I think for my apartment warming I did a shrimp platter, meat and cheese platter, hummus in a bread bowl, and a huge platter of nachos. Although at a pre-theater cocktail party she made BBQ duck and those little roasted potatoes sliced in half with garlic cream cheese piped on top with sprinkled chives. Those were awesome.
Something pretty for the table: Apple-Cranberry Upside down cake (can substitute using Betty Crocker gluten-free yellow cake mix if you want): http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/appl…
This appetizer wreath arrangement is also attractive (and tasty) on the table..especially with a candle in the center: http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/holiday…
