Artisanal Crackers

Hello Friends!

Sharing the most amazing home made Artisanal Crackers with Olive Oil and Fresh Rosemary.

This is a must try recipe! It's easy and delicious!

Great for Entertaining! Low Calorie! Fresh!!

Great for those Happy Hours with Wine and Cheese!

Check this out!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 Cups of Flour

2/3 Cup Water

1/4 Cup Good Olive oil

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

Preheat to 425

Mix all ingredients in your Kitchen Aid Mixer using the Bread Hook

Knead for 5 minutes or so until dough is silky smooth

Let it rest for 20 minutes

Roll out as thin as possible. They transfer to a baking sheet easily, even though they are paper thin.

After topping with Salt, use a rolling pin to gently press the Salt into the dough before baking.

Use good salt (I used Kosher.) Use good Olive Oil (Extra Virgin) and Fresh Rosemary

I made mine Rustic, but you can cut into any shape you prefer.

Vary this Recipe easily with any herb or leave plain...good no matter what!

Oh and each large cracker only has 66 calories....munch on!!!

Take that Monday!!!

Enjoy!!!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday Friends!

It's all about Warm Summer Days and Cool Crisp Happy Hours!

I kicked off the Summer with this Hottie as well as some

of my Fabulous Friends at an Amazing Sunday Brunch

drinking some fun adult beverages...which brings me to....it's a Fabulous Fri Yay!!!

Time for Happy Hour!!! It's 5 O'Clock somewhere!!!

Looking for a delicious Rose`?

Look no further...I just love this Rose`!!

Meet Schramsberg Brut Rose from Carneros, Anderson Valley,

and the Sonoma and Marin Coastal Areas.

This Rose` is Flavorful, Complex and Dry...making it 

both versatile with food or delicious as an aperitif.

It is strongly influenced by the Pinot Noir, but the Chardonnay gives it 

a little spice, structure, and length on the Palate.

You can enjoy this Delicious little Sparkler on any occasion!

And speaking of occasions time to celebrate those fathers in our lives!

Pop open a bottle of this little bubbly and enjoy your happy hours!

Have a special Father's Day!!

Cheers Friends!!!

Dinner for a Friend

Isn't it great to have a network of friends 

to love you and support you.

I recently had a very good friend give birth to a Precious Baby Girl

...so I brought her dinner this week. It makes you feel good

to really help someone. And this wasn't Baby #1....It was

Baby #3! Which is close to my heart!!! As always Presentation is Key!

I like making all kinds of easy dinners for friends...I love to ask the family

if there are any Diet Restrictions or Requests. In this Case...they were easy!

It was a "Mexican Fiesta Dinner"!

I got this Great Canvas Basket for the Baby Girls Room...

it made a great Presentation for the Dinner!

And well...I like to be crafty every now and then...

I couldn't stop myself...I had to make her a Pennant with her name on it!!

Love Personalization...and she is Precious...it needed her name on it!!!

I am seriously Obsessed with Fresh Rosemary!

I added a couple Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary tied with Jute Rope...just

for the scent....love it! It's all about the details!!!

And the details are what makes things special and memorable.

So, I made these great Chicken Enchiladas with all Fresh Ingredients!

I kept it easy for my friend to Bake the Casserole at their convenience.

They said it was good...so I am hoping that was truth!

Super Easy and Super Yummy!!!

I like to deliver Food in Throw Away Dishes.

They obviously have a lot going on!
