Perk up your dreary January with the Golden Globes and some yummy Canadian beef treats

Okay it’s the second week in January.  My Christmas tree has been taken down and the outside decorations put away.  Boxes and wrapping have been recycled and old clothes and items have been donated to make way for the new.  This is usually the time that I am hit with the January blahs.  Dark cold nights keep me inside, and honestly I am a little worn out from all the holiday activity.   But a fun part of January is tuning into the Golden Globe Awards.  They air this Sunday, January 15^th.  Hosted by Ricky Gervais (yes – he’s back after taking lots of heat from last year’s awards) – the evening is sure to be a lot of fun.

I find the Golden Globes less stuffy than the Academy Awards and the show is often an indicator of who’ll win Academy Awards later in the year.  But best of all, it’s a great chance to see all the stunning evening gowns (not to mention the stunning actors!).  Why not make an evening of it?  Invite some friends over, open a bottle of bubbly and enjoy some of our great Canadian Beef appetizers.

A great alternative to Nachos!

I just love our Asian Beef Potstickers …my mouth is watering just thinking of them….and you can cook them ahead of time, which is always a great option.  Or try our Tangy Thai Beef Pinwheels.  These are so easy to make, either using left over roast beef, or deli beef.  They taste delicious and look great.  Greek Beef Bruschetta is a great alternative to nachos and super easy.

So whether it’s with friends, family or by yourself, enjoy a little Hollywood glam, and some tasty little nibbles to get you through the Canadian winter.

Want other appetizer recipes? We’ve got lots!
