Fermented black garlic appetizers

I picked up some havarti cheese and we made some fermented black garlic appetizers as pictured above. You can also see the black cloves in the head of garlic.  They were delicious, the garlic has a milder taste, slightly sweet and of course cheese is always good.

A new appetizer

Gouda stuffed bacon wrapped dates

It may not look like much from the photo, but daughter L's friend made these delicious appetizers for a party and we got to try some. They are called gouda stuffed bacon wrapped dates. L said her friend just made a cut in the date, stuffed it with a small cube of gouda, wrapped a slice of bacon around it, fastened it with a toothpick, and baked it in the oven until the bacon was done. It has a delicious, salty sweetness. I had to have two!

This might be perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
