Wine pairings are a fun way to try out meals or appetizers that may blend well with your favorite sips!  If you’re a wine enthusiast or just a novice, sampling vino AND delicious bites is always a treat.  When you serve them alfresco style it’s even better!  Early autumn is such a beautiful season to be outside sampling flavors of the season.  We love sharing wine and nibbles after a long weekend of working in the yard and today I’m excited to share some new favorites with you!  Let’s pop the corks and serve up some easy appetizers to celebrate the rest of the outdoor season!

cheers to wine pairings!

Brie and Berries for 4th of July!

Brie and berries is such a great combination!  Bake the cheese until it’s bubbly hot and serve it with berries in balsamic glaze and you have an appetizer that your guests can’t stop eating!  It’s perfect for 4th of July celebrations because the gooey fruit is in patriotic colors!  I’m sharing the super easy and delicious recipe but also a whimsical way to serve it for the holiday that’s not all star-spangled and red, white and blue.  I love traditional holiday color but sometimes it’s nice to change it up a bit!  You can still create a festive spread but put a new twist on it depending on what you have on hand!  The Fourth of July is just around the corner so celebrate easy with a whimsical snack table!

brie and berries…delicious fun!

Whipped goat cheese and blueberry bites drizzled with a balsamic glaze is a yummy treat for the season!  Also topped with baby greens, you have a mini salad in one bite!  Today I want to share this super simple appetizer and my recipe for the whipped cheese too!  It’s delicious as a spread for sandwiches or to serve on a cheese board, but I’m particularly fond of the tangy flavor in this appetizer that is full of summer flavor!  It’s time for outdoor entertaining and easy munchies that your guests will love!  Lets get nibbling…

Sushi served on the patio is an easy and delicious way to celebrate summer!  Now that outdoor dining weather is finally here, this simple meal idea couldn’t be easier for it.  And if you’re like me, I’m always up for anything alfresco!  Grab a few rolls from your favorite carryout or grocer and fill a sampler plate for your guests…it can be as simple as that!  And you know how I love to reuse & recycle so I’m sharing a few affordable ways to make it feel festive too!  Grab your chopsticks and let’s take this party outside!

Apples and Cheese Appetizer Board!

Apples and cheese are a tasty combination in my opinion!  The crisp bite of the fruit paired with the nutty creaminess of many cheeses makes for a flavorful appetizer.  And since we might be entertaining small for a while longer, we can still enjoy the little things that bring simple joys!  So today I’d like to share an easy AND tasty appetizer treat for a casual evening at home.  This little board might be small but it will tickle your taste buds and contains some healthier options too! I’d also like to introduce to you my friends at A Dutch Masterpiece and to the yummy Opal apple.  If you don’t know either…you’re in for a delicious treat!  Let’s get ready for the weekend…with an apple and cheese board made for two!
