Welcome to this week’s Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party!
This week we are looking for your fresh berry recipes. Okay, I know its still January, so frozen or canned is fine!
Before we start, let’s congratulate last week’s winners from the Peanut Butter Party!
Spinach Strawberry Salad
Spinach Strawberry Salad is a classic combination. Add a little red onion and some croutons and you have a familiar friend. Normally this salad is served with a strawberry balsamic dressing. I thought a fresh strawberry dressing with champagne vinegar and a few carefully placed pistachios (more on the salad than off the plate) sounded tasty.
Grape seed oil keeps this vinaigrette light. I like the crisp clean taste.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this salad makes a perfect start for your special meal. Those candy hearts are for after dinner!
The strawberry dressing is easy to make. You can add all the ingredients at one time or pulse the strawberries first then add the rest of the ingredients.
for two, so romantic!
Press dough into a well greased 8-inch cake pan.
Spread with marshmallow creme and swirl into dough.
Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cut into wedges and serve.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gallo Family Vineyards in conjunction with Sunday Supper. All opinions are my own.
Game Day around here means at any given time you could be watching Pro football, college bowls, hockey or basketball. My guy loves them all. Sure he has some favorite teams and all-time favorite players, like Walter Payton from the Chicago Bears, but in general, it’s about the game.
I’m not saying he’s a couch potato. He’s also a runner when not watching sports, logging in an average of 12 miles per run.
Me on the other hand I stay neutral when it comes to sports.
No matter what sport is on the TV there will be food and drinks involved. That is my department.
Barbecue fills the bill on such occasions. You can pile on as much or as little as you want. I’ll make a crock of Sloppy Joes or Pulled Pork BBQ with ciabatta, onion or Kaiser rolls. Serve it up with some snacks and drinks and it is party time!
When I learned that Gallo Family Vineyards was joining us around the table this week for Sunday Supper, I wanted to make something special.
I love their White Merlot and I wanted to create a barbecue that pairs well with its medium-bodied sweetness. Gallo describes their White Merlot as being like, “A family reunion of all the flavors of the Merlot grape including ripe plum, blueberry, and hints of cranberry but in a lighter bodied, brighter style.” They go on to say that their White Merlot pairs well with spicy foods and sweet and smoky glazed ham.
Perfect!
You can find the perfect pairings for your Game Day food at here and where to buy it at their handy store locator .
