Hi Everyone! I'm wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year! May you go into 2013 with an open heart and an open mind!
So, I'm putting together a few things for my guests and I to munch on throughout the evening...and like my favorite Chef, Ina Garten's show, "Barefoot Contessa", I'll talk about dessert first!
I made dark-chocolate-dipped strawberries, which I then dipped in confetti-colored sprinkles! They're in the fridge right now getting nice and cold!
 |
| The tops of the strawberries were a bit white, but who cares! The best part of them are with the chocolate and sprinkles! |
I also made Pigs in a Blankie! I used the "reduced fat" Hebrew National hot dogs and Pilsbury Crescent Dough.
 |
| Each hot dog was cut into 3 pieces. |
 |
| Each pig was wrapped in blanket and ready to go into oven. |
 |
| Yum! They came out awesome! Woof, Woof! |
Next up, I threw together a simple Shrimp Scampi...
 |
| Shrimp, peeled and cleaned, fresh parsley, garlic... |
 |
| Nothing better than a pan of shrimp simmering in garlic, butter, lemon and parsley! Yum! Served over rice or pasta! |
Ciao! See you all in 2013!
Gina D.
