Brie-Mushroom Burgers
For Memorial Day weekend, I want to share one of my favorite burgers: Brie-Mushroom Burger. The first time I made this, my kids were a little leery of the Brie and mushrooms. When they tried it, they were hooked. This is a great way to get your children to eat mushrooms and try new ingredients. If you’re grilling this weekend for adults, you will definitely enjoy this burger with a cold beer (or glass of red wine). Happy Memorial Day everyone!
Super Bowl Appetizer and Party Tips: Brie with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Basil
One week from today is the Super Bowl, one of the most fun sporting events of the year. I filmed a Super Bowl television cooking segment for NBC “Daytime Alabama” which will air next week, making four easy appetizers. This 5 ingredient recipe for Brie with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Basil is a cinch, taking only 20 minutes to prepare. Here are some of my favorite Super Bowl tips for hosting your upcoming party.
Super Bowl Hosting Tips:
-Think “green” and make it easy. Send out E Invites or call or Facebook your friends
-Set up as many televisions as possible if you’re having a large party
-Plan simple and easy food to put out and refill. Also, think about servings foods that are easy to pick up and eat in your lap.
-Have one room planned for television watchers and another for those who just want to talk (okay…some of us women)
-If you’re inviting guests with children, have video games, movies, coloring pages, crayons and puzzles to keep them busy
-Offer healthy foods: such as serve fresh fruit and vegetables with hummus
-Have plenty of beverages and a variety for everyone
-Ask guests to pitch in and bring food (give them a task)
-Have a “faux betting pool” set up and a few prizes for the winners
Thanksgiving Appetizer-Brie with Cranberries and Walnuts
With only hours left until Thanksgiving, I know everyone is busy trying to complete last minute tasks. To start Thanksgiving off right, I thought I would present one of the easiest appetizers that my family loves. The combination of caramel, walnuts, cranberries and golden raisins adds the perfect sweet, crunch and warm taste of fall. You can prepare this right before the guests arrive as it just takes minutes to prepare with absolutely no mess or cleanup. This appetizer is also a great idea for Christmas, New Years or anytime you entertain. Happy Thanksgiving!
