This is a play on a classic rillettes, which is kinda like a pate that is usually made with a combination of meat usually pork, spices all cooked in fat. To achieve a delectable spread. Instead of meat, we are using perfectly poached salmon combined with smoked salmon along with herbs, lemon, and butter to make a sublime spread that is delicious for an appetizer or try it for brunch. Served with crostini or Melba toast crackers, it’s a very elegant and versatile spread.

The amazing color of these roasted red beats brings a huge wow factor to this well-known dip. I can’t believe this stunning bright pink/fuchsia color is all natural! When the beets combine with the garbanzos beans, lemon, and tahini, it makes for a really spectacular dip for vegetables or pita chips. Ho Ho YUM! 

Take garbanzo beans to the next level and make this your new favorite Winter appetizer!

Sausage, peppers, and onions are one of my favorite meals. I just love that savory combination of the pork & sweetness of the onions and peppers. In this rendition, those scrumptious, savory, sweet flavors are presented in an easy-to-hold “bowl” of a lightly roasted mushroom. A perfect finger food for an appetizer party! I dare you to eat just one.

Nothing beats a simple cookie: egg, sugar, and almonds. When I added the flavoring fiori di Sicilia, it transported me back to my childhood. It reminded me of those classic Italian nougat candies from La Florentine that came in little boxes. My favorite was the orange ones with the picture of Ippolita on them. Have you ever had one?? Backs then these candies were only available at holiday time. These cookies have just enough sweetness, along with a hint of orange, citrus, and vanilla. That is positively addictive. Each one is shaped a little different, like a snowflake. They are so good and will disappear as quickly as a snowflake too!
