Day 8: Caramelized Pear & Gorgonzola Tarts & Litehouse Giveaway

I’m back! Or should I say, the giveaways are back. Did anyone add yesterday’s cookies to their baking list for the weekend? Seriously, so delicious.

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe that I crafted for the Living Litehouse blog. These little tarts make and quick and easy holiday appetizer and I also offered up some suggestions for artisan cheese pairing. I never used to be a fancy cheese eater until I started enjoying red wine. I think that cheese and wine compliment each other nicely. I urge you to start dabbling in the wonderful world of cheeses.

So along with this post I’m offering up the day #8 giveaway. Here’s your chance to win a collection of the Litehouse Instantly Fresh Herbs which are pretty much amazing. They have put their collection of 15 herbs together with a few extra goodies for your enjoyment.
