Apple and Walnut Crab Dip #HolidayEntertaining

December 9, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
