Holiday Eats
November 29, 2011
For the past few years, I’ve picked out a recipe for an appetizer at the beginning of the Christmas season. I hoard all the ingredients and make it for all our Christmas gatherings. Since Christmas is usually so busy for us, thinking ahead always helps reduce some stress. This year, because it will be even busier than ever, I’m totally cheating. I bought frozen appetizers. Before you breath out that great big gasp…it’s gourmet. Mini Quiches and Artisan Flatbread with an assortment of yummy toppings. It goes with my commitment to keep things simple this Christmas. For those of you who wouldn’t dare to offer up frozen appetizers, I found these drool worthy recipes. And they still fall into the “keep it simple” vow with minimal ingredients and maximum flavour.
mushroom tart with sage and asiago
pear, gorgonzola and pancetta tartlettes
stuffed mushrooms with spinach
classic cheese and fruit platter
white chocolate dipped peppermint sticks
What are your favourite holiday recipes? Or will you be faking it like me?
