🌸 Dressed up store-bought hummus flower! Ps- Comment HUMMUS if you want the recipe sent to your DMs & the Spice pen info.

I was inspired by @mackenziebiehl’s viral post showing off her hummus flower. This is my take on the fun idea 🌸

INGREDIENTS

17 oz hummus (I used most of this family size tub)
1 can chickpeas (you’ll use about ⅓ or less of these)
2 oz pomegranate arils
1 ½ tbsp sumac
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
olive oil, to taste
flakey salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Fully dry the chickpeas after rinsing, and spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Dress with olive oil and salt, and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until chickpeas are slightly browned and crispy. Set aside to cool.
4. Spread hummus on a platter into petal shapes by starting from the center and spooning towards the edge of the platter.
5. Using the spice pen filled with sumac, draw a floral design along the hummus petals. If you don’t have a spice pen, just sprinkle some on at the center of the petals.
6. Add roasted chickpeas to the center, with pomegranate arils, and parsley. Top with olive oil and flakey salt, and enjoy!

Found them at Target, but they’re also at pavilions, Ralph’s, etc. I checked @instacart to see who’s had them in stock.

I love Thanksgiving, so I go all out when it comes to appetizers. For this recipe, you’ll build a cute turkey out of cheese (did you expect anything less?)!

HALLOWEEN MUMMY BAKED BRIE will forever be one of my fave spooky appetizers.

#halloweenfood #bakedbrie #ainttooproudtocheese #feedfeed #food52

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween #LTKHoliday

SAVE this MUMMY BAKED BRIE & make it for Halloween 🧻.

Full ingredients list on the blog. LINK IN BIO > find recipes on the blog > then scroll down.

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice of the top ½-inch of brie, and set aside. Spread the jam on the bottom piece of brie. Replace the top of the brie, covering the jam.

Roll the puff pastry out to approximately 14 x 11 inches. Place the brie in the center of the puff pastry. Make two cuts on both long sides of the dough, from the brie to the edges, to create even thirds. Fold the middle piece on each edge over the brie.

Cut ¾”-wide strips into the short sides of the dough, from the brie to the edges. Stretch the strips over top of the brie to create the mummy wrap. Transfer the brie to a parchment lined baking tray.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash all over the pastry. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Add large edible eyes and serve warm with baguette, apples, pears, grapes, and blueberries, if using.

Note- If I were to do it again, I would make the 1st raspberry line with both strawberries and raspberries (like the last line). It looks a little thin compared to the rest.

But otherwise, it’s a pretty easy concept. Just alternate red and white rows and then put your blackberries or blueberries into a square plate and top with cheese stars.

monterey jack, sliced and also cut into stars

This is a fave #AmazonFind I love using all year long. Kinda reminds me of candy dishes that grandmas used to have in their “sitting rooms” with stale candy! BUT the candy dish is definitely BACK! And there are so many other ways to use it.

As a cheese & charcuterie girlie, I love adding crumbles of Parmigiano Reggiano, castelvetrano olives and nuts. But it’s great for any holiday, using themed snacks or candies.

Back to school board. This round board is slightly bigger than the crate and barrel one. It’s about 14in, but you could definitely use the 12in one too. Cookie cutters are my favorite for cutting fun shapes on kids boards

Episode 1 til she’s 18? 🤷‍♀️ Mama has dreamed of this!! Believe me, it won’t be a daily occurrence (making perfect lunchbox art for her), but I’m excited to do something special every so often, especially for holidays.

I know packing lunches can be a chore, but perhaps this offers some inspo if you’re so inclined.

PS- the Rolo, the Bell peppers and the cucumbers are a little advanced for Rory right now, but I couldn’t wait to start this series and will be giving different ideas that can inspire creativity for a variety of ages.

One of my most popular posts ever, this SNOW GLOBE COCKTAIL went viral last year. Since making my own, I’ve found a much better technique where you tie the rosemary with a string and tape up the sides (I added a pic in this video from @colettescocktails to show you).

It works with any clear cocktail (i.e. vodka soda or vodka tonic), but also a perfect for sparkling water or any clear mocktail. Such a fun way to serve up a holiday drink. 🌲🌲🌲

Re: freezing glass. Just make sure your glass is freezer safe and you’re not putting in hot liquid.

Valentines Day Caprese.

- slice your baguette and toast with olive oil and salt to make your crostini

- Grab a 💛 cookie-cutter off Amazon.

- slice mozzarella. If the piece is too small to fit your cookie cutter, simply pat it down to spread it out

- top each crostini with basil, tomato, salt, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or balsamic glaze) and the mozzarella heart.

Enjoy

INGREDIENTS:
- blackberries
- Blueberries
- Mint
- Lemonade
- Champagne

DIRECTIONS:
- place mint and berries in the ice tray then pour in lemonade and freeze
- Add ice cubes to a coupe glass and serve.
- Per my note above, the mint leaves don’t last long once out of the freezer so the cuteness can wear off quickly, so feel free to omit.
