Since today is New Years Eve I wanted to do a little Champagne Taste Test. I like to drink a lot of champagne, so I like to go with quantity, thus all of the bottles are less than $15. But, price does not always mean quality.
The Cheap Stuff
Archive for December, 2009
I know I usually have drink recipes on Wednesdays, but this week I decided to make a special drink post on New Years Eve. Thus, today I decided to post one of my favorite sides. Garlic Bread. I love garlic bread. I like it crispy, crunchy and extremely garlicky. Basically I like it so garlicky that it scares off vampires, small animals and unfortunately women. Happens, but you have to choose, garlic or the ladies. In the eternal struggle between Garlic and Ladies, today Garlic won.
Garlic Bread Revisited
Break off a bit and eat with your favorite pasta or pizza.

I love nachos!!! Yep, three exclamation points. Besides being delicious they are quick and easy to make. Take a few tortillas, cover with your favorite ingredients, and then coat with cheese. Melt and serve. Howe easy can that be. My favorite type of Nachos are Chicken Nachos.

Top with some sour cream and you have a great meal.
When I was growing up my Grandma Donna used to make us City Chicken. It was always the best meal of the year. This year we decided to make City Chicken for our Christmas meal. What is City Chicken you ask? Well it is a combination of meat on a stick that appears to look like a chicken leg. The funniest thing, is that there is no chicken in it. Yep, City Chicken is pork and beef.
City Chicken
Serve it with mashed potatoes and all of your favorite sides.
Last year I went to a little diner in New Jersey called Mastoris. They had this amazing cheese bread that I loved. I wanted to recreate it, but unlike a standard cheese danish this had a bread-like texture. It was more bread than danish. So after a little searching online, I think I found the perfect recipe.
Cheese Bread
Serve for breakfast or any time that you want a sweet treat.
Merry Christmas from Savory Reviews. Tucker and I are going to take a break today to celebrate Christmas. For all of you faithful readers, we have a nice little Christmas card for you.
Tucker and Me with Santa. Merry Christmas!
Tucker really didn’t mind the antlers, which I thought was weird. Well, Anything goes with Tucker. We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas. Thanks for reading the blog.
I am continuing with Holiday Appetizer Week. This time we are changing things up a bit. When it comes to bite size food, people usually forget about dessert. Granted most desserts are finger food, but not many are bite size. So I decided to make little bite sized squares of fudge. Fudge is the perfect bite sized finger food. It is small, rich and delicious. Just a little bit of fudge goes a long way. Thus, it is more bang for the buck. The perfect single bite to end an amazing meal.
Homemade Chocolate Fudge
Serve it in paper cupcake cups or just stacked on a plate.
There is no drink that is more in the holiday spirit than egg nog. Today I am going to be making it from scratch. I know you can pick up the pre-made stuff from 7-11 to the pharmacy, but this stuff is 100 times better. I have only had the pre-packaged egg nog till today and the prepackaged stuff does not even compare. I hated the store bought egg nog, actually I was thinking about not even trying to make it. In the end I did and I am completely surprised with the results. I like egg nog. Let me say that again, I love egg nog. Who knew. Granted it takes a few steps to make homemade egg nog, but it is totally worth it. Plus this recipe includes bourbon. The egg nog at the corner store does not have bourbon in it, does it? Take that corner store egg nog, this egg nog is better.
Egg Nog
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
