I just got back from my very short trip in Chicago and am happy to have brought back a few amazing recipes from chef Gale Gand to share with you all. Today I wanted to share a few fun and entertaining ideas to help you on your next celebration. After all Labor Day is only a few days away.
Given the fact that my schedule has gone from 0-60 in the last few months, I have less time to prepare things or plan ahead so these recipes are perfect for busy individuals like myself. These ideas are easy, delicious and did I mention they're... EASY!! The first recipe is a delicious appetizer, Pea + Garlic dip served with thinly sliced London broil served on a crostini. This is the perfect little 'meal' for a girls night in while the kids are at grannies or to simply serve as a starter in your next family gathering.
