I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Marinated Goat Cheese Appetizer

Looking for an appetizer for Canadian Thanksgiving ?


Ingredients:

8 oz (300 g) goat cheese log
2-4 tbsps olive oil
1/4 tsp zest of lemon
some fresh basil, parsley and thyme
a pinch of red pepper flakes
ground pink Himalayan salt and black pepper to taste

Place the goat's cheese in a dish. One the length of the cheese log would be nice, but I had to cut mine in half to fit my dish..no matter.

Spoon a couple of tablespoons olive oil over the cheese then add julienned basil (purple if you have it) and parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Tuck in a sprig or two of fresh thyme. Drizzle some more olive oil over all and add some salt and pepper to taste.


Ok, I think it's pretty!

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Then remove from fridge about 1 hour and serve with a fresh sliced baguette, rusk toasts or crackers.
