(Chicago) – It’s the time of the year again for grilling. I hosted a party last night to celebrate 4th of July and instead of servings slabs of steak and ribs, I thought of shrinking the size of the food into miniature hors d’oeuvres. The tiny finger foods were lovely but packed with flavors, just perfect for big cocktail parties.

Happy fourth of July!. Eat well! 🙂
