Strawberry Champagne Trifle

Strawberry and Champagne are a classic combination.  Add pastry cream, ladyfingers and whipped cream for an incredible dessert.

Strawberry Champagne Trifle. Yum!

The trifle should be made the day before you plan to serve it. This allows the flavors to come together for a fantastic dessert! I used prosecco in place of champagne, but you decide!

Tapas and Cocktails…This will be the best New Year Yet!

New Year’s Eve is the perfect holiday to plan a fun, relaxing tapas party. I love the small bites coupled with a great glass of wine or champagne. The informality of this type of get together lends itself to a flexible time schedule, and encourages your guests to mingle and have fun.

How To Serve Caviar

Caviar.

Need I say more?

I have heard caviar referred to as food for the gods. Does that peak your interest?
If you are looking to host a fancy New Year’s Eve Cocktail Party, then caviar should be the first item on the menu.

The purest caviar is believed to be sourced from the eggs of the Sturgeon Beluga, which are very rare and have resulted in high prices for caviar. Many other types of caviar have to come to rival the Russian Sturgeon Beluga. This New Year’s Eve I will be serving the Farm-Raised Ossetra Caviar Malossol. R&S Meat Market carries this delicious caviar with a buttery taste, brought to us from D’Artagnan. This Ossetra Caviar is harvested from the Siberian Sturgeon under humane and sustainable farming conditions in the Aquitaine region of France.
