What Healthy Means To Me with Healthy Choice
This post brought to you by Healthy Choice.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit the Healthy Choice headquarters and find out just what healthy means to them. I met with Chef Jackie who is part of a team that creates all of the Healthy Choice meals you’ll find in your grocers freezer section.
We talked about how Healthy Choice considers people with dietary restrictions and different health concerns when creating their meals, just as I do at home when creating recipes for the blog.
Little Leopard Book Turns 3!
For the first time in almost 2 years I’m blogging on Little Leopard Book about something other than food, I’m actually blogging about blogging!
Today, I’m celebrating the 3 year blogoversary of Little Leopard Book. It was three years ago today that I was sitting on my couch in LA, when I opened my laptop and wrote this first post.
A three sentence post, that began a journey that has changed my life forever.
Grilled Oysters
After reviewing the delicious Brunch at Bailiwick, I knew I had to return for my next “Chef Inspired Dish” segment with Chef Konstantin Plavnik!
Instead of brunch, we decided to re-create their most popular happy hour and dinner menu item, the Grilled Oysters with Thyme, Sake, Jalapeño Brown Butter.
Ingredients
- 6 large oysters
- 2 tbsp sake
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1/2 jalapeño (de-seeded & minced)
- 4 slivers manchego cheese
Begin by shucking the oysters.
Add the sake to a small skillet over medium heat, cook until the sake begins to bubble then remove from the heat.
In a separate pan, add the butter and melt. Add the thyme and jalapeños. Brown the butter for 2 minutes. Bring the sake back up to a boil, then add the butter.
Place the oysters on a grill over high heat. Spoon the sauce over the oysters, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Don’t worry if they catch a little flame, that’s supposed to happen 🙂
Add the cheese on top of the oysters, cover and grill for an additional minute, then remove from the grill and serve.
For my first Grilled Oyster experience, this one was epic!
White Chocolate Wedding Cake Martini
I hosted the dessert course of a Progressive Dinner last weekend and each house had their own signature cocktail. What says signature Whitney and dessert cocktail more than a White Chocolate Wedding Cake Martini. Check out my latest video on how to make your own!
Here’s a little shot of the drink in action at the party!
Salud!
