Two Super Duper Easy Appetizers!

Busy weekend! Grace had her 1st High School Homecoming Dance on Saturday.

 

So Pretty!

 

On Sunday I hosted a Family Get Together. My brother was out from South Carolina. It was great seeing him and everyone else.

Family 🙂

 

I did some cooking on Sunday for the party. I am going to share a few of those dishes. I will post the other ones at a later date.

These 2 recipes are super duper easy! The first one, Baked Havarti is my most requested recipe.

Baked Havarti

• Crescent Rolls
• Block of Havarti cheese
• Lemon dill seasoning
• Champagne mustard

Some stores you can buy Havarti in a package. You can also go to your deli and ask them to cut you a chunk about 2 inches thick.

I usually only use the Cherchies Brand of lemon dill. I use to use their champagne mustard also but it is hard to find. Actually…Champagne mustard is getting hard to find in store. I may have to order online. Here is Cherchies website. http://www.cherchies.com/index.html .

Preheat oven to 375 F

 

Roll out crescent rolls and seal perforations

 

 

Spread with mustard

 

 

Sprinkle with seasoning

 

 

Put cheese on top

 

 

Wrap cheese with crescent rolls and try to seal as best as you can.

 

I did not do such a good job of sealing 😦

 

Put in a greased pan. You can use whatever shape you want. This chunk of cheese was rectangular so I went for a loaf pan. If you get a square chunk a round cake pan works well.

 

Bake at 375 for approximately 25 minutes. You will need to check it frequently to see how it is doing.

 

Flip it out of the pan and serve with crackers. Cheese will ooze out when cut...yum :p

 

Every once in a while I will experiment with different flavored mustard’s and seasonings. It always turns out good.

Merry Tomatoes

• Peppar Vodka
• grape tomatoes
• 1/4 cup lemon pepper
• 1 tsp celery salt

You can use regular vodka but I like the peppar because it has a hint of pepper in it. It also makes GREAT Bloody Marys along with Zing Zang bloody Mary Mix http://zingzangcom.easystorecreator.com/

 

Poke holes in the tomatoes with a fork. Then add vodka to cover 1/2 of the tomatoes. Let them soak for at least 3 hours...longer would be better.

 

 

Mix the seasoings together. Place seasoning next to tomatoes along with toothpicks. Guests are to spear tomato with toothpick and dip into seasoning mix.

 

I should have take a photo of it with seasoning on it. But it was kind of crazy yesterday.

Thank you everyone for all the comments. I love getting them. That way I know someone is out there reading this  😉

Most of you know I am totally re-doing my kitchen. The fun starts this week with removing wall paper. I am not looking forward to that but keeping the final vision in my head. So if anyone is looking for something to do 🙂 we would gladly accept the help.

So thinking about this remodeling which will not be done until late December and current cabinets are to be out by November 1st….I am thinking my blog will be How to Cook Without a Kitchen! Ha! Stay tuned!
