Hello Bello

This is a dish that I have been making for years. Mostly because it combines so many of my favorite things. It is also very easy, and absolutely delicious. Here are the only four ingredients you need:

Portobello Mushroom Caps, Avocado, Crab Meat, and Mozzarella Cheese

Carve out the centers of the mushroom and bake on 450 for 10-15 minutes.

While that is baking, mix in a bowl the other three, sprinkle with whatever seasoning you like, for me, garlic everything. Then, take out the Portobello's and top with the delicious mixture. Pop back in the oven for about 5 minutes. That's it. Low cal, delicious, and simple. Talk about easy gourmet!

This is great for a fast weeknight meal after you've been running around all day. Or say just returning from a photo shoot.

Happy Tuesday!

So Much More

It's Martini Moment time! I was in the shower the other day and looked on one of my shelves at the Baking Soda and thought that some people may find that odd that there is Baking Soda in the shower. That got me to thinking about the basically endless possibilities that it has to offer besides just actual baking. I thought I would share some of those things.  

Mix it with:

Exfoliator: it evens out the Ph balance of your skin and will remove a spray tan

Shampoo: it removes any left behind product

Bath salts: for detoxing

Water for your flowers: keeps them healthy

Water to make a paste: for itchy bug bites

Happy Friday Pretties! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Time To Toast

 I truly love a good canapé! Great things surround delicious food and wine. Not only is this very elegant appetizer so easy and fast it's also ecstatically pleasing. Because let's face it, as the hostess you want to be chatting and hanging out too, not slaving away in the kitchen. This is from one of my many cookbooks named "Fun and Festive". Well I'll say.

Spanish Ham and Cheese Toasts

6oz package of goat cheese

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

24 toasted French bread slices

1/2 cup fresh parsley

8 slices prosciutto or Serrano ham

First put the goat cheese in a small bowl, add cumin and paprika, stir until blended and cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Then all you do is spread the mixture on the bread sprinkle with parsley and top with ham.

It's fast, easy, and chic. Also don't forget to fill that wine basically to the brim like I did! Haha!

Have a wonderful Wednesday! Cheers!
