50s Food Themed Christmas Party

Smoked Trout

Holiday Baking

What a fun, easy and NO BAKE, candy to make for the holiday's - peppermint patties! 

Roasted Veg

I found this recipe on Pintrest and decided to give it a go for Thanksgiving dinner - it's SO GOOD and very easy to make!!!

HOW TO MAKE IT

Cut Brussel sprouts in half and coat with oil.

Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. 

Bake (at 350) for 40 minutes or so.

After about 20 minutes add the squash to the baking sheet (cut and seed the squash, also peel the rind; cube it and place it in a bowl; add oil and maple syrup - about 1 tbsp of each - and mix; place on baking sheet - bake for 20+ minutes, or until soft)

When finished - place veg in a bowl with a cup of dried cranberries and stir.

EAT.

and 

ENJOY!

Pintrest Potato Skins

I found this - SUPER - easy recipe on Pintrest.

Slice potato's
Oil each side (they said butter but I did oil)
Sprinkle Kosher salt on each side
Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes
Flip'em and bake another 10 minutes (or so, until the second side is browned up)
Sprinkle with cheese, bacon, scallion (I used chopped shallots 'cuz my supermarket had shit for scallions)
Bake a few more minutes - to melt the cheese
Remove and much!

I should have bough sour cream...

Seared Salmon with Glazed Carrots & Saffron-Yogurt Sauce

This Blue Apron recipe was from a guest chef - Zachary Engel.

Also, pan searing salmon is very easy and it's quick. Oh yeah, and it tastes good. 

And my new antique Pink Depression Glass juicer works! :)

Raw Quail Egg

Aside from the gloriousness of a full plate of sushi, this post is because I tried something new, a raw Quail Egg on top of Wasabi Tobiko. It was quite tasty! :) 

*I feel compelled to make it clear that I did not make this sushi, just ate it...hahaha!
