Weekend Eats (Appetizer food)

Happy Sunday everyone!

Another weekend is over. 

One more week and we will see if the lockdown will be over.

...Or extended.

How did your weekend go?

For us, well..

Like always, Food is probably the highlight.

We decided to have Finger food/Appetizer food kind of weekend!

I love it when we do this. 

Perfect for drinking days and movie days!

Our favorite Cheese board.

Last Christmas I bought a bigger Cheese board. 

Hubby wasn't home that time so I decided to make some again.

He helped me make it and it was such a fun time!

There is so many inspiration in Pinterest, Google if you are looking for one. 

I love how it makes you creative with these boards. 

Then, I also made a few dish to add. 

This awesome Crostini was so good.

We never had one with Pesto so I thought this was very interesting.

It was soo good!

         3  Mix together tomatoes and parsley and spoon onto toasts. 

         4. Optional: breads can be eaten cold or heated in the oven for about 5 minutes to warm      

          ingredients.

And of course, You have to have some dip for Appetizer day. 

I have mangoes in the fridge all the time now so this is the easiest one to make.

So good guys, It did not disappoint.

So easy to make!!!

Mango Salsa

Ingredients:

• 2 Mangos, diced (ripe)
• 1/2 small Red Onion, diced
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 1 Jalapeño, de-seeded and membranes removed, diced
• 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, diced
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• juice from one Lime, (small)

Directions:

1. Combine the mango, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño and cilantro in a medium size bowl.
2. Sprinkle with salt, and the lime juice. (start with juice from 1/2 a lime first, then taste and add more lime juice as desired).
3. Stir to combine.
4. Allow the salsa to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to serving, this gives time for the flavors to blend and the fruit and peppers to soften in the lime juice.
5. Store covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These are also perfect for days when you have friends at home.

It was such an amazing dinner. 

Hubby definitely has the best ideas ever. 

Let me know if you tried it!!!
