Planning for the holidays and what I’ll be serving my company is half the fun of actually having Thanksgiving or Christmas at my home.

Step One – Decide What Type of Serving Dish

When planning for a party one thing I love to do is set a pretty display for the food I’ll be serving my guests. Pretty much every time I entertain you’ll find one if not several of these are used.  I love how height adds beauty to your table or buffet.

Prior to my guests arriving, I pull out each serving dish that I’ll be using for each appetizer, charcuterie, or dip mix. Then I place the serving spoon or utensil on top of the dish. This way when guests are arriving I’m not rummaging thru my silverware drawer looking for a serving utensil. I cannot tell you how many times this has helped me when guests are ready to eat! 

For this ‘Dill’icious Spinach Dip I thought I would place it under my vintage glass cloche! Doesn’t that look so lovely!

Ten Minutes to Prep

Ten minutes is all you need. Add 8 oz of mayonnaise to 8 oz of sour cream, then blend in the Dip Mix. I’ve used my favorite mixing bowl set. 

That is it! 

Mad Dash Mixes has taken all the guesswork out of mixing for you.

That is perfect in my book!

Serving Ideas

To serve my Dip Mix, I added a gluten-free cracker option for my gluten-free guests. In addition, I also added a  seeded sourdough bread cube option for ease of dipping and eating. 

(For those with gluten intolerance, gluten-free crackers are best served in a separate dish for cross-contamination. For my purpose today, I’ve opted to show you both together)

Once my planning and appetizers are done, you can relax and enjoy the time with your family and guests!

Isn’t that what the holidays are all about?

Relax.

Enjoy.

Eat and be Merry!

What Herbs Go with Rosemary: A Fresh Flavor Guide

Today I’m sharing What Herbs Go with Rosemary the Best? A fresh flavor guide to help you decipher how to mix your companion plants. Growing up, I was fortunate to spend countless hours in my Italian grandfather’s garden. It was a sprawling paradise filled with an abundance of fresh herbs, vegetables, and grapevines. One of my fondest memories is of my grandfather carrying a salt shaker in his pocket. He would wander through the rows of tomatoes, pluck one straight off the vine, sprinkle it with salt, and enjoy it right there in the garden. I still believe this is the best way to enjoy a fresh tomato. His pride in his garden was evident in his meticulous care of every plant, and his joy in sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends was contagious.
