Summer Appetizers & Sweet Days

This is my new favorite appetizer &

it's on the menu:

What is it? 

Endive filled with Honeyed Walnuts, Goat Cheese & Orange segments.

Drizzled with a Balsamic Reduction & sprinkled with Chives.

This week we celebrated a milestone anniversary.

I won't tell you how many years, but let's just say I have now spent half my life loving my fisherman.

And although he offered a vacation, I asked if we could stay home.
So we took a mini vacay right here.

My own pillow to sleep on @ night, fishing right out the door & an easy no-stress menu that worked on the boat or the back porch. 

So I took my new-found appreciation for Endive style wrappers & applied it to Iceberg. 

Iceberg wrapped around Chicken Salad was our lunch one day. I used chicken that had been baked with lemon & goat cheese
stuffed between the chicken breast & skin.
The flavor was fabulous!

Surprisingly easy to eat as finger food & a great choice for warm summer days.

Enjoy!
