Talent Show

Church activities are the best for date nights, because you can just go and enjoy. Last week was our wards "talent show" and it was a lot of fun.

There was a potluck that gave people an opportunity to  share their cooking/baking talents. I brought this smoked salmon appetizer.

It really is the easiest thing to make. I just buy the ingredients at winco and put them all together. See method/recipe below.

At the talent show, there was a place for people to share their artistic talents too and a stage for performers. We enjoyed the dinner, appreciated everyone's talents and were truly entertained.

How to make:
I slice bagels and pipe on smoked salmon cream cheese. For the garnish I slice a thin strip of smoked salmon and roll it into a rosette and add a sprig of dill. 

Recipe:
If you don't live near a Winco you could make your own smoked salmon spread using this recipe.
1/2 a fillet of smoked salmon
1 regular sized block of cream cheese

Put the smoked salmon in a mixer and blend until it is finely shredded. Then, add the cream cheese and continue mixing until the two ingredients come together. Note: The flavor is good, but I haven't tried pipping this homemade version. I know that the consistency is not as smooth as the store bought.
