Manchego cheese topped with quince paste (also known as Membrillo, thick jelly made of the pulp of the quince fruit). Membrillo can be found at your local Kroger store. The earthy and savory flavor of the cheese paired with the sweet quince paste and almonds for crunch is the perfect bite, plus no cooking required. Cheers to that.

This drink gets sweetness from the blood orange, tartness from grapefruit and lime, light herb flavors from the rosemary simple syrup, and a sparkle party from Prosecco. Don’t skip the citrus wedges in the drink – their bitter skin and pith infuse an extra layer of flavor.

If you can’t get your hands on blood oranges, grab some regular oranges, they will work just great for this combo as well. I mean, anything citrus is my favorite in a cocktail. Just makes everything so refreshing and crisp.

With 2018 ending in less than a few weeks, eeek…it’s time for serious reflection and celebration. Let’s be honest, I would rather lean towards celebration then reflection. Because holiday parties. But then the New years hits and we are all freaking out, making to do lists and hitting the gym.
