Blog B'Day and party snacks

My blog is one year old :) I can't believe it's been a year since I started.

Seems like it was yesterday. :)

Last year I made noodles salad for the New Year's Party.

This time I've made pizza rolls, Caprese salad, cheese sticks and ham rolls.

I've tried to take pictures of everything but, you know, I was rushing through preparations a bit.

 Pizza rolls are just pizza but rolled into a log and cut like cinnamon rolls.

I made pizza rolls for supper a couple of weeks ago - they're pretty easy to make and I think they would freeze really well. 

Caprese salad - mozzarella and tomatoes, but no basil. Instead I mix a bit of olive oil with pesto and pour over salad.

Cheese sticks - out of this recipe or just use store-bought puff pastry, brush it with egg wash and cover with grated cheese.

You can twist the strips of pastry with cheese before baking to make them look nice and swirly :)

Ham rolls - some ham (big slices), cream cheese, chives, black pepper, sweet paprika, pickles (optional).

This is an appetizer that comes together really quick. You could add some chopped olives or finelly chopped bell peppers.

I'll post separate recipes for these snack after the weekend.

 Have an amazing party today 

and

a very lucky, healthy, sweet and delicious New Year 2012!

Friday Favs - hot chocolate

 Last but one day of the year :) I'm drinking hot chocolate while completing New Year's Eve party menu.

This time, I'm doing only half of the cooking as we are invited to a party, but still... I'm not going 

empty-handed, am I? :)

Tuna and feta dip (or spread)

A quick post about a dip I made about a week ago.

I was in the mood for tuna but run out off cheese. I had half a packet of feta ...

How bad could they taste together, I thought.

Broccoli and feta dip (salad)

 Vegetable options this winter are pretty slim. I don't like to buy imported veggies. Thus, I'm stuck with frozen veg or nothing at all.

 

One of my absolute favourite frozen veggies is broccoli. I could eat it everyday, seriously.

Easy nutella fudge

I thought I'll be too busy to post anything today, but here you go :)

It's Christmas Eve today in Poland. You could ask what's the big deal, it's Christmas Eve everywhere.

  I think that we prepare and celebrate Christmas Eve so much more than the rest of Christmas.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 

Hope you have fabulous time with your families and friends.

May the food you eat be delicious and non-fattening :)

I'll be posting some of my mums cakes after the holidays and some of my party snack ideas for New Year's Eve, so stay tuned :)

Have a nice weekend everyone and don't eat too much :) (just kidding)

Chocolate orange peel

Remember the candied orange peel I made?

Well, it dried all right.

It's delicious on it's own, but... chocolate makes everything better, doesn't it?

So, I dunked my orange peel in chocolate and made it heavenly :)

It's pretty easy to do.
