Prosciutto Cups with Pear and Goat Cheese

December 3, 2018 By Shannah 27 Comments

Prosciutto cups with pears and goat cheese are the perfect easy party appetizer! This one bite appetizer is so perfect because it combines salty, savory and sweet flavors into one delicious little bite.

Every party needs an delicious one bite appetizer that the host can easily make in advance but also stands the test of the hours long it sits during a party. Prosciutto cups with pear and goat cheese are perfect for parties because much of the prep can be done 1-2 days ahead.

While they can survive a few hours on the party table, you won’t need to worry about that because they will totally disappear once people try them.

Busy moms and dads can use all the meal planning help they can find. That is one of the reasons I started this whole What to Cook Wednesday series. It allows me to find new recipes to feed my family AND provides some menu planning help to my readers. Win win in my mind!

So, since it is mid-week and what to cook is probably on your mind, let’s get started!

Sunday: Let’s start off our week with a delicious meal of creamy polenta and chorizo. Throw in some roasted green beans and we have one delicious meal.

Monday: Mondays are always busy as we get thrust back into the work/school week after the weekend. Ginger, garlic and chili shrimp are perfect for these kinds of night because it cooks up so fast.

Weekly Menu: What to Cook Wednesday #100

May 15, 2013 By Shannah 1 Comment

Happy Wednesday!

I love that our Wednesdays here on the blog are filled with delicious recipes. Putting together a weekly menu is so much easier when you can find inspiration all around blog land. One of my favorite parts of the week is looking through all of the recipes I find and narrowing them down into a menu for the week. I guess that is how this little What to Cook Wednesday series has made it to 100!

Let’s see what the 100th edition brings us in terms of food…

Sunday: You can add prosciutto to just about anything and I am happy. That probably a big reason why chicken with prosciutto, argula and fontina caught my eye.

Monday: We don’t traditionally do pasta on Mondays but, as a meatless option, I fell in love with the idea of lemony spinach and goat cheese linguine.
