Blue Cheese Crostini with Balsamic-Roasted Grapes
Oh so good and easy! Roast the grapes in advance, allow to cool and refrigerate until ready to assemble. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, substitute another soft cheese like goat, Boursin or Brie.

Good Luck New Year Appetizer: Black-Eyed Pea Hummus

Broccoli-Cheddar Cornbread
Cornbread is considered a good luck food for the new year since the color resembles gold. The addition of broccoli and cheese makes for a moist and flavorful cornbread that sneaks in some green veggies!
