Christmas Party 2012

This year we had a Christmas Party to celebrate with a few friends and once again it was a last minute deal.  When I say last minute, I meant last minute.  We were at the store that afternoon buying groceries and making things up as we go.
 
Now, Crystal is a big Pinterest fan and went online and found a couple ideas which I thought were genius.  She learned how to take box cupcake and tweaked the recipe a bit to make it taste rich and homemade.  The Meatloaf "Cupcake" with a Mash Potato "Icing" was a great idea.  I would have never had thought of that.  The Deviled Eggs with Avocado was Festive, but most importantly Delicious.  And the 4th food item she found was Tomato Soup in a shot glass served with Grilled Cheese.  I liked this idea, but I wanted to take a step further and made Gazpacho and served it in Brandy glasses with strips of Grilled Cheese to dip.
 
Christmas Party Menu: Gazpacho with Grilled Cheese, Meatloaf "Cupcake" with a Mash Potato "Icing", Mini Quiches (Made by Crystal), Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, Red Velvet Cupcake (Made by Crystal), Deviled Eggs, and Asian Empanadas.
