Hello Everyone,
I hope you are as excited as I am about it being Fall once again. Why all the excitement you may ask? This is the time of year where the weather gets cooler, the events for everything start in full swing and it is the gateway to the holidays. I LOVE the holidays, don’t you? A chance to break out the good china, crystal, linens and set the table proper. Usually there are 50+ people at any event at our home and paper plates, paper napkins, plastic cutlery and red cups are in order. The food tastes the same and clean up is not as arduous of course. It wouldn’t feel like the holidays without a house full of family and friends. It’s what makes it FUN!
We have birthdays in October so that is the first thing on the agenda. What does the birthday person want or are we going out? Depends on the day and if it’s a work day or not. When we do eat in that is when the china, crystal and linens get used. Family time is always the best and now we have a grandbaby so it makes it even more special. What do you make for events at your home. I would love some feedback about your menu and ideas. Let’s chat at elenagranac21@yahoo.com.
I am sharing a picture of the mushroom toast I made the other night for dinner. One of my favorites. So easy, fast and especially good for when you are starving and don’t have time to make a full fledged meal.
Toast some good Sourdough Bread, I always butter my toast because I love the taste but it is not necessary. Wash your mushrooms and if you like slice them, quarter or throw the caps whole in the pan with butter, green onions, basil, garlic and Tuscan Herb blend. If you have Tuscan Blend flavored Olive Oil that works great also and can be substituted for butter or…added to it! Cook the mushrooms till they have turned colors and are soft. Put the mushroom mix on your toast and eat! Simple, easy and fast! I don’t want to forget if you like cheese, melt some mozzarella on top before eating. Have to have meat, no problem, put it on the toast before the mushrooms and then add the cheese. Oh it is beyond expectation and won’t disappoint you!!!
I am all about easy, fast, simple and YUMMY! I hope you are too!
