Artichoke Olive Crostini or Pasta Topping

You know how much I love crostini for entertaining.  It can be inexpensive, but wonderful.  This spread won't be the most inexpensive for crostini, but it will be devoured.  A plus is that you can make this as much as two days ahead of time.  Just keep it in the refrigerator and then allow it to return to room temperature to serve.The great thing … [Read more...]

Mushroom and Manchego Panini: Quick, Delicious Sandwich

My daughter made these sandwiches for us the other night and they were incredible. I couldn't believe all the flavor.    The mushrooms had a  slightly tangy flavor from a splash of vinegar.  Since you don't use any meat, you can afford to splurge on gourmet mushrooms.  I'd not tried Manchego cheese before & it's wonderful. This sandwich has 16.8 … [Read more...]

My Take on St. Patrick’s Day, Foods and Hoopla

Here's how I see St. Patrick's Day.  You've just gotten over Valentine's Day and here comes another holiday.  At least this one wasn't started by Hallmark. You decide it's nice to think of green and Spring being just around the corner. .  Maybe you'll pot up some of that beautiful moss to bring indoors. You see some clover while you're out there … [Read more...]

Super Easy Bananas Foster Dessert

Strawberries Filled with Cream: Dazzling!

Does anything look as good as this?  I love fresh strawberries, but these are fantastic.They are not filled with just whipped cream as that could melt and drip. You whip heavy cream with mascarpone, similar to cream cheese, until soft peaks form.  You add some sugar and vanilla too.  You could use a plastic bag with the corner cut off a bit to pipe … [Read more...]

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

 This appetizer is a nice change from the same old dips. It's also super healthy and great for dieters.  I've even heard some wedding planners say it's sophisticated enough for the cocktail hour at wedding receptions.  Who knew?This goes together very quickly; just throw everything in the blender, a few pulses and you're done! You need to chill it … [Read more...]
