Fig & Walnut Wild Rice Dressing

Nikki — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:46:50 +0000

Probably one of the most difficult parts of planning a holiday meal are the side dishes. So many options but choosing what goes with what is challenging. The following recipe is pretty diverse and can be paired with many other dishes. Fig Walnut Wild Rice Dressing is a combination of two nutty rice blends with the sweetness of dried fruit. Another great recipe that can be made 2 days ahead.

Mini Sausage Stuffing Tarts

Nikki — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 19:46:10 +0000

For the next two days, I will be giving a few healthy, holiday recipes. One for appetizer, main dish, side, and dessert. Please feel free to share any favorites that you might have. My first appetizer recipe is a popular family one and the best part is it can be made in advance and baked when needed. I love when the prep work can be done ahead of time especially when hosting a holiday. It’s hard to be in the kitchen the whole night when you want to enjoy your company. Check out the recipe in the link below… if you are short on time, you can purchase pie crust in your local grocery store instead of making it homemade.
