| Article Title :: EASY DISHES FOR SINGLES TO MAKE ON THANKSGIVING |
| |
|
A number of my single friends always ask me what they can make
that is easy and delicious to take to a Thanksgiving dinner. So
here are the tips and recipes that work well, whether you're
single or not, when you are a guest in need of a dish.
THE PRESENTATION
A great presentation is important - even simple food will look
better and be more appealing if you use garnishes and set it on
a nice serving dish. You can even go to your local party store
and pick up a small tray and a doily. Add a few small mums, with
stems cut off, and some greens and you are set. Or put a
mini-pumpkin in the middle of the serving dish with your
appetizers around it. You'll be surprised how interesting it

| Article Title :: Herb Silhouette Potato Chips |

Potatoes what an amazing food. When you're homesick what do you
think of mashed potatoes? When you order a burger what do you
order to go with it French fried potatoes. Finally when you go
out for a hearty juicy steak what comes along side, a baked
potato.
Herb silhouette potato chips are a grown up version of the
traditional potato chip. These paper thin potato chips are an
attractive gourmet way to serve potatoes. You will be able to
see a silhouette of your favorite herb inside each potato chip.
Potatoes, one per person

| Article Title :: Parmesan Wafers |
| |
|
The first time I ran across parmesan wafers I was in a steak
house with my dad. He had ordered a salad and immediately began
raving about these strange flat cookie looking things. After a
few minutes of him raving I decided to try one. It turns out he
was right. They were parmesan wafers, we ended up ordering these
tangy, crunchy wafers as an appetizer and continued to enjoy
this new found treat.
Later after trying to re-create the recipe at home I finally
called my dad. I had come up with the combination that made
those tasty parmesan wafers such a treat. We now serve these
parmesan wafers with salads, soups and on occasion as a simple
appetizer.
Now when my dad comes to visit I still m (read full article) |
