BEETS AND CITRUS

Beets and Citrus are two flavors that really go hand in hand and they are the two main ingredients of the terrific dish I make in today’s episode! I serve this a lot during the holidays because it can be either an appetizer or a side dish. I often place it on a buffet and people will serve themselves a slice of beet and orange with a drizzle of the dressing on top.

CARAMEL CHOCOLATE EGGNOG MARTINI

The holidays call for Caramel Chocolate Eggnog Martinis! The entertainer in me can’t resist having a special beverage ready for guests when they come to my house to celebrate. Eggnog is a fun drink for the season, but it is a little heavy, which is why I mix it with other flavors to make it into a zippy holiday sipper. This is the kind of drink you enjoy for dessert or when you are munching on appetizers. It is strong so I don’t suggest enjoying more than one or two!

BEET NAPOLEON

When I host holiday meals I often serve plated dinners. I find they lend a little more formality to the occasion and it gives me the opportunity to break out some awesome recipes that are best served individually. This Beet Napolean is one of those recipes I serve on such occasions. It is absolutely stunning on a plate and is a delicious appetizer.

EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST

Our holidays are a little different each year depending on which one of us my parents are visiting. When my mother is with us she is always in charge of Christmas morning breakfast. However, this year she is visiting my sibling so I plan to make this Overnight Eggnog French Toast. I love this recipe because it is really easy for me to pull together the night before and pop in the oven on Christmas morning.
