Lighter Ideas for Holiday Sides!
As much as I like a traditional holiday dinner, I also love to mix things up with new flavors and presentations. I find that new twists on old staples makes the dinner not only more interesting…
Basic Hummus
This recipe comes to us via Food and Wine and is from Chef Grant Achatz, who makes this simple, creamy and sublimely silky zucchini soup without any cream at all. And you can easily use the ‘Monster Zucchini’ here! We made this soup this weekend and were shocked how good just a few simple ingredients were.
Easter Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a traditional appetizer that can be given a flashy new look using natural dyes. Soaking your peeled hard boiled eggs overnight with beets (pink), red cabbage (blue), or turmeric (yellow) imparts the intense color, not the flavor, to the egg white for a stunning presentation.
