~ Emmy Award Party ~

Tonight marks the 65th annual Emmy Awards !   With Neil Patrick Harris hosting and many of your favorite television stars making appearances the show is a party in itself !  But why not use it as inspiration for your own party at home.  Invite friends in to watch the show.  Choose one of your favorite shows and coordinate the decorations and menu to connect to that.  An English themed menu for Downton Abbey fans?  Maybe drinks served in test tubes?  Or food warmers made to look like bunsen burners for the Breaking Bad crowd?

 

You can have as much fun with this as you like and because television is so accessible to everyone your guests will be familiar with many, if not all, of the nominees.  You can plan games around guessing the winners,  television theme songs, or trivia.

 

To help you with a menu suggestion we’re including a recipe from Healthy Holidays.  This is a vegan recipe, contains chickpeas to help you with food combining, and is very simple and inexpensive.    ENJOY !!

 

Roasted Red Pepper and Hummus-Stuffed Cucumber

1 large red bell pepper

2 teaspoons salt

2 cucumbers, peeled

1 15 – ounce can chickpeas, rinsed

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

 

Toast the pepper on the stovetop over an open flame, turning with tongs, until the pepper is completely blackened.  Put the pepper into a paper bag with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and close the bag airtight.  The result should look like a blackened, shriveled pepper.  Cut off the ends of the cucumbers.  Cut each cucumber into rounds, scooping out some of the seeds from each round.

 

In a blender or food processor make the hummus by combining the chickpeas, oil, 1 Tablespoon water and the remaining 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Puree, adding more water if needed for creaminess.  Remove the pepper from the bag and scrape off the black outer layer under cold running water.  Cut the pepper open and remove the seeds and stem.  Chop the pepper and add it to the hummus mixture.  Puree until smooth.  Spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out part of each cucumber round.
