You can arrange a snack in the form of a snowman, or you can connect your imagination.
To decorate a snack in the form of a Snowman: make 3 balls from the resulting mass: one is large, the other is smaller, and the third is the smallest. Roll these balls in coconut flakes (anything you like can be used instead, depending on your taste, for example, I use cheese). Boil a carrot and cut it out in the shape of a bucket - this will be the snowmen's hat. And the black eyes of snowmen can be made using black caviar (not necessarily real, you can use imitation) or olives, cut to size and shape.

We have also prepared, in which you can choose the ones you like and start setting the table with them.

Let's add some more snacks.

Hot dishes:

At the end of summer, eggplant is the most common food in my opinion. They go both as a main course, and as a side dish, and as an appetizer. And although they themselves are neither fish nor meat, they go very well with fish and meat. Eggplant caviar is especially good, which people usually prepare for the winter. But we eat it right away, since now you can buy eggplant at any time of the year, of course it is more expensive and it would be better to prepare it yourself for the winter, but not everyone has the conditions for this.

1. Eggplants quickly and tasty in a pan

We have already prepared several eggplant dishes. These are eggplants baked in the oven, this is the Moussaka meat and eggplant dish, these are eggplant salads and appetizers.

Eggplant is another vegetable. True, it is less versatile than zucchini, but it can also be added to almost any salad, and in many salads, he himself is the main character. The taste of fried eggplant resembles the taste of mushrooms, sometimes you can even be deceived.

1. Eggplant in white sauce

Of course, dry eggplant, without sauce, you can eat. But it’s still better if there is a sauce, and it’s even better to cook them in a sauce.

1. Red fish marinated

This dish is prepared in a completely different way, which I wrote about in the previous article “Pumpkin salmon under orange sauce”, that different dishes can be prepared from red fish, fried, steamed, salted, marinated, etc. We have been using this recipe for marinated fish for many years and it seems to me that every time the fish becomes tastier and tastier.

1. Meat in French with broccoli in the oven

Well, we finally got to the meat. Of course, New Year's Eve is very important, but meat is meat. We used to always serve it after the clock strikes 12, we drink champagne, and then the hostess jumped up and lamented: “oh meat-meat” and ran to the kitchen to take the meat out of the oven or remove it from the stove.

1. Potatoes with sour cream baked in aluminum foil in the oven.

Baked potatoes in foil are not only very tasty, but also a healthy dish. The taste of potatoes baked in the oven is not much different from baked on charcoal. This dish very much loved by housewives in America for its taste and ease of preparation. The dish turns out juicy and tender, and at the same time retains all useful trace elements and vitamins.

1. Veal entrecote with bananas

Entrecote - was one of the most famous restaurant meat dishes in our country. I remember back in the 60s and 70s. in restaurants it was possible to order beefsteak and entrecote from meat dishes, as the main meat dishes. Well, it’s true that there were also Kiev cutlets, but the sound of the words beefsteak, entrecote, as it were, brought us into the atmosphere of something unusual, foreign.

1. Baked lamb back with potatoes in the oven

As I wrote in other recipes, lamb is my favorite meat, and well cooked, with good sauce, garnish, saturated with the smells of all the ingredients that we add to it, I cannot describe this, it must be tried. Well, today we will cook lamb back with potatoes and pineapple puree, I have seen many similar recipes and each has something of its own.

1. Beef with champignons and new potatoes with photo

For some reason, it is customary for us (in Russia) to apply for festive feast meat either in the form of a cutlet or chop, or in boiled, or shoved somewhere, for example, in the dough (dumplings). But there are thousands of recipes for cooking meat, and each one is original in some way. So I decided to give you a recipe for beef with mushrooms. The most delicious dish.

1. How to make moussaka

Moussaka - it does not sound like the name of a dish, but like music, although it is just a casserole, like the well-known lasagna. But of course there are differences.

This is the principle of moussaka.

They think that pasta, noodles, it's almost National dish Italy. (there, by the way, they call it pasta). Well, maybe, although in Russia it is no less a national dish, along with potatoes. Of course, the Italians prepare hundreds of dishes from pasta, but for some reason, we mostly use it only as a side dish.

1. Pink salmon with orange sauce

Pink salmon is probably the most unpresentable, but the most numerous, and therefore the cheapest, salmon fish in our markets. Despite the above, this fish is very tasty, and its usefulness cannot be compared with farmed Norwegian salmon.

1. Beijing cabbage stewed with mushrooms and baked in the oven

Beijing cabbage is difficult to compare with any other. It differs in that it is juicy and crispy at any time of the year. In cooking, it occupies a special place and even begins to displace our usual white cabbage. It gives tenderness to any dish, whether it is baked or in a salad.
