marinated mushroom crostini with whipped herbed go

marinated mushroom crostini with whipped herbed goat cheese ✨ seemed appropriate to reshare for the holidays !

ingredients:

200g goat cheese
100g cream cheese
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
zest of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp chives, chopped + divided
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
salt & pepper, to taste
1 French baguette, thinly sliced & toasted in oven
1 garlic clove
1 jar store-bought marinated mushrooms

steps:

To make the whipped goat cheese, simply add the goat cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, chives, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt + pepper to a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
*You can prep this the night before.

For the toasted baguette, preheat oven to 400F. Add the sliced baguette in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven until lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. No need to flip. Set aside and let cool slightly until ready to handle and rub each slice with the garlic on top.

To assemble crostini, simply spread the whipped goat cheese mixture on each slice of toasted baguette and add a spoonful of marinated mushrooms. Sprinkle with extra chives and serve.

Bon appétit! ✨

A holiday dinner made easy with cheese fondue —

A holiday dinner made easy with cheese fondue — it’s also the perfect sophisticated excuse to eat a block of cheese (just saying) 🫕😌

The best part about a fondue dinner is being able to have fun & connect with your guests. There’s very little cooking involved, so no extra holiday stress. All you need is tasty cheese, your favorite fixings for dipping and your loved ones around the table.

Oh, and don’t forget…
no double dipping! 😬

I used @kana.goods Dutch oven with @ikeacanada portable induction cooktop. The cooktop is great to have on hand for extra cooking space but go ahead and use a fondue set if you have.

Shrimp Cocktail - A classic appetizer that brings

Shrimp Cocktail - A classic appetizer that brings back the taste of nostalgia! ✨ Growing up, there wasn’t a single holiday party where you’d find leftovers of this appetizer. As soon as it was served, it would be gone in a flash!

Whether you’re cooking it yourself or getting a pre-made option, an easy way to serve shrimp cocktail while keeping the dish cool is using @kana.goods Stainless Steel Half Sheet Pan. Simply add ice to the sheet pan, lay shrimp over top with some lemon wedges, add your favorite cocktail sauce in the center et voilà!

Its ergonomic design makes it easy to transport and looks pretty darn chic as a serving platter! From oven to barbecue and now as an icy serving platter, Kana’s bakeware is made to last a lifetime, becoming a classic in your kitchen just like this appetizer. 😉

Who’s hosting for the holidays? 🙋🏽‍♀️✨
Entertaining is my love language. Hosting gatherings, cooking delicious meals and laughter in the room— it makes my heart full.

I’m a firm believer in having a good round of staple small kitchen appliances that bring ease to holiday hosting and makes it fun, easy, and approachable for everyone. @walmartcanada has everything you need to host this holiday season at great prices!
A couple of my musts:

The Kalorik Maxx Digital Air Fryer Oven does it all!! With 14 presets, you can air fry, roast, toast, bake and more.

The Starfrit Pro Mandoline gets veggies prepared quickly. With 4 interchangeable blades, you can cube, slice, julienne and even grate your ingredients.

You can shop my favorites in my stories! What’s your kitchen must-haves for hosting?

Bringing this easy roasted broccoli salad back to

Bringing this easy roasted broccoli salad back to the meal rotation. It’s ALL about that combo of roasted veg, crisp apples, feta, cranberries, crunchy slivered almonds with the maple-curry vinaigrette 👌🏽

ingredients for the salad:
3 heads of broccoli florets, roughly chopped (also love using a bag of broccoli florets at Costco to ease on the prep)
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
salt+ pepper to taste
1 small apple, diced
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup almonds, slivered
1/3 cup feta, crumbled

ingredients for the vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp curry powder
salt + pepper to taste

steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a large parchment lined baking sheet, add broccoli and shallots and toss with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 20 minutes, until broccoli is slightly browned, crisp and tender.

Meanwhile, prep the vinaigrette by shaking all vinaigrette ingredients together in a jar with a lid, or whisk them in a small bowl or measuring cup.

To a large bowl, add roasted broccoli, shallots, apple, dried cranberries, almonds and feta. Toss with vinaigrette and serve.

*If you want to bulk it up, you could add some chicken, tofu or more roasted veggies.

Bon appétit!
