Poppy Seed Cheeseball served on Large leaf Tray

This easy to make savory cheeseball can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.  The poppy seeds make a nice contrast with the orange color of the sharp cheddar and add a little crunch with no real flavor.  Add a short cinnamon stick to the top to make it look like a pumpkin.  Serve on a Thomas Pottery Large Leaf Tray with crackers or celery sticks.

Spider Deviled Eggs served on 10" Maple Leaf Tray

This recipe is perfect for kids to make and they will love these creepy-crawly spiders.  Their little fingers is just what is needed to add the spider's legs and eyes onto these eggs..  I recommend cutting up all of your olives so they are ready for assembly. I found it  easier to assemble by holding the egg in your hand while adding the spider detail before laying it on the serving tray.  You can slide the legs under the body part to make them fit. Oh yea, spiders have 8 legs! I guess I made beetle bugs.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops served on 14" Woodgrain Tray

These bacon wrapped scallops are made with jumbo scallops coated in a sweet and savory glaze, then broiled to perfection. A simple yet elegant appetizer or main course option that is sure to get rave reviews!

Finger Stuffed Dates served on our 8" Tray

Simple, Sweet and Savory. I found almonds coated with garlic, herbs and olive oil at the grocery store ready to use, but you could roast your own with herbs and spices. This easy appetizer can be made in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve. 

Blood Orange Punch

The combination of orange, tart cherry and  ginger tastes like a crafted cocktail.  You could easily add your choice of wine or alcohol with cherry garnish.  This punch could be served anytime of the year for any occasion.
