MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY

WITH NO COMMENTS
Make ahead-gravy takes a little time, but most of that time is inactive. You can make it in one day, but I prefer to make gravy a two-day process. You make the stock the first day, refrigerate it, make the gravy the second day and then pack it up in the freezer until Thanksgiving day. You can make your gravy a day before Thanksgiving or a month before. Either way making your gravy ahead of time will make serving Thanksgiving dinner so much easier and more enjoyable.

WATERMELON, FETA AND TOMATO KABOBS

These skewers are perfect no-cook, super-easy summer appetizers. I have not included ingredient amounts as the recipe can be created for just a couple people or increased for a large bash. Just remember one watermelon square, one cube feta, one cherry tomato, one basil leaf and one mint leaf per skewer. Time to prepare depends on how many skewers you are making.

A twist on traditional Nicoise Salad, this dish uses lightly seared ahi instead of canned tuna and oven-roasted potatoes and beans instead of boiled potatoes and steamed beans. The result is a salad for dinner that is suitable for either a weeknight meal or casual entertaining.
