Blue Cheese Toasts

(24)

"Five years ago, I threw my first dinner party," writes Kristin McGill of Chicago, Illinois. "It was a memorable night with good friends, great food and lots of wine. That night, cooking became my passion. Now even after a long day at the office, I look forward to making dinner for my husband, Henry, and myself. That’s because for me whipping up a meal at the end of the day has become the perfect stress reliever."

A perfect party hors d’oeuvre or accompaniment to soup or the Bibb Lettuce, Avocado, and Dried Cranberry Salad.
