Hi, come on in for the next stop at Deb's Housewarming party. Pearl and I have been anxiously awaiting your arrival! Wasn't your margarita over at Rinda's awesome?! I imagine a few of you still have Rinda's glass in your hand so we might as well start with a drink here. I love lemon and lime flavored drinks. So, I thought I would share the link back to my recipe for limoncello. It is so delicious!
I have an appetizer I love to make because it is yummy, inexpensive, easy to make AND not the same ole same ole.
Honey Nut Goat Cheese Balls
Ingredients:
4 ounces medium-firm fresh goat cheese
1⁄2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
Honey for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
Honey for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Using a melon baller, scoop out rounds of goat cheese and form into balls with your hands.
Roll the balls in the chopped peanuts until completely covered. Drizzle balls lightly with honey and sprinkle with a little pepper. Serve with toothpicks.

Sadly I had to use a photo from the Deen Brothers site. I have the norovirus and even though I had every intention of scraping together the energy to make them, I was informed that no one was interested in eating anything I made while I am sick. This is a really bad virus so I can't say I blame them. Since the ingredients are on hand and I am having company this week I plan to share a picture of mine in an update. I have photographed them before and it was much prettier than the Deen boys' photographer did but I can't find the pic :/ The virus would also be why Pearl is welcoming you at the door and not me.
I am sure your appetite is building so let's head over to my dear friend Alison's over in Spain. She's serving us Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad. Pace yourselves though you have a lot of foods to enjoy at this party.
I'm so glad that Deb is all settled in her new house in Arizona. She's put all those special touches on it that make it hers and Doug's.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you're not well,Beverly....and at party time as well!!

ReplyDeleteThese appetisers sounds fabulous, I will definitely be trying them!
Sorry you're poorly, Beverly. Norovirus is no fun - I hope you are well soon.

I'll wash my own glass and give Pearl some fuss before I go - take care and rest up, I'm sure you'll soon be better! X
Sorry to hear you're unwell Beverly...hope you still manage to enjoy the party. have 'pinned' the recipe-sounds right up my street!
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
So sorry to hear about your illness. It doesn't sound pleasant at all. These appetizers, however, look delicious, and I'm always in the search for something new and different. These look perfect!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am really LOL-ing now ... I nearly contacted you and Rinda to see what drinks you would serve, but took a guess that the gorgeous Limoncello would make an appearance - and it did ... I don't think I am going to make it far on this blog hop ... I'll be stuck with these drinks ... got a spare bed?!
ReplyDeleteWell now I'm practically tipsy. What fun. Nice meeting you.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I do hope you are well on the road to recovery now. Pearl was a very welcome sight though - a beautiful cat x
