I know I am a week late! Everyone else with a food blog and that idea has done it already. But I will do a show and tell of our New Year’s family amazing pot-luck spread. I am salivating just at the thought of my first bites! Can you guess what I made? I brought 2 dishes. Enjoy!
Starting with the meal…
The Whole Spread
Orzo Salad with red onions, green peppers, cilantro and pomegranate seeds
Pita Egg Salad Sandwiches
Mustard Seed Sausage
Sauteed Shrimps with a Beet Ginger Dip
Tourtière - traditional Québecois meat pie
Feta and Cranberry Tortilla Rolls
Artichoke Quiche Squares
Beet and Apple Salad
Next of course are the many desserts…
Crisspak
This dessert may not be the most impressive visually but its a tradition in my family and so good!
Inside the Crisspak
It’s basically chocolate wafer thin cookies layered with whip cream.
You make it a day ahead so the wafers soften.
I know of no one else who makes this, not even sure about the spelling of the name.
Sugar Pie
Macarons
A Fruit Salad fit for foodies
Fruit Cake, of course!
And as a nibbling finally…
A lovely cheese platter
Some of you were right….I made the:
– Orzo Salad with red onions, green peppers, cilantro and pomegranate seeds
– Artichoke Quiche Squares
Yowsa!!! I want most of those things right now!
Wow you guys really go all out on NYE!
I’m gonna guess that you made the macarons, aaaand…. the quiche?
Amazing pictures Évelyne! Worth of first class cookbooks! To the other readers, I can assure you that the food was as good as it looks … I was there.
This looks great Evelyne… can I be an honourary member of your family? I clean up after myself and don’t have any weird habits. I think.
I can’t guess what you made! I do like the look of the beet dip though, would like to try the feta & cranberry conbination, and the artichoke quiche squares sound tasty. I think I’d have to have at least one piece of everything here. Oh and I love the little gherkin slices on the egg salad pitas! And the pomegranate salad. OK I’ll stop now.
What an amazing spread!!! Happy New Year to you Evelyne and best wishes for 2010.
