Long Read. Going viral can ruin your life, even if all you did was sit on a couch.
Kyle and I are having some people over this weekend for a holiday get-together. We had intended to have an apres ski party outside, but you try finding a rentable outdoor heater these days. So we’ll just open all the windows to get the air flowing; all the guests are vaccinated, so we should be fine.
One of the best parts about hosting a party is the snacks. Snacks are the best. Appetizers are even better. Like this Brie and Candied Bacon Grilled Cheese. Or Mini Banh-Mi Inspired Tacos. Or just anything on the Snacks and Starters Pinterest board that I never get to cook from enough.

Just commenting to say that I have to bring an appetizer to a neighborhood party tonight and didn’t know where to start. My first thought was that Abra always has great unique recipe recommendations, so I searched the blog and found bacon and brie grilled cheese. Perfect. Thanks for coming through again!
