Potato Galette

This Potato Galette is such a beautiful side dish for the holidays. It’s pretty much just potatoes, garlic, thyme and ghee but the presentation of the galette makes it very special and memorable for special dinners.

Fruit and Cheese Platter

Make a fruit and cheese platter with few ingredients and my best tips! You only need 15 minutes to create a beautiful board for entertaining.

 

Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms

Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect finger food appetizer for the holidays. There are so many ways to stuff them, and they’re always a crowd pleaser! I load mine up with chickpeas, walnuts, and cheese to make a healthy protein-packed app that’s full of flavor and crunch!

Focaccia Charcuterie Board

I’m all about finding fun, new ways to entertain, and this Focaccia Charcuterie Board is my latest obsession. It’s a simple yet fun idea that combines the homemade goodness of focaccia with the crowd-pleasing variety of a charcuterie board. This isn’t just another appetizer platter; it’s a laid-back, mix-and-match, 100% edible charcuterie board that’s sure to get everyone talking and nibbling.

 

Green Beans with Almonds

Try my crisp, tender Green Beans with Almonds (Green Beans Almondine) side dish! It’s a lighter alternative than casserole for Thanksgiving!
