Where Does Thanksgiving End and Christmas Begin??

I have to admit, I am one of those people who really thinks that holidays should be divided up neatly, with nice clean lines drawn between them. We won’t even begin to talk about the fact that craft stores start putting out their holiday decorations the second that the patriotic summer fare gets put away after Independence Day…I have to sigh deeply when I step into a store to pick up some discounted Halloween candy and see that Christmas trees are out. Where does Thanksgiving fit into this?

Alas, I don’t get to make the decisions around here (I know that you are all disappointed about that) and on November 1st we are rocketed neatly into “the holiday season”, which we all know means the Christmas season. I guess I should be glad that it gives us more time to celebrate the season?

Holiday Time = BRUNCH TIME

Which means that we have more time for something that I think is highly underrated: the holiday brunch. I mean, why should special breakfast foods be limited to Christmas morning? And why why why shouldn’t we have a special sparkly cocktail designated just for the holiday season?

Holiday Prosecco Punch

This holiday Prosecco punch fits the bill. Riondo Prosecco is the star of the show…not too dry but not too sweet. Riondo Prosecco is imported from Italy but still very affordable. Of course, you can drink it on its own, but it pairs perfectly with a little cranberry juice, a little orange juice, and a splash of triple sec to make a bubbly brunch cocktail that you won’t soon forget. So this holiday season, before you head out to do your shopping, invite your friends over for a little pre-shopping brunch session with this holiday Prosecco punch!

Italian Summer Grilling with Colavita

May 20, 2015

Grilled eggplant rice salad and grilled sourdough caprese salad with Colavita products are a great vegetarian grilling option! | Chattavore.com


When Colavita sent me a giant box of their amazing products to use to develop some Italian summer grilling recipes, I practically turned cartwheels! | chattavore.comThis is a sponsored post about Italian summer grilling with Colavita. As always, all opinions are my own.

It won’t be summer for another month now, but here in Tennessee it’s been feeling like summer for a couple of weeks. The temperature has been above 80 degrees several days, reaching 90 on some. And I am completely okay with that. See, I love to complain about the cold. I despise cold weather. Because I complain about the cold, I never, ever complain about the heat, even on the days when my AC doesn’t stop running and all I want to do is lie on the couch with a cold wet towel on my head. It’s still better than cold.

Because it’s so hot around here and we like to keep our electric bill within a reasonable amount, we like to avoid heating up our house by turning on the oven. Once the mercury goes above 80 degrees, I only turn my oven on if I have to bake something that I can’t fit in my countertop oven. Therefore, I avoid baking anything I can’t fit in my countertop oven. Birthday cakes are an exception. My summer cooking is done in the countertop oven, the slow cooker, the smoker, and on the stove top. Oh yeah…and on the grill….especially when it involves Italian summer grilling with Colavita.

There’s just something about the flavor of food off the grill that makes me crave summer. You can eat the same old food week after week and never get excited about it…then put it on the grill and see it in a whole new light.

Looking at bottle after bottle of high quality olive oil, vinegar, and vinegar glacé (reduction) plus pesto, sundried tomatoes, capers, black rice, pasta, salt and pepper, and 00 flour (superfine flour that I have never seen here in the U.S.), I decided that those ingredients to me said vegetarian grilling. Eggplant and sourdough bread seemed like perfect candidates to go on the grill, and nothing sounded better to me than a rice salad coupled with a beautiful tomato and basil stack on that grilled sourdough. I could have eaten that grilled sourdough all on its own, and the rice salad-full of eggplant, artichoke heart, and sundried tomatoes-was even better after a day or two reheated and topped with a fried egg. And I’m so excited to find even more uses for all of my Colavita products!

  • 1 pouch Scotti 5-Minute Black Rice , cooked according to package directions
  • 1/4 cup [Colavita sundried tomatoes packed in olive oilhttp://store.colavita.com/specialty-items/vegetabes/sundried-tomatoes-9-8-oz.html], coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Colavita white balsamic vinegar
  • For the sourdough Caprese stacks
  • 4 large slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons Colavita garlic olive oil or unflavored extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons Colavita extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Colavita pesto sauce

  1. Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant with salt and place on a cooling rack over a sink. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Rinse the salt off and pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels.
  2. Preheat the center burners of a grill over medium-high. Brush the eggplant slices with two tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the grill over direct until tender, about five minutes on each side. While the eggplant is cooking on the first side, brush the sourdough slices with the garlic olive oil. When you turn the eggplant, place the sourdough over indirect heat and grill, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides.
  3. Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes and toss with the black rice, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, white balsamic vinegar, and remaining olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine the 2 tablespoons of pesto with the remaining olive oil in a small bowl. Divide the tomatoes and mozzarella among the slices of grilled bread, staggering slightly. Lightly salt and pepper then drizzle with the olive oil/pesto mixture and the balsamic glacé. Serve immediately.
