I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
This delicious cheese spread was a big hit when we brought it to a St. Patrick’s Day party earlier this month. The sharp cheddar balanced by the mellow stout is a perfect mach with hearty rye toast. With flavors reminiscent of rarebit sauce on toast, this is a perfect appetizer for a casual dinner party!
Happy New Year, dear readers!! Best wishes for a wonderful 2011 to you all!!
My mom has been making this recipe since the 1970s when, she says, it was “all the rage.” We have tweaked the original to suit our family’s tastes. It is a delicious and festive appetizer that we often serve during the holidays. My whole family gets excited and hovers around the famous cheese ring. I believe that the combination of cheese, jam, and nuts on a cracker is a Southern thing – if you haven’t tried it, it will change your life!!
I am sad to announce, dear readers, the passing of a much-loved blog that I and many others have enjoyed over the past several years. For unknown reasons, Katie has taken down her food blog, Good Things Catered. In celebration of and appreciation for her contribution to the food blogging community, to our kitchens, and to our imaginations, I am sharing one of my favorite Good Things Catered recipes with you all.
Here is a recipe from my Grandma – my dad’s mom. Most of my recipes from Grandma are simple, but super-flavorful – and this one is no exception!
Sometimes, making an appetizer doesn’t have to be as difficult or complicated as you think it does. Try the delicious combination of a log of brie cheese drizzled with honey and topped with toasted walnuts. It’s simple but incredibly elegant. Most of all, the delicate blend of flavors is absolutely mouth-watering. . .
