How are you celebrating the end of the decade? It’s been a doozy!

And so it seems more important than ever to me to reach out and connect with other people. Even to host a gathering.

It doesn’t have to be a big to-do. I’m all for the simple and even spontaneous opportunities to spend time with friends.

A quick cocktail. A nibble. Sharing food is a gift. And time is precious.

Here are some of my favorite bites and nibbles to serve. Select one or two to accompany your favorite festive beverage. Or, you can make more for a full-on cocktail party.

Cocktail Party Menu Ideas

Labneh {Yogurt Cheese} in Olive Oil

Labneh is one of the simplest fresh cheeses to make at home and stored in olive oil, it is a quick appetizer to serve with olives and pita bread.

Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

Turn baked sweet potato fries into an appetizer for everyone to serve with peanut dipping sauce.

Savory Rugelach
