Going to a dinner party and want to bring something special and unique? Stressing because you’re in charge of preparing part or the whole Thanksgiving dinner, especially when everyone seems to be allergic to something? Here are some simple, affordable options you can follow:
1. Start with Tapas! Tapenades, muffuletta, spreads, nuts, dried fruit, and crackers are the perfect start to any meal.
2. Don’t just roast the turkey, try roasting vegetables with a rich balsamic vinegar and then use an infused olive oil at the end. Makes a great side dish.
3. Perfect end to a great dinner? Pair really good chocolate with your favorite wine varietals. Simply chop several different types of chocolate and pour your favorite Syrah, Cab, or Port!
