TUESDAY

Todd:

My favorite recipe is when I buy Marnica’s cranberry sauce.

It IS the best cranberry sauce EVER. [and no I don’t work for them].

Here’s a page where their info is located. Worth shipping to NY, really. You need to buy some. You will thank me. And them.

Really.

Mushroom Port Crostini

Mixed mushrooms, sliced
Port
Cream (35% or 18%)
Butter
Olive Oil
Baguette

Sautée sliced mushrooms (button, pleurote, shittake, whatever you have on hand) in butter and olive oil over high heat. When mushrooms have browned, deglaze the pan with some good port. Add cream and reduce until thick and creamy. Season with black pepper and sea salt. Serve over slices of well toated baguette.

Yummy! My boyfriend made this the other night as a snack, and it was great.
