- Keep it simple. Let appetizers play a starring role. Prepare a passing tray of canapés. Wolfgang’s new quick and easy-bake 11” Thin Crust Frozen Pizzas and All-Natural Frozen Appetizers do all the work for you. Add a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh herbs to the pizzas and create tasty dipping sauces for the appetizers to add your homemade touch to these already prepared treats.
- Soup makes an easy, welcoming first-course at sit-down holiday meals. For speedy, no-fuss preparation, serve Wolfgang’s Organic and All-Natural Soups. For a creative touch, serve soup out of a hollowed out pumpkin or serve individual portions in acorn squash.
