Aperol Spritz

 I recently shared this cocktail on Fox 11's Good Day Wisconsin. 


- Ice

- Prosecco (extra dry)

- Aperol- Seltzer

- Orange slices and/or olives


Fill a wine glass (or tumbler/collins glass) with ice. Add 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol and 1 part seltzer. Give it a little stir and add an orange slice in the drink and an olive on the side. Enjoy!  


Smoked Salmon Crostini

I recently shared this yummy appetizer on Fox 11's Good Day Wisconsin. 


- Small package of smoked salmon

- Loaf of crusty bread (artisan, baguette)

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1/3 cup softened cream cheese

- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 tbsp horseradish sauce

- Salt and pepper

- Chives and capers (optional garnish)


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the bread into 1/4 inch thick slices with a serrated knife and place on a cookie sheet. Brush with olive oil and place in the oven for 10 minutes. 

While the bread is toasting, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, lemon juice and horseradish sauce and salt and pepper with a mixer or food processor. 


Once the bread is toasted, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Spread the cream topping on a piece of bread, add a slice of salmon, and garnish with chives and capers.
