It's time for another Oscar ceremony! Will you be one of the 40 plus million people tuning in to see if your favorite movie was worthy of a gold statue? I'm not sure that I will only because I rarely have the time to go to the movies, unless it's a movie for the kids.
The last movie I saw was Frozen with my daughter which I thought was amazing! If you are going to be watching the ceremony, you're probably going to need food, wine and maybe something sweet to help you through the speeches and dress commentary.
Cost Plus World Market has it all and just to make things a little easier on you so you can actually enjoy the Oscars, I put together some super easy appetizer ideas with some.
The appetizer I chose would taste great with a Merlot I picked up at Cost Plus. Mini meatballs roasted in the oven with a balsamic and rosemary glaze are perfect for stabbing with a toothpick.
It's so hard to stop at just one or two.
Easy toasted bruschetta withI sprinkled some grated mozzarella on top of these and flashed them under the broiler or a few minutes. Gooey and melty was the result, kind of like an artichoke dip that's already been dipped for you!
Smoked salmon mini pizzasare topped with a smear of whipped cream cheese, some smokedolive oil and fresh thyme. These were probably my favorite, yes even more than the meatballs.
These pizzas would be great for a brunch or breakfast too.
No movie night- or Oscar party- would be complete without popcorn. I melted some Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips and drizzled it over some salty popcorn.
Easy and a little messy but a great reason to lick your fingers! Compensation was provided from Cost Plus World Market for these items. All ideas and opinions are as always, my own.
