My day off is Monday, so yesterday John and I decided to celebrate National Cheese Day! [Yep, it's a thing.] A little while ago, John sent me an email that had "32 Ways to Celebrate Cheese Day" so we picked the three things that looked the most delicious and made them! It was super fun going to the store and picking out all of the ingredients and then taking over Russ and Linda's kitchen to create cheesy delectables.
We went to WinCo to get everything that we needed for the recipes.
Our cheese shopping list was as follows:
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan
- Gorgonzola
- Brie
- Ricotta
- Dubliner
The three recipes that we picked were:
We also made Brazilian Lemonade to drink. I have made this drink before and I got the recipe from my best friend Molly. It has nothing to do with cheese day, but it is delicious!
Here is how everything turned out...
Caprese Salad
Quattro Formaggi Flatbread
Nutella Brie Bites
Brazilian Lemonade
All of these recipes are definitely repeats. We used whole wheat flour for the flatbread so it was on the healthier side and the Nutella Brie Bites were a perfect combination of chocolate and cheese. Delectable! We also bought some Dill Sea Salt and Olive Oil Triscuits to have with each of the cheeses. The Dubliner is an Irish sweet sharp cheddar cheese. It was so delicious and is definitely a new favorite cheese of mine.
Thanks to Russ and Linda for letting us take over the kitchen and also thanks to those two, Bonnie, and Ish for being our taste testers. It was a fun day! I can't wait until next year!
