For those that are having a party over the Holidays you may want to go back in my archives and check the stuffing balls recipe and the sweet and sour sauce recipe for those finger foods as part of the snacks. The sweeet and sour sauce works great with both small meatballs, and little smokies. Merry Christmas and Have a great New Years.
