Christmas Day Appetizers


For my xmas day potluck, I made some appetizers and dessert:
- Smoked salmon with dill cream cheese spirals
- Guacomole, avocado and parsley
- Hummus and tomato
For my dessert offering to go with green tea, it was just a simple vanilla sponge cake with powdered sugar cut into bite sized pieces for easy eating.
