Appetizer: Baked Crab Dip with Crostini

Baked Crab Dip with Crostini
If you’d like, you can mix this dip ahead of time and stash it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it!
Ingredients:
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayo
1 cup shredded Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
6 ounce can of crab meat, drained
2 teaspoons Old Bay or seafood seasoning
1 thin French baguette
3 TB olive oil
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-In a medium bowl, gently fold all ingredients together, and place in a greased 8x8 casserole or pan.
-Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until hot & bubbly.
-While crab dip is baking, prepare the crostini! Thinly slice the baguette and place on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until crispy and light brown.
-Serve crab dip with crostini
Roasted Salmon, Herbed Fingerling Potatoes and Broccoli Almondine
Roasted Salmon
Roasted Salmon is on the lighter side, but is packed full of flavor!
Ingredients:
2 6-ounce salmon fillets
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ ground black pepper
2 lemon slices
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 425 degrees
-Place salmon fillets on a greased baking pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut each lemon slice in half, and place two halves on each salmon fillet.
-Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Herbed Fingerling Potatoes
If you can’t find fingerling potatoes, you can substitute small new or red potatoes.
Ingredients:
1 pound fingerling potatoes, washed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
Directions
-Place fingerling potatoes in a large pot, and cover with water, about one inch above the potatoes.
-Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, stir, and reduce to medium-high heat. Cook for 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
-Drain potatoes, and place in a large bowl.
-Add remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
Herbed Fingerling Potatoes
Here’s a twist on the classic dish, Green Bean Almondine. Broccoli is substituted for the green beans, and pairs perfectly with the toasted almonds.
Ingredients:
½ pound broccoli, cut into florets
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
-In a large pot, cook broccoli in a steamer basket, over a half inch of water, until stalks are tender. Drain.
-Over medium heat, melt butter. Add in almonds, and cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
-Turn off heat, and add broccoli, lemon juice and salt to butter & almond mixture.
-Stir to combine, and serve.
White Chocolate Fondue
Rich white chocolate, sumptuous juicy fruits, and sharing a dessert with your partner ... Need I say more?

½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup butter
1 12-ounce package of white chocolate chips
Assorted fruits, pretzels and pound cake (for dipping)
