Pomegranate Dinner & Drinks with Pom Wonderful

October 29, 2016 By Beth Nydick


POM POMS Fresh Pomegranate Arils

Pomegranate Dinner and Drinks #cookwithpom

Boy, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind, that’s why I was so happy to be invited to a dinner party with POM Wonderful and Momtrends. The evening was filled with cocktails, cooking and catching up with old friends.

Dinner tasted great, all the women that attended the event had the chance to cook one of the dishes. We made POM POMS Moroccan Shrimp, Pomamole ( Guacamole with POM POMS), Roasted Salmon topped with POM POMS salsa , Stuffed Squash with POM POMS, and Whole Wheat POM POMS Aril Waffles but my favorite was the Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower topped with POM POMS. 

 

Below are a few of the amazing recipes from the night:

  3. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter on the waffle iron for each waffle. Cook until golden and crispy. Place on a cooling rack immediately after removing from the waffle iron. Top waffles with POM POMS Fresh Arils, yogurt and drizzle with honey.

 Now for the DRINKS!!

Pom Wonderful and Momtrends served two wonderful drinks, The Dapper Devil and POM Refresh.

  • 2 tbsp POM POMS Fresh Arils

So of course, I went home and made up my own drink:

POM Wonderful Rosemary Martini by BBK

cake-1

Makes: 6 drinks, 1 pitcher

  • 5 cups vodka
  • 5 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Lemon twists from lemon peel
  • Rosemary sprigs

Combine the vodka, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice in a pitcher filled with ice, mix well. Fill martini glasses with pomegranate arils, and lemon twists. Pour vodka mixture into glasses straining out the ice and garnish with rosemary sprigs. Enjoy!

 

 A little POMDUCATION: 
Pomegranates are in season in North America from September through February and the most amazing product, according to my kids, are POM POMS Fresh Pomegranate Aril. http://www.pomwonderful.com/pomegranate-products/freshfruit/pom-wonderful-fresh-pomegranate-arils/

cookwithpom-pomegranate-fun

Available from October to January. The kids love to make virgin cocktails with POM juice and seltzer then garnish them with the Arils. Each 8oz bottle has as much potassium as a medium banana, has no sugar added and you get two whole pomegranates in that bottle. For a few not so virgin cocktails check more recipes from POM Wonderful. http://www.pomwonderful.com/pomegranate-cocktails/

Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a hea Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a healthy dinner when you have roasted a whole bunch of veggies. Last nite I made zucchini with scallion, carrots with parsley , tomato with garlic and it took me 5 minutes. Here is how to make veggies fast and tasty.
1. Pull all the veggies you have in the house that you can cook. Pick 3 to 4.
2. Chop everything into big pieces or keep whole.  3. Add to a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Get really crazy and peel some garlic to throw in. Put it all onto 1 or more oiled pans.
4. Roast the shit out of them. 375’ for 20-40 minutes is always a safe bet. You can always ask Alexa or google for that particular veggie. 
5. Have some right out of oven, taste the best!
6. Pack them into containers and save for tomorrow.
7. When hungry pull out some veggies, pour them into a pan to heat up. I like to top mine with a fried egg or avocado and salsa.
8. Enjoy! ⁣

Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the time and I live it.  I was asked to be apart of this incredible fundraiser.  Because .. well I’m fab.... that and I have a relationship with @dishitgirldina  @jessica_dambra & @cmspiceculture , the hosts. No I don’t know them from my kids and have only met Dina in person. But when I’m booked on their show, I show up in top shape, create a fantastic segment and follow up with social media leverage. We all work as a “team”, tagging each other to get  out the content. ................The way I made it happen from the start was this.... I saw Dina was hosting a new local show and I reached out to her and the producer. The producer was excited for me to bring cocktails to the show. Nothing special, just people being people. What are you doing to create your next opportunity from your contact list?? Yes, right now!?!?? Nothing? Let’s talk, I bet you I will help you find more than one. .. ⁣
