PamGillisI attended a wedding recently and it was great to see two young adults committing their lives to each other and to witness the excitement I could visualize in their sparkling eyes! Awe, so “in love”! I have alway enjoyed the food at social events. Don’t get me wrong, I love a whole-deal meal but sometimes small bites are just all I need. I love trying new appetizers and especially admiring all the new twists you see at fancy wedding venues. I was going to use the fancy word “hors d’oeuvres” but I had to Google to get the correct spelling and happened to check out its meaning versus appetizers. “Hors d’oeuvres” typically mean before the meal and “appetizers” indicate the beginning of a meal. Sounds about the same to me! I’m sharing with you this week a marinated cheese appetizer I have always enjoyed and get many questions about when I serve. Just the addition of a few extras send this over the top!

Pam’s Punch is a favorite with all my family! I could not begin to tell you how many batches (at least 100) I’ve made over the years. It’s a staple during Thanksgiving and Christmas and at every event in between. My grandkids named it “Pam’s Punch” because that’s just how much they love it and connect it with their Granna. I hope you enjoy these two recipes!

Happy cooking!
Pam
