Coconut Sugar Candied Brie
This is hands down my favorite dessert and one of my favorite things to eat period. The creamy buttery brie, which is lightly sweetened with a coconut sugar crust, begs to be eaten with juicy fresh fruit and warm bread. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and textures in one bite. A wonderful addition to your next charcuterie board.
Shrimp Ceviche
Meaty chunks of shrimp paired with sliced cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and creamy avocado. Healthy, fresh and bursting with citrus flavor, this ceviche is incredibly simple to make and has beautiful color. It’s the perfect appetizer to bring to that summer picnic.
Cilantro Feta Turkey Meatballs
These turkey meatballs are flavorful yet so simple to make with just a few ingredients including my homemade creamy cilantro lemon dressing. An added bonus of using the creamy dressing in the meatball filling is that it makes the meatballs juicy and keeps them from drying out. Serve them as an appetizer with the same dressing for dipping, or coat them in your favorite sauce and pair with pasta and a side of veggies for a complete meal!.
Balsamic Mushrooms with Sausage Stuffing
There is something about pairing mushrooms with sausage and green pepper that I cannot get enough of. It’s the perfect flavor combination. These stuffed mushrooms are extra special with the addition of luxurious balsamic glaze that adds a slight sweetness and complexity to this show stealing appetizer. Serve as an Hors d'oeuvre for the Holidays or just enjoy paired with a salad for a deliciously satisfying meal.
