Thank you to all the folks who have signed up for the Candlelight Nights this year.  We have had a great turnout for these events and, as promised, here are the recipes for the first and second Candlelight Nights:

Candlelight Night 12.01.16 Menu

Chicken Pesto Pinwheels 
This recipe was adapted from a recipe I found on Pinterest.

1 pound of deli chicken breast 
1 8oz. package of softened cream cheese
1 jar of pesto 
8 oz shredded parmesean
10 tortillas (we used spinach) 

Mix the cream cheese, pesto and parmesean cheese together and spread onto your tortillas and top the mixture with the chicken slices.  Roll up your tortillas, slice and serve.  

Poutine
Love this recipe and it is super simple to do at home! 

Bag of french fries cooked according to the package instructions
Hot Gravy
Yancey's Fancy cheese curds

Serve fries topped with gravy and cheese curds.  Enjoy!

Cannellini Bean Dip 
2 cans of Cannellini Beans, drained
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of garlic slivered
2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp pesto 
1 container of grape tomatoes halved
1/2 tspn red pepper flakes
salt & pepper to taste

Lay out the halved tomatoes and garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  I added salt and pepper to the top of the tomatoes as well.  Roast the tomatoes and garlic in the oven for 15 minutes at 375 degrees until tomatoes are blistered. Puree the beans, olive oil, tahini, pesto & garlic together until smooth.  Mix in the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with crusty bread or pita chips.  

Cranberry Corot Noir & Brie Bites
1 package of crescent roll dough
Jam of your choice, we used Deer Run Winery's Cranberry Corot Noir Jam
1 package of brie cut into small squares

Unwrap the dough and cut the dough sheet into 16 triangles.  add a small dollop of jam and top with brie.  Fold the edges of the triangle up and seal as best as you can with your fingers.  Bake in the oven at 375 for about 12-13 minutes.  

Candlelight Night #2 12.08.2016

1lb of pork sausage 
1/2 cup scallions chopped
1/2 cup Via Ferrata
1/2 cup of gruyere cheese grated
3 cloves of garlic diced
2 cups of panko bread crumbs

2 eggs

Remove the stems from the musrooms.  Dice the stems  and set aside.
Brown the sausage in a pan, add chopped scallions, diced stems and garlic.  Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of Via Ferrata. Remove pan from heat.  Add panko bread crumbs & 2 eggs to the pork.  Fill the mushroom caps with the pork mixture and arrange on a baking sheet.  Cook at 350 for 25 minutes, add shredded gruyere to the tops of the mushrooms and bake for an additional 10 minutes.  Serve with Via Ferrata.

In a bowl mix 1/4 cup of cilantro, with scallions, Cilcismo, lime juice, olive oil, queso fresco, salt and pepper to taste with the shrimp. 
Pipe the guacamole onto the trotilla chips and top with a shrimp.  Serve immediately alongside a glass of Ciclismo!
