Beet, Avocado and Fried Goat Cheese Salad | foodiecrush.com

Beet, Avocado and Fried Goat Cheese Salad

Creamy avocado, earthy beets and crispy fried goat cheese make up this delicious, leafless salad that’s drizzled with a shallot and white balsamic dressing and topped with delicate micro greens.

If you’re a parent, you know the feeling when you hear someone else is having a baby.

Smiles. There’s always lots of smiles. And hugs. Hugs all around.

And then there’s that 10 second shock from nerve endings going on high alert with your own memories of nervousness, wonderment and anxiety about whether or not you’re ready—or capable—to bring a little bootied being into the world. If you’re a woman, there’s also the little nick in the back of your brain of whether you’ll be able to weather the delivery room drama.

Just as quickly, anxiety gives way to the feeling of excitement as the memories of the first time you nuzzled your own little munchkin in that spot of his or her neck, right behind the ear, breathing in that special scent that only newborns possess.

Love seeps its way into your bloodstream and, suddenly, whether you wanted it, craved it or were apathetic about it, you’re now a parent.

And this baby is all yours.

Today, this recipe is in celebration of a dear friend who is having her own baby. It’s a virtual baby shower for Erin, of Naturally Ella.

A new year calls for new tips in simplicity, especially in the kitchen.


Cranberry Baklava Cups

Sometimes I’m a short-cut kinda gal, which makes for some interesting cooking challenges.

Because who wants to feel overwhelmed and overwrought at the mere thought of inviting friends over to enjoy some cheer in the new year? I say, bring the friends! But cut the complexity out of the cooking and let’s make an easy take on a classic fave.

Let’s pave the way for more merry making and party partaking.

Beet, Carrot and Pomegranate Salad

Winter brings with it a lot of amazing things. Snowflakes and holiday parties with sparkly shoes are some of the best. Puffy coats that make me feel like Randy in A Christmas Story thanks to ridiculously cold sub-zero temps, not so much. Those freezing temps? They can go find somewhere else to invade while I go shopping for something basic to go with my gold flecked shoes. Or maybe I’ll just wear this Beet, Carrot and Pomegranate Salad. I mean, it’s prettier and more jeweled up than anything I have in my closet.

While I’m snacking a nibble or 83 of cookies, fudge and a waffle here and there, I’m still craving salads in this frigid cold to bring me out of my sugar coma. I crave lettuce-ed leafed salads all summer long but when winter nips the freshness off the local lettuce buds, veggies with girth are what I look for now.

At a recent foray to our winter farmer’s market, I saw these beet beauties carats of carrots and scooped them straight up. Candy striped beets, carrots of red, yellow and purple’d pinks. These things needed a stage, and I knew exactly what to do with them.

  • Why go same-same when you could go ho-ho-holiday and create a festive and creative Christmas themed appetizer?!? I made this antipasto Christmas wreath for a holiday party 4 years ago and was reminded of it when I saw @delallofoods Antipasti Holiday Wreath contest where (3) lucky winners will receive $200 worth of DeLallo product. Since I partner with them on recipes here and on the blog I prob can't win but still tagging @delallofoods #DeLalloEats & #contest just in case I can! Contest ends Dec. 17 so be like me and go back to the Xmas time machine or make a new antipasto wreath for your weekend party and enter too. More info at @delallofoods #ad
  • Here's the easiest way to add a twist to serving salad + antipasti to your party people—give it to them served up on a platter. Half appetizer, half first course, it's one complete dish where everyone can dig in and fend for that last artichoke heart or blue cheese stuffed olive for themselves. Link in bio, just search "antipasto".
  • Literally punch drunk in love. Bubbly champagne, pom juice, OJ and a Grand Marnier floater with holiday flave DIY frozen ice cubes met and married to become the party favorite. Can I get a yes I'll have another, please fill up my cup? And for all the non-boozey party people, it can easily be made non-alcoholic too.

  • It’s a proven fact that everyone at the party loves a cheese board. It’s the centerpiece of nibbles and bites and small talk to break the party ice. But when you add a little heat to make a bubbly, oozey brie cheese dip, the party vibe definitely ratchets up a notch. This one's topped with cranberries, pecans, fig jam and thyme and IT'S SO DANG EASY! Recipe link in my profile https://www.foodiecrush.com/easy-baked-brie-recipe/

  • This chicken cacciatore is literally fall off the bone tender. It's a humble chicken in an amazing sauce from @skinnytaste ‘s Fast & Slow cookbook that somehow doesn't call for any special ingredients to get it's amazing taste. And since t's cooked in the slow cooker, you can prep it then pop it in the cooker and go about your day, or make and serve for Christmas Eve.

  • Each and every Christmas morning of of my 29+ years 😂, I’ve had this cheesy ham, egg and bread casserole we assemble the night before and then bake on Christmas morn. It's so special that it only appears on Christmas morning, and not any other time of year because it is in all it's glory, just that special.
