In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you prepare several appetizers for you and your guests to munch on as you finish cooking, no one will have room for the main course! To prevent this, go with a couple snacks as a warm-up for what’s to come. If you are serving 2-4 people, 1-2 appetizers are plenty. If you have more than 4 guests, consider a third option if you’d like. Grab a serving platter and place slices of cheese on top to make your display. Include options such as American, Swiss, pepper jack, brie, and bleu cheese, for instance. Then, spread 2-4 types of crackers across the tray as well.  On average, serve 2-4 tbsp (30-60 g) of cheese per person. For example, great cheese and cracker pairings include extra sharp cheddar and club crackers, brie and crostini, and gouda and multigrain. Mix together 1/2 cup (118 mL) of fat-free sour cream, 1/4 tsp (1 g) of ground black pepper, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 3/4 cup (414 g)  of artichoke hearts, 1 1/4 cup (296 g) of spinach, and 1 cup (237 g) of cream cheese. When these ingredients are well blended, add in 1 cup (237 g) of mozzarella and 2 tbsp (30 g) of Parmesan. Scoop the mixture into a baking pan, and cook it for 30 minutes at 350 °F (177 °C). Serve the dip with crackers, sliced bread, or pita chips. Mix together 2 1/2 cups (592 g) of minced Roma tomatoes, 2 tbsp (30 g) of minced garlic, 1/3 cup (79 g) of chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp (30 g) of balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsp (45 g) of extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup (59 g) of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp (5 g) of salt, and 1 tsp (5 g) of pepper. Let the bowl sit for 15 minutes so the flavors can combine. To serve the bruschetta, slice a baguette into 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick pieces and place 1 spoonful of bruschetta onto each slice of bread. Place the eggs in a single layer inside your pot, and cover them with 3 inches (7.6 cm) of water. Select a medium-high heat, and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 15 minutes, drain the water, and let them cool. Then, crack the shells and peel the eggs while holding them under running water. Next, slice each egg in half horizontally and take out the yellow yolks.  To make your filling, mash the yolk with 2 tbsp (30 g) of mayonnaise, and mix in 1 1/2 tbsp (22 g) of sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp (5 g) of mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper. When these ingredients are mixed into a creamy paste, fill each half with 1 spoonful. You can sprinkle paprika onto the eggs for a garnish if you’d like. Place the sliced eggs on a serving tray and pass them out to your guests with cocktail napkins.
Summary: Pick 1-3 appetizer options so you don’t stuff your guests before dinner. Set up a cheese and cracker tray for a simple yet scrumptious snack. Make spinach and artichoke dip for a warm, creamy first course. Serve bruschetta with a baguette for an easy, light option. Prepare deviled eggs for a quick but exquisite dish.

The wax paper will keep the donuts from freezing together. So, if you just want one donut, you can easily pull them apart without having to defrost the whole container. Powdered and plain donuts will freeze the best. Glazes and icings tend to melt and become tacky when defrosted. The freezer bag will help prevent any ice from forming on the inside of the container, or on the donuts. If properly stored, the donuts will remain fresh in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. The donuts will be safe to eat for a few weeks beyond that time, but just won't be as fresh. Do not cover the donuts to defrost them. Covering the donuts will only trap the moisture and make your donuts soggy. The microwave will not only defrost the donuts, but will also put moisture back into the donuts.

One-sentence summary -- Put the donuts in an airtight container and layer it with wax paper. Put the container in a sealed, heavy-duty freezer bag. Store the donuts in the freezer. Leave the donuts uncovered on the counter for 15 minutes to defrost. Defrost the donuts by microwaving them at 15-second intervals.

Problem: Article: When you add someone to your credit card account, they are able to legally make charges using your card. Obviously, granting another person access to your finances is a major decision so you should know the pros and cons before beginning the process.   Adding someone to your credit card account has many advantages. If someone cannot apply for a credit card on their own due to poor financial history, it may enable them to build a credit score depending on the credit card issuer or help them learn how to manage money if they are paying you back each month. You can make sure someone has money available in the event of an emergency. Having one credit card account is often more convenient than creating multiple ones. Adding someone to your credit card has its drawbacks as well. There is an added liability, as you're legally responsible for all actions an authorized user takes. Any missed payments or credit score damages affect the both of you. Shared accounts have also lead to strained relationships between users, as blame comes into play if there are issues with payments. When you add someone to your credit card, they're either a joint account holder or an authorized user. The responsibilities and rights of this person change greatly depending on their status.   An authorized user is entitled to use the credit card issued to the card's holder but have no financial responsibility when it comes to paying back any accrued loans.  Joint account holders share ownership of the account and have as much liability when it comes to repaying the debt as the original card holder.  You must make a decision, depending on the financial situation of both parties involved, whether the person you're adding will be a joint account holder or an authorized user. Many people wonder, when adding someone to their credit card, how and if this action will affect your credit score. This is information you should understand before making any decisions.   Credit reports generally don't supply information on authorized users. Adding a user in and of itself should not affect your credit score. However, you are responsible for any charges this person makes. If the new authorized user abuses their privileges, you could end up with large debts you are not able to pay. This will affect your score. The new user's credit score will actually be affected more directly. If the credit card issuer reports authorized users, the account will appear on their credit report and their credit score can change for better or for worse depending on your financial history. When you add a joint account holder, both parties will appear on each individual's credit report. Much like adding an authorized user, this will not affect your credit score in and of itself. However, a joint account holder cannot be easily removed from the account if there are outstanding charges. Your credit report might be affected more severely due to the potential longevity of any damage done.
Summary:
Know the pros and cons of adding an authorized user. Distinguish between an authorized user and a joint account holder. Know the effect on your credit score.
