Apple and Walnut Crab Dip #HolidayEntertaining

Hi Everyone,

Well it’s official!  The holidays are just about here!  It’s time to put on your party hats and start planning your holiday party.  I am here to help!!  I started a Holiday Entertaining Pintrest board to help you get ideas for table design, decorating and recipes.  I searched Pintrest and found some of the most fabulous fun ideas.  You can check out my Holiday Entertaining board here.


Apple & Walnut Crab Dip
When I throw a holiday party, I like to make things that are simple, yet elegant, so today I created a very easy, takes only a few minutes Apple and Walnut Crab Dip. The dip is full of sweet and savory flavor. It’s made with crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Robert Mondavi Private Selection Sauvignon Blanc, apples, walnuts and cinnamon. It may sound like a strange combination, but trust me it is amazing.
Apple & Walnut Crab Dip

With the very first taste you get a wonderful crab flavor with just a hint of citrus from the lemon and  Sauvignon Blanc. Then you finish off with a pinch a sweetness from the apples with an ending taste of cinnamon. The dip is delicious and would go wonderful on crackers or even on top of a small salad served with watercress. Crab dip is something I don’t make very often, which I don’t understand because crab is one of my all time favorite seafoods next to shrimp.

Apple & Walnut Crab Dip

I used Robert Mondavi Private Selection Sauvignon Blanc wine to give my crab dip a little extra flavor which matched up perfectly. The wine is light, fresh, with a hint of citrus and pairs well with seafood or even a beautiful lemon and rosemary chicken dish. I love a light wine that is not dry and nor have an oak taste. The 2011 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Sauvignon Blanc is 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Chardonnay, and 1% Malvasia Bianca and is grown in Monterey County which is central California. I just love Central California. My Husband and I actually talked about moving there one day. It’s so beautiful. If you have never been there you really must go there for a visit.

Apple & Walnut Crab Dip

I made a little list of holiday do’s and don’t’s to make your party planning go more smoothly.

  • Create a budget and stick to it
  • Send out invitations at least 3 weeks in advance, the sooner the better and ask for RSVP
  • Don’t go overboard with design and menu planning, simple is best
  • Have music, a nice playlist of holiday tunes
  • Make the meal plan simple and make things that you are comfortable with making
  • Plan your seating – If you’re having  a large dinner party, make seating arrangements with pretty place cards
  • Ask if there are any dietary requirements, such as vegetarian and vegan
  • Make your guests feel welcome, offer food and beverages
  • Introduce your guests to other guests they may not know
  • Remember to enjoy the party!  People come to your home to be with you, mingle, enjoy yourself after all this is your party too!

Apple & Walnut Crab Dip #HolidayEntertianing

When I opened up my bottle of Robert Mondavi Private Selection Sauvignon Blanc I found the cutest little saying on the wine cork and I just had to share it with you, which I find very true.
Robert Mondavi
I had fun with today’s recipe and I just love cooking with wine.  I think it really adds some pizzazz to a recipe, plus when I add it, it makes me feel like a chef!  🙂  Plus it’s always nice to have a nice glass while you are cooking.  He he  If you’re looking for some nice recipes to serve at your next party or for your own meal, you should check out Robert Mondavi’s website.  They have some fun recipes like Tricked Out Ramen!  Yup that’s Ramen noodles!

    Sounds delish Jennifer! I’m like you, I don’t cook often with crab but I do love it when it’s done well. Lemon is so nice with crab and I love crunch of the apple and walnuts.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

The pillow is reversible and in the other side it’s the American flag. I will share the other side in stories today.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?
