"  Hosting a party filled with delicious food doesn&amp;#039;t have to be stressful, even if it&amp;#039;s for an evening as &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; as New Year&amp;#039;s Eve. Make some or all of these easy finger foods and your guests will be well fed, and you won&amp;#039;t be an exhausted wreck by the time the countdown begins. NO-COOK PICKS Roast Beef Pinwheels Blend softened cream cheese with prepared horseradish to taste, then spread on soft flatbreads or wraps. Layer with sliced deli roast beef and roasted red peppers strips. Roll into logs, then slice into pinwheels. Smoked Salmon Crostini Top pieces of toasted rye bread or rye crackers with ribbons of cold-smoked salmon. Dollop with some cr\u00E8me fraiche or sour cream mixed with snipped fresh chives. Cheese Ball Who doesn&amp;#039;t love a cheese ball? Try one of these three fun variations that we posted about last week, or create your own combination. Marinated Olives These olives are easy enough to make the day of your party, but if you have the time, make them a day or two ahead for the best flavor. Prosciutto-Wrapped Breadsticks With only three components, ingredients matter: Get the best-quality prosciutto you can find. Wrap thin breadsticks (Italian-style grissini work well) in paper-thin slices of prosciutto sprinkled with some freshly ground black pepper. If you can&amp;#039;t find grissini, you can use refrigerated breadstick dough, cut in half lengthwise and baked according to package directions. MINIMAL WORK Roasted Tomatoes &amp;amp;amp; Garlic My go-to snack for almost any occasion. For New Year&amp;#039;s Eve, I put out a big bowl of these garlicky tomatoes next to baguette slices, creamy Robiola cheese, and a little bowl of flaky sea salt for guests to assemble their own canap\u00E9s. In a jelly-roll pan, toss 1 lb. grape tomatoes with 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 3 large cloves garlic (cut into chunks), 2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme, \u00BD tsp. kosher salt, and 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Roast in a preheated 425\u00B0F oven 20 min or until tomatoes have softened and their juices have caramelized a bit, stirring once or twice. Serve at room temperature. Spice-Roasted Chickpeas I also like these savory chickpeas with smoked paprika instead of the cumin. Double the recipe \u2014 they&amp;#039;re highly addictive! Cheers to hosting a relaxing holiday party and a Happy New Year! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
