Cheese Boutique

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone is having a great long weekend. 

After seeing a segment on the Cheese Boutique on a tv show I had always wanted to go and finally went with my mom! It was so great, everyone was so friendly and the food was all delicious. Even when we were shopping around someone handed us espressos with a biscotti. Here is what I got at the Cheese Boutique: 

I had this for my lunch, you can't go wrong with a great kale salad. 

Gluten Free, Vegan, Buckwheat Noodles with Yam. So yummy!

This Sweet Butternut Squash Ravioli is hands down my all time favourite.

Took a little bit of everything and made a little platter. Starting from the top and going clockwise I have Rainforest Multigrain Crackers, Artichoke Dip, Figaro Cheese, Riopelle Cheese, Organic Blue Tortilla Chips, Water Crackers and in the centre Mixed Berry Chutney. 

Good Eats: Easy Tortilla Chips Recipes

I don't often have tortilla chips in the house but I always have tortillas. 

Here is how to make tortillas into tortilla chips.. not really a recipe, but still helpful!

First, preheat the oven to 250°. 

Then cut up a tortilla into small pieces. They won't shrink in the oven so cut them 

into the size you want the actual chip to be. 

I cut this small sized tortilla into 8 pieces, it worked perfectly with the size. In the bigger size, it won't cut so perfectly, so just try and keep them triangle-like.

Line up the tortillas on a baking sheet so they're not overlapping. The green ones are Regular sized Spinach tortillas. You can see how I tried to keep them triangle(-ish).

Bake until golden brown and completely crispy. 

The green spinach tortillas were thinner and made crispier chips while the regular white tortillas were thicker. I liked having the variety. Different tortillas make different chips so experiment with your favourite.

These go well with salsa, guac, dips, anything!

Look for the Guacamole Recipe coming out soon, have a great day everyone!
