appetizer. They can be cooked in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. They disappear fast so you might want to go ahead and double the recipe.

Warmed Spice-Cranberry Brie
This is one of my favorite appetizers to bring to a party especially this time of the year. It’s so delicious and it’s bursting with all the season’s flavors-cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh orange and topped with toasted pecans. I promise every bit will be devoured! This beautiful appetizer can be made in a snap! Trim rind from the top of the brie. Spread the cranberry filling on top and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Bake and serve hot with assorted crackers, gingersnaps, apple slices, pears, or baguette rounds. I hope you enjoy this for a holiday party!
