When it comes to easy entertaining, I love simple finger foods that can be whipped up ahead of time or in mere minutes before guests arrive. Here are my five favorite quick and easy New Year’s Eve appetizers:

Beyond Your Basic Salad
Power Greens Pizza
Putting together a quick salad is easy with Earthbound salad blends. I usually place a couple of containers in my order (especially when they’re on sale!).
So when our friends over at Earthbound Farm suggested that I can make meals beyond my basic salad, I was intrigued. Here are three recipes that are just as easy to make:…

Refreshing Fall Mocktails and Cocktails
Raz-Peary Refresher
One of the fun things about working at FreshDirect is that we get to meet a lot of passionate people.
From farmers to entrepreneurs, there are so many people who love food and we learn a lot from them.
One of these entrepreneurs is Ben Weiss who founded Bai Antioxidant Infusions. These drinks are based on the coffeefruit: the casing that surrounds a coffee bean. He found this out while sourcing coffee. So he started making drinks out of the coffeefruit in his kitchen and then sold them out of the trunk of his car.
We just started carrying these new products in the shop so to celebrate, his team came up with these fun mocktails and cocktails that are perfect to welcome the Fall season….
Elegant Fruit Salads
Elegant Fruit Salads
With picnics, potluck dinners, and BBQs galore this summer, I usually bring a fruit salad.
Fruit salads are easy, healthy, and require no cooking at all (which is perfect when the weather outside is steamy!). You might think that a fruit salad is fairly plain, but when you mix fresh, seasonal fruit with complementary homemade dressings, they become an elegant dish.
I put together a couple of my favorite recipes below. Many of your favorite fruits will work in these recipes. The pièce de résistance is in the dressing….
3 Fun Finds in the Shop!
Challerhocker cheese is one of my favorite hidden gems in the shop!
One of the fun parts about my job is that I often get to taste or hear about interesting products that come into the shop.
The first hidden gem comes from our Cheese market. The Challerhocker is a raw cow’s milk cheese from Switzerland. Its name means “sitting in the cellar” – and the 10 months it has been sitting there lends to its creamy, salty, acidic, buttery and nutty flavors.
It’s perfect to slice up as a snack or to melt gently on your favorite burger. …
3 Different Meal Ideas for our Marinated Roasted Half Chicken
Roast Chicken
With the temperature rising, one way that I beat the heat is order our ready-made Marinated Roasted Half Chicken and microwave it when I’m ready for dinner. (During the hot summer months, the steamy oven is not my friend!)
What I love about roasted chicken is that it’s so versatile that I can make several different dishes with it.
One way is to serve the roasted chicken as is with a nice side dish. Our Facebook fans had some great suggestions (click here to read them all!) including:…
Make Your Own Ice Cream Sandwiches!
DIY Ice Cream Sandwiches
I scream…you scream…we all scream for ice cream!
There’s nothing that screams summer more to me than ice cream! Sweet, creamy, and cold – name a flavor and chances are I’ve tried it!
A fun and easy ice cream dessert that brings me back to childhood is DIY Ice Cream Sandwiches. When I have friends or family over for dinner, I like to set up a whole DIY Ice Cream Sandwich buffet. All it takes is a few pints of your favorite ice cream flavors along with plates filled with cookies.
Here are some ideas for fun flavor combinations:…
