Fall 2022: buon appetito!

 Fall 2022: Buon Appetito! Welcome to our new Midseason Dreamy Nights Blog! Here we can capture our recipes, photos and memories! This blog is just for us and we are all authors so we can add to it anytime. I have zero photos! So Katherine, I hope you can help make this site more beautiful with your photos! This season, I would like to "assign" recipes where I know you each will shine and have joy in preparing your dish. If you don't like the recipe I chose, please feel free to adapt or pick something similar! We are gathering on Wednesday, November 9th at my house at 7pm. Kristin, I would love if you bring some of your favorite photos of Italy and we can watch as a slide show:) Antipasto: Katie Appetizer: Melissa Sea Bream Crudo: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/sea-bream-crudo-with-lemon-and-olives Salad/Bread: Kristin Italian Kale Caesar Salad https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/italian-kale-caesar-salad Bread of your choice- you are the queen!!!

I was thinking that a corn/honey dessert would pair well (see below.) or if you are doing dessert and find another local fruit in season, we can find another recipe. https://www.google.com/amp/s/food52.com/recipes/23902-honeyed-sweet-corn-cakes/amp Or https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/223512/fresh-sweet-corn-fritters/

Fall 2020:Nordic Style

Fall 2020: Melissa Hosted  This dinner I hope will be filled with outdoor fireside warmth and friends.  No fuss. Just us.  If you don’t find a recipe that suits you keep digging through the true north kitchen site. I love her stuff. Nordic food isn’t fancy but our combination should bring hygge and deliciousness. See you next week!!!! I’ll be serving salmon and a green, limpa, and of course warm glogg (Katherine I’ll find an NA version) . Pick one of the following.
