CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATS TO LAURA ANDERSON!
Years ago, my husband and I had a really bad Valentines dinner experience. My daughter was a toddler at the time and having a babysitter was an occasional treat. We made our dinner reservations at 8pm thinking we could get to the restaurant early and have a drink at the bar. We arrived at the restaurant and sat at the bar much longer than expected. We were seated for dinner hours later and it was 10:30 when our main course still hadn’t been served. We finally had our meals packed up so we could be home to our babysitter by 11pm. After that experience, I vowed never to eat dinner out on Valentine’s Day again. To this day, I have stuck by my vow.
Since Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday this year, I figure we will have an early family dinner with the kids. I will make some light appetizers and have some wine with the hubby later. Recently Wasa sent me a bunch of their product to try and I knew exactly what to make. Their thin and crispy flat breads are the perfect vehicle to serve a pâté on. Since we are not big liver fans, I am going with a mushroom pâté flavored with a little Blue cheese. Wasa’s Rosemary Flat Bread is the perfect pairing with mushrooms. When I make sauteed mushrooms, I always add herbs and Rosemary is one of my favorites. This pâté with Rosemary flat bread is addicting! It is also the perfect snack or appetizer with a light crisp wine.
The wonderful people at WASA are offering one of my readers a delicious giveaway. So you can try a variety of these crispbreads too. One winner will get the following :
