Creamy Onion Soup #MoscatoDay

Creamy Onion Soup
Creamy Onion Soup
Creamy Onion Soup is a favorite of mine. I usually make it with white wine but I kicked it up a notch with White Moscato for #MoscatoDay!
I prefer this type of onion soup to traditional beef based broth kinds. There is something about a creamy, soup texture I really enjoy. The sweetness of Moscato enhances the onion’s natural sweetness without overpowering it.
A great start to a Moscato meal if you ask me!
How are you celebrating #MoscatoDay? If dessert is more to your liking, I have a Peach and Apricot Cake you might enjoy!
Maybe a little dried fruit that was soaked in Moscato, cheese and crackers for an evening snack?

A quick confession: I prefer Pink Moscato for drinking, white for cooking and red for sauces! White blends well with poultry and seafood marinades, pasta dishes and desserts. I find pink to be enjoyable with light meals and for sipping as an after dinner treat. Red makes great sauces. It especially tastes great reduced to a syrup and drizzled over chocolate cake or ice cream. Even waffles!
Happy Moscato Day!

Smoked Trout Canapes #Gluten Free #RecipeReDux

Smoked Trout Canopies #Gluten Free

“I received free samples of Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic from Dare Foods Incorporated mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Dare Foods Incorporated and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.”

To honor Celiac Disease Awareness Month, Dare Foods invited members of The Recipe ReDux to create tempting gluten free recipes using their delicious gluten free cracker varieties – Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic.
Breton Gluten Free

recipe redux

If you or someone in your family benefits from a gluten free diet these crackers are a perfect accompaniment to any meal. You don’t need to be gluten intolerant to appreciate these crackers.
I sampled both the Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic crackers and found both to be delicious! I’m a cracker snacker. I like nothing better than a small plate of crackers, cheese, fruit and a beverage. So I don’t hesitate to serve crackers to guests.
Recently a friend gave me some home smoked trout. I used to work in a deli years ago where we sold smoked fish. Salmon, sable, herring, whitefish, carp; all these fish take on a different flavor when smoked. You can make great canapes by adding a little flavored Neufchâtel cheese or regular cream cheese. Top an already great tasting cracker like Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax or Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic and you will have a surefire party hit!
