The Holiday Season is quickly approaching! It's a time for gathering with friends and family to catch up on the year's events. We always have multiple gathering to attend. Usually there is some sort of work gathering, a gathering with close friends, and of course, a family gathering. I get our really close friends together at our house between Christmas and New Years for a nice dinner. Since the gathering is so small, I make it a little fancy. I like to pull out my "good" dishes and glasses. This is most certainly my favorite time of year. I get to see the people I care about most even if this is the only time of the year our busy schedule allows, and I cherish it greatly! No matter what type of gathering you plan to attend this year, this recipe is sure to be hit!
