About a month ago I featured some Tasting Party collection from Pier1. I know I'm bias but I sure love to host parties with these serving pieces. (To sell them a little they are cute, dishwasher safe & impress your guests!)
Not only do we sell them, but they all come with some recipes to share..... here are too that are too fun to pass up! Have fun!
