Peppermint Play Dough Recipe
I take a Mommy & Me class with my youngest at our preschool and they have seriously the BEST play dough I have ever experienced! The secret ingredient is peppermint extract that makes the play dough smell minty and lovely! It is such a hit with the moms and kids, that the teacher gave us her recipe along with a great holiday gift idea for little ones.
This was my first attempt at making my own play dough, and I have to say it was very easy and so fun!
Peppermint Play Dough Recipe:
Goat Cheese, Sausage & Artichoke Breakfast Strata
I can’t tell you how many times I have Googled “make ahead breakfast casserole” searching for a great recipe I could make the day ahead for the time when we have had house guests. Susanne (my Tiny Oranges partner who also happened to go to culinary school which is why I refer to her as Your Sus Chef!) sent me this amazing recipe for a goat cheese, sausage & artichoke breakfast strata that I made for the day after Thanksgiving and it was A-MAZING! Tuck this one away for the holidays mamas! I am also making it this week for a Moms’ Group brunch potluck. Here is the recipe from Susanne…
This recipe is great because it’s make ahead, & perfect for feeding a crowd over the Holidays. Feel free to play around with the different flavors as long as you keep the measurements about the same. For example: pancetta instead of sausage, mushrooms instead of artichokes & sage instead of thyme, or whatever you dream up!
WARNING: This dish is rich & delicious! Perfect for Holiday decadence. Pair with some fresh sliced fruit to lighten up the meal~
Serves 8…
Seared Chicken Breast topped with Olive Tapenade & Goat Cheese
Here is another fabulous recipe from Your Sus Chef (aka Susanne my lovely Tiny Oranges partner!) Sounds so yummy for an easy weeknight dinner and love her ideas for what you can do with the leftovers. Here is what she writes…
Seared Chicken Breast topped with Olive Tapenade & Goat Cheese
This way of preparing chicken breast is a great basic/quick preparation to make a delish, moist chicken breast for so many different types of meals!
If you have left over, serve this olive tapenade with crackers, your fave cheese + almonds for a fancy cheese platter, over some heirloom tomatoes + fresh mozzarella for an amazing salad or liven up your fave sandwich by spreading a little on your bread.
Appetizer Recipe: Pesto Toasts with Burrata Cheese
Recently I got invited to a party where everyone was to bring an appetizer to share. Since I am cooking challenged and not one that has a ton of hors d’oeuvres recipes stashed in my back pocket, I asked Susanne, my “Sus Chef” sales director (get it…SUS chef ?!) to send me one of her favorite go-to appetizer recipes. This one is incredible! The perfect appetizer recipe for Thanksgiving or the holidays. Here it is in all it’s cheesy yumminess…as written by Susanne.
