Veggie Annie's Skillet: Extremely Last Minute Food Gifts Made with Easy Groceries
Unusually delicious, quick-and-easy meat / vegetarian / vegan recipes for everyone.
For our little family, today is Christmas Eve, and if you celebrate it, you might be looking for one or two things to whip together today to give or eat tomorrow. If you celebrate Hanukkah, you might be looking for some lovely treats for the upcoming festive days. Or maybe you’ll visit friends or relatives in the Week Between the Years, and would like to take a small offering that’s not a bottle of wine. No worries - I’ve got you! Free subscribers get my very classic and delicious Molives (posted annually around this time!), and paid subscribers get a brand new set of DELIGHTFUL treats - Three Fancy Nut Butters.
Molives (Martin’s Mother’s Marvelous Mexican Olives)
Molives are a famous treat in the Veggie Annie universe - green olives marinated in lime juice and garlic - and are beloved for their out-of-the-ordinary taste AND for their extreme ease of prep. Try one in a martini, or on a cheese board. Or just eat them!
Almond Latte Crunch Almond Butter
Spicy Thai Peanut Butter
Gingerbread Pecan Almond Butter
Ok, so the Fancy Nut Butters involve peanut or almond butter, plus some ingredients you either have or can grab in a very quick trip to the store, and containers. I had a bunch of 6 ounce glass jars lying around (oh, the catering supplies I have lying around!) or you can get larger or smaller glass or plastic containers. If you add a loaf of bread or a basket of apples (apple slices plus Fancy Nut Butters are the stuff of my SNACK DREAMS) to one or all three of these jars as a gift, you will not regret it! You can also stuff pitted Medjool dates with any of these for some very Amazing Dates.
Happy Holidays, darling cooks!
See you in the kitchen!
Love and Kisses,
Veggie Annie
