Looking for sooper easy menu ideas for your New Year's Eve party?
You can't beat Jack McDavid's Comfort Food Appetizers, which he created for a segment on Good Day Philadelphia.
His task was to come up with recipe ideas that could be rustled up in a five minute slot, which gives you an idea of just how straightforward and foolproof these are.
Fancy trying some Firecracker Shrimps? Christmas mini-Pizzas anyone..? Or what about some Stuffed Mushrooms?
While the recipes sound easy, we can guarantee that they're delicious.
