These slices of wraps are pretty to serve, they’re light, have lots of flavor, and a great all-around pick-up item.

The Storytelling Party Game
For this game, you need nothing more than paper, pens and some good imagination!

How to DIY Ice Cream King Cones
Scooping ice cream when there’s a big crowd? No thanks. Instead, serve king cones to the kids (and the adults). I first served these king cones at a Chanukah party–and never mind the kids, the adults were grabbing them. And there were so many “pros” to this dessert! One–no ice cream scooping mess. Two–they’re so…
