Have the holidays begun for your family yet? We had our first family gathering this weekend and they’ll continue on through the new year. Because our schedule this time of year tends to get rather full, I’m always on the lookout for new treats to bring to our group dinners that everyone can enjoy. Appetizers are always a hit because they can help stave off hungry little tummies and hangry relatives lurking in the kitchen while we wait for everyone to arrive and everything to be finished cooking. These simple bacon appetizers are quick and easy, and can even be made while you have guests waiting for that turkey to finish. Here’s how to make them.
