Yummy Appetizers

We were invited to a birthday party for one of our friends tonight. I was assigned to bring an appetizer. It is high time I try some new "non-sugar" recipes. So here is what I came up with. The first is from one of my best friends in Lehi, Jodi. She told me of these Cream Cheese Won ton Wraps. If Jodi says a recipe is good, it is. The second recipe is from Recipe Zaar. I like this web site, but not as much as allrecipes. Both of these appetizers went over very well. I will add both to my recipe book. Hope you enjoy them too.
