SWEET: Tappas Party - Part 1

So this weekend my friends and I had a little gathering to celebrate the holidays and substitute the gift giving with the party since we are all so tight on cash. We each had to bring something to eat and something to drink. There were delicious turkey meatballs with 3 dipping sauces, pumpkin cups (mini pastry cheese cakes), chocolate peanut butter mookies (cross between cookies and muffins), an assortment of cheeses, hummus & pita chips and toast with fig jam and goat cheese just to name a few. I brought these Cinnamon mini blintzes I had last year at a holiday party and nearly lost my shiz-it when I ate them.

Naturally I had to make them this year, and when I saw the recipe was no more complicated than any standard Kraft cookbook recipe I was even more psyched to make them. Since I love rating things and I want to hear everyone say how fabulous the mini blintzes are, in-turn how fabulous I am for making them, I made everyone rate them – and while my friends who know me and aren’t afraid of me rated them honestly, those who didn’t know me so well, lets just say I may have strong armed them into giving a higher rating –its what I do. Outcome may be skewed.
