Yummy recipes to ring in the New Year

We rang in the NewYear at my sister's house with lots of goodies...beef tenderloin with horseradish sauce, olive-cheese balls, roasted shrimp (ala Barefoot Contessa), crabbies, and blue cheese spread to name a few.  This was followed by Rock Band with grandmom, grandad, nana, poppa, and the kids.

I've attached the recipes for the crabbies and the blue cheese spread for all to enjoy!Blue Cheese and
