Herbed Cranberry Chèvre Truffles #CranberryWeek

By

I'm excited to be sharing this recipe as part of Cranberry Week - now in its third year! See all the tasty cranberry recipes being shared today below and follow #CranberryWeek on social media for more ideas all week long.

Herbed Cranberry Chèvre Truffles


I've always loved savory truffles. Maybe it's because I'm a fan of cheese. Like a full-blown caseophile. Seriously. So, I decided to share a version of my favorite chèvre truffles with fresh cranberries mixed in. Yum.


Ingredients
  • 8 ounces chèvre 
  • 1/4 C organic fresh cranberries
  • 2 T chopped fresh herbs (I used a mixture of parsley, dill, and mint)
  • 1 t olive oil
  • 1/4 C chopped nuts (I used macadmia nuts)

Procedure
In a food processor pulse together the cranberries, herbs, and olive oil to a form a rustic paste. Set aside.

Place chèvre and cranberry mixture together in a bowl, setting aside 2 T for rolling a few of the truffles in. Mix the cheese and cranberries together until well-combined.

In one bowl, place the remaining cranberry mixture; in another bowl, place the chopped nuts.


Roll teaspoon-sized mounds into balls. For each person, I did one plain, one with the cranberry mixture pressed onto the outside, and one with macadamia nuts pressed onto the outside.


Refrigerate until ready to serve. I served these with some sliced salami and stuffed olive for an easy autumn dinner.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
