An Easy Appetizer From Chef Lee Anne House

By

Everyone needs a few recipes up their sleeves for the holidays. Whether you are cooking for a small intimate gathering or a large party, having appetizers you can make ahead of time is key to enjoying your event.

I love everything about this appetizer. From the crunch of the endive, the creaminess of the cheese, the tang from the vinegar and the decadence of prosciutto…it is the perfect app for my parties.
These can be made many hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge on a small sheet tray. Line them up close so they can’t fall over. Wait to garnish them till you serve.
This recipe makes about 15-20 stuffed endive leaves.

Salsa Verde Stuffed Endive with Bleu Cheese, Pears and Prosciutto

1/2 cup softened, low fat cream cheese

1/2 cup low fat sour cream

1/8 cup low fat, olive oil mayo

2 teaspoons HouseMade Salsa Verde seasoning

1/3 cup crumbled bleu cheese plus more for garnish

2 scallions chopped thin

1 small red pear, small diced with skin on

1/2 cup small died prosciutto plus more for garnish

1 teaspoon Spicy Olive Cranberry Pear Vinegar

2 heads of Belgium endive

1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley

Whip together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo and salsa verde seasoning. Fold in gently the bleu cheese, scallions, pear, prosciutto and vinegar.

Cut the stem end off the endive so you can pull off individual leaves. You will have to cut the end of multiple times till you get to the center.

Fill the endive leaves with the cream cheese mixture. Garnish with more bleu cheese, prosciutto and fresh parsley.

For more info about this recipe, visit Lee Anne tonight from 5-10pm at the annual Thanksgiving Night Market at The Yellow Cab Tavern!

Whether you’re stocking up on spices and ingredients for parties with family and friends, or getting started on some early gift shopping, this is your perfect chance to find one-of-a-kind handmade goods from right here in Dayton!

Plus there will be local craft beer! It’s the best holiday shopping you’ll experience this season.

HouseMade Introduces New Spice Blends

By Leave a Comment

We’ve been writing about HouseMade for several years, starting with the sweet sauce with a slow, powerful Thai Chili heat that was the Winner of the 2014, 2015, & 2016 Cajun Hot Sauce festival. Then there was the PEACHY Habanero, for those not so fond of the heat from the original, and then came the Serrano GREEN and the Thai Chili Hot Honey.  Those were enough to get you hooked.  But now there’s more!

Just in time to start your grilling weather off right! Who doesn’t need some fun, funky, unique spice blends to add major flavor to their meats, veggies, dips and sauces?

 

LeeAnne House, the owner and chef of HouseMade Sriracha, says “even chefs need go to spice blends to spice up their week night repertoires.” She found herself buying blends from other companies but wanted to create her own version without all the additives. Her new spice line is just like all her sriracha sauces, no colors, preservatives or anti caking agents in anything. Just great fresh flavors!

 

Chimichurri grilled zucchini and squash ribbons

There are 3 brand new HouseMade spice blends that your kitchen absolutely needs:

Salsa Verde rainbow carrot slaw

        chimichurri

        salsa verde

        chorizo

They are available at the Spicy Olive in Austin Landing and will be at The Night Market at the Old Yellow Cab tonight,  Friday, April 21 and runs from 5-10pm.  Of course there will be plenty of sriracha too.

 

 

If you haven’t been to The Night Market you are truly missing out. It is full of handmade items from local Dayton vendors. Everything from soaps, jewelry, BBQ sauces, coffee, candy, candles, sweets and hot sauces. Going on at the same time is the Food Truck Rally with a boat load of trucks. Live music and local beer on tap round out the event. And if beer isn’t your thang, check out the pedal powered espresso bar from 13North Coffee. That will keep the night going!

If you need cooking suggestions there will lots of new recipes coming to the HouseMade Facebook page very shortly. LeeAnne’s Instagram, leonaleelady, is full of food photography using the new spice blends and of course lots of pictures of her pups! Feel free to shoot her a message. She is always ready to talk shop.

Local Food Vendors Return To Yellow Cab For Monthly Night Market

Night Market PhotoIn November 2014, The Yellow Cab Building hosted their first “Night Market,” a market spotlighting local farmers, small boutique vendors such as sauce and salsa makers, juice and soda makers and all sorts of delicious goodies.  Folks at The Yellow Cab have decided to make this event a permanent fixture in Downtown Dayton. On Saturday March 21st, The Yellow Cab Building will begin hosting this Night Market on a monthly basis.

“Night Market in November was great for attendees and vendors, and many people asked if we would hold the event weekly.  We’ve decided that a monthly event is the right fit for our space,” Brian Johnson, organizer said. In partnership with local chef and sriracha maker, LeeAnne House, Johnson plans to create this alternative farmers market that he says is like “a Saturday morning farmer’s market combined with an evening at your favorite local brewery.” He says that “By hosting this market at night, we are reaching a new demographic of consumers that might not always get up early on Saturday; additionally, by offering local, craft beer at the event we are encouraging them to stick around a little longer and chat with the unique community of farmers and boutique food vendors.”
There will be a variety of vendors in attendance including;

1. Homefull (daytons homeless advocacy group with a farm!)
2. The Shakery Juice Bar
3. A Bit of a Bite Salsa
4. Chef JC’s (vanilla extracts)
5. Ashley’s Pastry Shop
6. Wheezy’s garlic, spices and more
7. Oakley Urban Farm
8. FOND of Life Food Organically Nutritious and Delicious
9. Caramel Cravings
10. Simple Man Foods, LLC
11. Grub Stop
12. Fronana
13. Ludic Soap
14. Miami Valley Spice Traders
15. Kara Baker (baker and farmer)
16. HouseMade sriracha, hot honey and spices & rubs
