White Wine Spritzer

Stacy from Bricks n’ Blooms prepared 3 different white wine spritzers that all pair perfectly with your favorite charcuterie board fixings.

Doesn’t this look so refreshing? Spritzers are one of the easiest co*cktails to make, so if you’re looking for a no-fuss co*cktail, be sure to check out all of Stacy’s recipes.

Green Chili Cheese Fudge

This appetizer recipe for green chili cheese fudge is courtesy of Michele at Vintage Home Designs.

Of course, this appetizer doesn’t contain any chocolate at all. Instead, these pieces of “fudge” are made with a blend of spices and loads of cheesy goodness!

I’m pretty sure I could live on cheese, and I can’t wait to try this unique holiday recipe.

Bacon Onion and Cheese Tart

This month I was in charge of the main dish and prepared a mouthwatering bacon onion and cheese tart.

A cross between pizza and quiche, this flaky tart recipe is heaven for your tastebuds. Topped with crispy bacon, onion, and a creamy white cheese sauce, it’s the perfect cozy winter dish for dinner or even breakfast or brunch.

Roasted Pear Winter Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette

If you love salad, you’re guaranteed to love this delicious-looking roasted pear winter salad with champagne vinaigrette from Anne and AnnMarie at Simply 2 Moms.

Topped with roasted pears and savory sweet potatoes, this salad also includes goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and a champagne vinaigrette.

And, if you’d like, you can add tender strips of your favorite grilled protein to make a complete meal.

Charcuterie Chrismas Tree

How fun and festive is this charcuterie Christmas tree from Heidi at Eleanor Rose Home? It’s perfect for a wine and cheese party!

And the best part is, that each board can be personalized with your favorite meats, cheeses, fruits, and veggies.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Fudge

I love anything with chocolate and can’t wait to try Rachel at The Ponds Farmhouse‘s recipe for dark chocolate raspberry fudge.

It’s easy to make and pairs perfectly with a good glass of red wine. Yum!
