What to Bring & What to Make?
What to Bring to all those Holiday Parties?
Victoria Gourmet’s Tin Trios make the perfect Holiday hostess gift. I think these are a great alternative to the traditional bottle of wine. My trios have 6 different themes so you can choose the right theme for the right person. They are packaged in clear plastic (recyclable PET) custom boxes – no wrapping required! The 6 themes are:
1. BBQ & Grill Trio
Includes Cinnamon Chile Rub, New Orleans Seasoning and Kansas City Seasoning.
2. Exotic Blends Trio
Includes Moroccan Seasoning, Curry and Smoky Paprika Chipotle Seasoning.
3. Cooks Daily Trio
Includes Toasted Onion Herb, Sicilian Seasoning and Texas Red Seasoning.
4. Seafood Trio
Includes Ginger Citrus Seasoning, Seafood Seasoning and Toasted Sesame Ginger Seasoning.
5. Fall/Holiday Trio
Includes Holiday Seasoning, Mulling Spices and Pie Spices.
6. Dipping Oil Trio
Includes Mediterranean Seasoning, Tuscan Seasoning and Herbes de Provence.

What to make for your guests?
I have picked out six easy & quick recipes for this season. They all can be served with crackers, chips or veggies. I like carrots and radishes. Try serving the radishes in quarters with some lemon juice. Or make radish or carrot rounds (or chips) for dipping. I am not a fan of celery so I skip that in my selection of crudités.

Flavorful dip and appetizer recipes:
NEW ~ Classic Curry Dip
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Refrigeration Time: 2 – 8 hours
Makes 1/14 cups
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbs finely minced onion
3 Tbs ketchup
1 Tbs Victoria Taylor’s Curry
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend. Let this mixture stand for at least two hours (overnight is best) to let the flavors combine. Serve with fresh veggies, shrimp, or chips.
We recommend hollowing out a head of purple cabbage as a “bowl”. This dip is a bright yellow and the contrast is lovely. Enjoy!
