Appetizers are always the way to go for New Year’s parties and this one will have everyone wanting to countdown for a long time. Make these Mediterranean Pinwheels and make your guest’s jaws “drop” like the ball.
At the moment we are planning to ring in the new year in our pajamas at home. We usually have a party to attend, but my friend is taking a break from her party this year. I can’t say that curling up in bed and watching movies all night sounds too bad right now. My husband has been sick for over a week. He completely missed Christmas. It will be nice to just spend some quite time together.
If I were going to a party, I’d bring something fun to share like these Mediterranean Pinwheels. They are super easy to make and when arranged into “2014” look really festive for New Year’s Eve.
