March was my month to host. Of course I took the opportunity to try out some new recipes!
I made grilled eggplant with Italian style tomatoes, tortellini skewers with pesto dipping sauce, and pizza monkey bread. These were all new recipes I found via pinterest. (Follow me here!)
Each recipe was slightly adjusted from the original, and here's what I did:
Grilled Eggplant
(Idea from Laylita's Recipes)
Slice up your eggplant and toss with some oil, salt and pepper. Then I used my trusty old George Foreman grill to grill the eggplant slices. (Shhhhh, don't tell anyone- I used canned diced tomatoes that were already seasoned with garlic, oregano, and basil.) There's nothing wrong with shortcuts in my book! ;) Then I sprinkled each appetizer with Parmesan cheese.
Pizza Monkey Bread
(Idea from Confections of a Foodie Bride)
I pretty much followed her directions, except I left out the pepperoni. (Did you notice all of my recipes are meatless? One of my besties is vegetarian!)
This turned out SO WELL! I highly recommend it.
This is before it went in the oven....
And this is after it came out of the oven....
After I flipped it onto the plate... ta da!
Tortellini Skewers
This was the simplest of my recipes, but made a great presentation. And who doesn't love cheese-filled tortellini?
I boiled the tortellini, stuck them on some skewers, and cracked open a jar of pesto sauce. (You didn't think I actually made the pesto sauce, did you?)
Thanks Holly...now I'm hungry!
