Sometimes the tastiest discoveries come from plans going awry. Such was the case with our Christmas Day, when I first concocted this Baked Brie with Ginger and Pear recipe.
When Christmas Day goes awry, make a hot cheese dish!
Our plan had been to join the Christmas Day festivities at sisters, but the flu got the better of our mom, transitioning Christmas into a quiet day for mom and I, of just the two of us and our furry family members.
I knew mom was not feeling much like eating, but to add a little festive atmosphere into our day, I decided to make up a little Christmas luncheon board of goodies that I hoped she may just eat or would at least put a smile on her face.
Our Christmas Luncheon Board of Goodies
Our little makeshift Christmas luncheon included:
- Christmas Morning Cranberry Muffins from the Muffin Mania Cookbook
- Mandarin Orange Muffins from SideChef.com
- Baked Brie with Ginger and Pear (recipe below)
- Baked Blue Cheese with Honey and Walnuts (recipe in this blog post)
- Beet Humous (with some minor modifications) from Canadian Living Magazine‘s January / February 2020 issue
- Potato Scallion Bread from The Village Bakery in Dundas, Ontario
- White Stilton with Apricots
- Sliced Apples and Pears
Simple, tasty, and gave mom and I that healthy, festive treat that we were both craving.
