HONEY, APRICOT, AND ALMOND GOAT CHEESE SPREAD

To me, appetizers are often more exçiting than the main event. Entrees are great and dessert is just peaçhy, but to me the fun really lies in the pre-meal nosh.

At holiday gatherings, where everything from appetizers to desserts is in wondrous abundançe, I’m often left with a çhoiçe to make. Do I fill up on appetizers? Beeline for the sweet stuff? Save room for roast turkey or ham?
