Today I'm excited to do this video for you, we are going to cover holiday entertaining on a budget and
We're gonna do it with the help of our friends at new Lidl
I was excited to be contacted by them because they saw my haul video
And they asked if they could send me a gift card
And so I thought I'm totally going to do a holiday video on how to entertain on a budget, and that's what we're doing today
Yesterday we went over to the Lidl in Havelock, which is the next town over which is the closest one to us?
and
we bought these three bags of groceries now Lidl is very similar to Aldi if you are not familiar with them so with what we
Have in these three bags of groceries. I'm gonna show you how to put out an amazing party spread
that's complete with a cheese board a char kutari tray some sweets some nibbles and some notches and all for
Just over a hundred dollars legal is very generous
and they sent me a gift card for a hundred dollars and
With tax and everything it was a hundred and nine so we're gonna go and we're gonna we're gonna start making our
Party right here right now, okay?
The first thing we want to do is put a tablecloth on I picked this up at legal this tablecloth was 349
I really like it because it's like super heavy, and it's not like those cheap and cheesy
Tablecloths, so we're just gonna put the tablecloth on
Okay, I unpack the grocery bags
Just so you could see everything that we picked up at legal for our little our little party spread
and
I'm just gonna go over it really quick because I'm gonna also show you how to build a small charcuterie tray and for those of
You don't know what that means
It's a cured meat tray
and I'm gonna show you how to make a quick cheese board with a couple of tips and tricks and a couple of rules and
We started with the tablecloth we got that all put down this tablecloth is really nice quality
And it's gonna last me the holiday season and probably beyond
If you guys like to have a pretty and festive table covering this was really nice
And it's a little bit different from
The norm the new usual stuff that you see I love it because it's very subdued
But it's festive nonetheless, so I'll show you some of the things that we got we'll start off with the cured meats
I went ahead and I got some this is some capicola
some pepper coated salami, and I have heard really good things about these meats, so I also got some prosciutto crudo and
Some Genoa salami these have all been sliced
I bought everything pre sliced because that makes it easy because if you're in a hurry and come up with a last-minute get-together
you don't want to be messing with this stuff in your kitchen you just want to slap it on a tray and
Enjoy their time and your and your time together
I also got a panettone because this is a nice little sweet treat
It's not a really heavy dessert
But everybody enjoys it this is just an Italian sweet bread it has raisins and candied orange peel in it. It's delicious
to go on the cheese and charcuterie
We went ahead and got some pitted dates and some dried figs. We got a six pack of bottled lager
Beer and for those people who maybe don't enjoy
The libation we went ahead and we got some sparkling red grape juice and some sparkling apple cider
I got a couple of bags of both dark and white seedless grapes those go great with
Cheese and the charcuterie as well
I picked up a couple of bottles. This is just some
whole-grain mustard
And some Dijon mustard because those things go really well with what we're serving as well. I got a bottle of their balsamic vinegar
And a bottle of their olive oil I had
My pastor's wife say their olive oil is fantastic
I haven't yet tried it, so we're gonna go ahead and make a little dipping sauce with
some herbs
And we have some baguette that I have sliced the baguettes at Lidl are
Incredible their baked goods are amazing we bought a few baguettes yesterday. This is a little olive tapenade
We went ahead and picked that up
This is lovely on crackers or on baguette as well
And then you've seen me purchase these in the past in my last haul. This is the green fig and honey spread
the hot and sweet pepper spread and
This was new I picked this up is the rhubarb crumble spread
So we've got these are things that really go well together sweet savory salty tart. It's all gonna be fantastic
folks the cheese selection at Lidl is amazing and you'll notice that most of what you see here and
Most of what you're gonna see in the store is their house brand they asked me if I would
concentrate on
The preferred selection, which is their house brand, but it's such high quality. I'm really impressed with all of it
They're cheese selection is out of this world and the prices. Oh my goodness
Oh, it really was kind of blown away
This is probably one of my very favorite cheese's to put on a cheese tray
this is white Stilton cheese with dried apricot in it and
Stilton is a bit of a stinky cheese, but it's so good
It's creamy and smooth, and it's tart, and it's delicious with the addition of the dried apricots it gives
It just that little sweetness and it's perfect. I got a wedge of Spanish manchego
I got some Gouda, or if you're really being particular
It's pronounced powder, and then I got some jalapeno Havarti. This is always a nice semi-soft cheese
Everybody likes Havarti and then my favorite, which is the brie double cream?
I love a good Brie
And this is always a good one to put on your cheese tray this fulfills the soft cheese requirement
We also picked and I didn't need to get all three of these
But I did because I wanted to give them a try these are little pots of goat cheese
One has Susan with tomato and basil one is just plain and one is seasoned with chives
Because you know I can't resist a good
Spreadable goat cheese. This is Micah's favorite cheese's goat cheese a little bit more sweet things we picked up some of these
It's nougat bars one with
tropical fruits this one has
mixed berries in it and this one is just very traditional with almonds and hazelnuts these remind me of
Italian Tortoni if you're familiar with those then you'll know what I'm talking about
These are just kind of like and Myka looked at them and said are these like divinity and that's a really really good
Comparison to make it is made from boiled sugar and beaten egg whites, and that's a nice little sweet
We can cut those up and put them on a tray, and then I got these really sweet little
Chocolate ornaments these are imported German chocolate for Nimmons, and these are little elves and these are little ornament balls
So it doesn't have to be elaborate it doesn't have to be a ton because if you're having your friends over you're gonna
Have fun you're gonna play a game
you're gonna drink some wine or some beer and
You're just going to have a good time because that really what this is all about is
Bringing people together and having a memorable time. It's it's not gonna be the food that they remember
It's gonna be spending time with you and because you can't have a little party with a little nosh
Without having a little crunchy nibble
We bought a bag of these potato chips because my friend actually works at Lido I worked with her for years and years
It's a lawyer's office
She works there now. She said that their wavy potato chips are awesome, and so is their French onion dip now normally
I would make my own French onion dip
But she suggested this so we picked it up and then they had this maple pecan popcorn
That it just kind of made its way into the cart
So we're gonna go ahead and we're going to put this spread together, and we're gonna show you what it looks like
There you go that is our
budget friendly party spread
courtesy of Lidl holiday entertaining has never been easier or more budget-friendly
And I have to tell you guys the quality of this stuff is out of bounds
I'm gonna just start over here and move my way over
We went ahead and did a little
condiment platter
and I just set out these little jars of spread the rhubarb crumble the hot sweet pepper spread and the
fig and honey
along with the Dijon and the grainy mustard because these things all they
Complement the meats the cheeses and everything else on this table beautifully
I got myself a package not from Lidl, but I have these on hand these are just disposable spoons, and they look like they're silver
That's your friend at the busy time of year
I'm not joking so you know this way everybody can help themselves without contaminating the whole container
they can just take what they like put it on their plate make sure you have plenty of plates and
then make sure you have plenty of ice and cups for your guests who come so that you can serve your
Beverages and then what I've done
We made the charcuterie tray our our smoked and cured meats along with some fruit and dried fruit. We have our
Sliced baguette and I've gone ahead and done the same with this jar of Olives spread
Just popped the spoon in there because you know you're not gonna want to have to be searching for a ton of
Dishware if you don't have it on hand you can just grab what you have and leave it in the jar
Nobody is gonna care your friends. Love you regardless
There's our popcorn
And I made this little dipping sauce
For the bread see and it's just so yummy to eat that way and people can just dip their their bread in there the baguette
Is also great with the cheese and the meat everybody is gonna
Go away satisfied if you need to have more olive oil dipping sauce than all you have to do leave your
Balsamic and your olive oil on the table and people can just mix it up
There's plenty of herbs in there to go around so there won't even be any problem with that our cheese tray is
Self-explanatory everyone's gonna love that if you put the right knife in there
Then everybody can just come along and take off a chunk of cheese, and they're gonna love it as far as our sweets
We've got our panettone
You can slice that up further than I did obviously
but I just put it in little chunks because
Nobody is gonna want a big honkin piece of bread and whatever you've leftover you can turn into french toast and it is gonna be
The most amazing French toast you have ever eat as far as the Tortoni or the nougat bars
I went ahead and I cut each one into six pieces laid them out on a festive tray boom
They're easy, sweet little pick ups and then I put the little chocolates in this festive dish
And then of course we have our chips and dip I put a spoon in the dip so people can put a little on their
plate and they don't have to keep dig dipping in there while they're standing around the bowl and then they can just mill around and
converse with your other guests
It's good. Huh, so I want to thank Lidl for sending me that very generous gift card. I wasn't really expecting
I thought well I can't just take that and use it
I really want to use it to share something with you, so this is my take on holiday entertaining on a budget
There's plenty here
There's even more that I didn't put out as far as the meat and the cheese so you know you're good to go
So invite your friends over pop in a holiday movie listen to some music
Whatever you're gonna do grab a game if you've never played apples to apples
I highly recommend it you and your friends are gonna
Have a great time with that one balderdash is an excellent one
But whatever you do just take some time this holiday season and spend it with your friends
And your love because you never get today back
you don't know what tomorrow is gonna bring and
This is just a way to bring everybody together because we all have to eat and we all want each other to know how much
We care about them, so
Thank you ladle for providing the impetus for this spread
I hope that you all enjoyed learning about how my take for entertaining on a budget at the holidays looks
And I hope you give it a try, and I hope you love it and until next time happy holidays
