    Party Ideas http://www.thegardengatesblog.com/2007/02/11/please-your-entire-guest-with-sweet-and-blue/ As the temperatures begin to warm and thoughts of spend time by the poolside cross your mind, you may think about having some friends over to hang out.  It doesn’t take a huge effort to make quick eats for everyone.  As a regular guy and typically joke about being big and dumb, I have a list of really easy eats to make for your guest. 

    Sweet and Blue – where honey meets blue cheese

                1-honey comb

                1 -thinly sliced green apple

                ¼ cup of fresh raspberries

                ¼ cup of fresh blackberries

                1 -loaf French bread thinly sliced

                ¼ cup of honey

                8 oz Danish Blue Cheese

                1 cake plate for presentation

               

    Directions: Chill the cake plate for while preparing slicing the French bread and apple.  Once you have completed the slicing, place the honey comb on the center of the cake plate.  Place the Danish Blue Cheese along side the honey comb and then place the sliced apples on the opposite side.  Carefully pour the honey over the Blue Cheese, honey comb and sliced apples. After this, place the sliced bread in groups of 5 and finish it off with groups of 3 raspberries and blackberries evenly placed about the plate. 

               

    Take the sliced bread and spread some honeycomb over it. Then add the apple slice topped with blue cheese and a touch of honey.  This will be a big crowd pleaser.  You can also add white cheddar in addition to the blue cheese. 

    This can be served with just about anything.  I typically serve it with a cheese tortellini with chopped scallions, celery and light pesto sauce.  I finish this dish off with fresh grated parmesan.
