There is no better way to entertain guests than serving up an abundant, Appi Pleaser Platter (Antipasto), before the main course. Whether it’s for the holidays or an informal cocktail gathering, this ornate dish is always a crowd pleaser.

The holidays are coming, and it’s quickly becoming the best time of the year. While I am partial to the fall season, I am sure that my summer-enthusiasts will equally enjoy the approaching comfort food, cozy sweater weather and multitude of autumn activities. November is the perfect time of year to celebrate the harvest season!
