Canadian company Summer Fresh is making sure you don’t miss out during this unique holiday season with some great holiday recipes. While we may not be able to celebrate in groups this year, Summer Fresh makes small, safe, socially distant gatherings with your family and immediate bubble worry free. This festive season, Summer Fresh is thrilled to introduce its annual Holiday Appy Recipe Guide, a one-stop shop for all of your holiday entertaining ideas.
All of the holiday recipes in the Appy Guide are both fun and delicious holiday recipes while keeping safety top of mind. The Individual portions paired with limited sharing are designed so people can enjoy each other’s company while remaining at a safe distance, ensuring this holiday season is as safe as can be. Each dish is more delicious than the last, and are all made with popular Summer Fresh dips… ready within 30 minutes or less!
The most popular Appys to-date have been the Mini Spinach, Artichoke & Asiago Bake where miniature 5” cast iron dishes are recommended to keep the portions individual-sized and oh-so-adorable. Second, to this, the Vegan Pasta Bake has been a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike! The creamy goodness of the sauce and caramelized onions come together to create a flavour profile that everyone is a fan of! For more ideas, visit the Appy section of the Summer Fresh site here.
