Whipped Feta

This weekend was a pretty darn good one!  One of my closest friends was in Chicago this weekend, I played host at home for the first time at home, and I made some great appetizers, one of which I am sharing today.  I am not sure about you, but I LOVE all kinds of cheese, anything from cheese wiz all the way to the fancy cheeses.  As I was trying to find some appetizer inspiration, I stumbled across a blog with an entry titled “whipped feta” – I was hooked.  This is one of the easiest things you can do and packs a lot of flavor.  I spread the whipped feta on some toasted garlic bread, roasted some Campari tomatoes with olive oil, 3 garlic cloves and topped it off with a little fresh basil…yummy!

Labor Day weekend in Chicago means the Jazz Festival is in town (and summer is coming to an end). There is nothing more fun than sitting on a lawn with friends, drinking some wine, listening to Jazz, and enjoying some great food.  I saw this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago and have wanted to try it out, but knew I needed an occasion when multiple people would help me eat it (great for a party).  I just love how the little bit of heat mixes will the cool coleslaw and the sweetness of the Kings Hawaiian bun.  It is finger licking good!
