Burrata, Prosciutto, and Arugula Flatbread with Fig Jam is a wonderful recipe for any time of year.  It’s light, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients.  It’s so damn delicious!  The burrata is rich and creamy, and one ball is the perfect amount for the flatbread.  The prosciutto is nice and salty and adds a nice texture to each bite.  The arugula is a nice pizza topping because it adds fresh flavor and a bit of crunch to each bite.  You often see this combination in recipes (burrata, prosciutto, arugula) so you know this pizza will be good! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.  Place the naan flatbread on a baking sheet and spread fig jam on each flatbread. Break apart the burrata and divided between the flatbreads.  Bake for 7 minutes.  Then remove from the oven, divide the prosciutto between each flatbread, and bake for an additional 5 minutes. In a small … Continue reading

I recently had a yummy salad at a brewery we stopped at while traveling out of state and I couldn’t stop thinking about it!  I knew I had to try to recreate it when we got home, and the result is…drumroll please… Arugula Salad with Burrata & Prosciutto. The recipe can be found here. This salad is packed with flavor and is incredibly light and fresh!  The arugula is the base of the salad and has a slightly peppery taste.  The burrata cheese adds a lovely creamy flavor in each bit and pairs well with the salty prosciutto.  I had some extra chopped walnuts lying around from a previous recipe and thought, why not toss those in for a little crunch?  The dressing is a wonderful mixture of tangy balsamic glaze (drizzled over the top) and sweet honey and fig jam (spread on the bottom of the bowl).  You will love this salad and want to make it again and … Continue reading

I recently wrote a blog called Simple Summer Bruschetta Recipes and I’ve been craving something similar ever since.  I think bruschetta is the perfect summer appetizer because it’s easy to make, it’s a bite-sized snack, it’s customizable, and it tastes great!  One piece is never enough for me, so that’s why I like to prepare a variety and enjoy a smorgasbord of recipes 😊 Here are the recipes I have for you today: Roasted Tomato Bruschetta with Pesto Peach, Prosciutto, and Ricotta Bruschetta Cream Cheese, Avocado, and Dill Bruschetta   All are phenomenal in their own way.  The Roasted Tomato Bruschetta with Pesto has warm tomatoes that burst open while baking, and the sweetness really complements the pesto.  The Peach, Prosciutto, and Ricotta Bruschetta has juicy, ripe peach slices that pair well with the salty prosciutto.  The Cream Cheese, Avocado, and Dill Bruschetta reminds me of avocado toast and is something I would love to devour … Continue reading

Apple Butter & Prosciutto Naan Flatbread is the perfect fall dinner.  It’s easy to assemble, quick to make, and tastes amazing!  The classic combination of apples and cheese give this recipe a sweet and savory taste, and very unique flavor.  It’s a great way to use up those apples or apple butter you bought during a visit to the orchard this fall 😊 The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbreads on the baking sheet. Top each flatbread with ¼ cup of apple butter.  Add more to taste.  I like to use store-bought apple butter (from either a local apple orchard or grocery store) for convenience.  You can use homemade apple butter if you prefer. Top each flatbread with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, spread evenly over the top. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the … Continue reading

Baguette sandwiches are my new favorite thing!  There is something about a baguette that makes you feel like you are in a French café, sipping cappuccino, and enjoying local fare.  They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and make for a great sandwich.   Prosciutto & Arugula Baguette Sandwiches make the perfect meal.  The prosciutto is salty, the cheese is sharp, and the arugula adds some fresh flavor.  Pair it with some mustard or mayonnaise and jam, and you are set! The recipe can be found here. Start by making the sandwich spread.  In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard.  This gives the sandwich a spicy and tangy taste.  You can use only mayonnaise or only mustard or neither, but I like the flavor of both combined. Next, slice the baguette in half.  Each half will make one sandwich.  Or you can slice … Continue reading

We have been obsessed with flatbreads lately, specifically Naan flatbreads.  Naan is a leavened, oven-baked bread that is moist and tender.  And makes amazing flatbreads 🙂 One reason we love to make flatbreads is they are quick and easy, can be customized to any flavor preference, and taste great.  You simply buy a package of Naan bread, choose your toppings, bake, and enjoy.  The possibilities are endless! I have a few of our favorite recipes to share with you. Buffalo Chicken Naan Flatbread If you or your family likes spicy food, you’ll love this pizza.  It has the perfect amount of spice that is cut with celery chunks.  You can obviously make this as light or as spicy as you want by adding more hot sauce.  We usually make our own individual pizzas because Andrew likes his much spicier than I do.  Then the never-ending debate of Blue Cheese vs Ranch dressing starts…. but you can serve with … Continue reading

Christmas is my favorite holiday to host.  I think it’s due to my love of Christmas lights and decorations, so our house is always over the top!  Plus, there are so many festive serveware options available that you can change up your table display as often as you like.  (New Christmas plates…hint hint, Andrew 😊) Sometimes I like to go all out with appetizers and the main course but there isn’t anything wrong with keeping it simple if you prefer.  I truly enjoy cooking for others and putting on a big spread but also want to enjoy the holiday with family and friends.  So, I decided to keep my menu simple this year.  I’ll be serving a few appetizers with some of the drinks from my Christmas Cocktails blog post. The first appetizer I’m going to make is Ricotta and Prosciutto Crackers.  This is a light appetizer because it’s not … Continue reading
