Grape Goat Cheese Flatbread
November 12, 2014
It’s already November and people are gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My candles are lit, filling the house with the aroma of pumpkin spice, caramel latte and apple cinnamon. I just might have three different candles burning right now as we speak.
For the upcoming holiday season I’ve teamed up with the California Table Grape Commission to bring you an awesome “Fall in Love with Grapes” appetizer recipe using grapes from California. Our entire family goes through at least two bags of grapes a week. California grapes are available May through January, and seriously, we can’t get enough of them.
Grapes aren’t just for snacking. You can mix them into your chicken salad, roast them with some cauliflower or add them to a flatbread like this grape and goat cheese flatbread recipe I’ve created. The best part is, one serving of grapes (3/4 cup) contains just 90 calories, no fat, no cholesterol and virtually no sodium!
California grapes are grown in the rich California soil of the San Joaquin and Coachella Valleys. Who’s up for a road trip with me? Growing table grapes is a family tradition in California that has been passed down from generation to generation.
These grapes arrive at your local grocery store ripe and ready to eat, Store them in your fridge and give them a quick rinse once you are ready to enjoy them.
On November 18th, 9 PM ET participate in the “Fall in Love with Grapes” Twitter party where LOTS of great prizes will be given away. Hint: You might even be asked: How many calories are in a ¾ cup of grapes? Head on over to the Grapes from California website for the answer to this and other trivia questions during the party and you could be a winner. Please use the hashtag #GrapesfromCA. Don’t forget to register for the party here to be eligible to win!

If I got started eating these, it would be very hard to stop! Grapes and goat cheese are such a fabulous pairing!
I’ve got my candles burning too – actually you just reminded me to light them – apple pumpkin and vanilla chai are my current favorites! Harvest is about to come out of the cabinet 🙂
Love this flatbread creation!! What a great appetizer to go along with some wine.
I feel as though the grape is way under used during the winter months! Love this combo, friend!
You and I are on the same wavelengths today! 😉 I love me some goat cheese! Also? I need to whip out my Fall candles! I’m still chillin’ with “summer breeze”. haha 😀

To be totally honest I’m not 100% sure about the grapes but I’ll try anything once – and if I don’t like that part I KNOW I’ll like the rest of it!
These look amazing I would love to try these out. I don’t think I could make them but I sure could eat them up.
I love goat cheese. Don’t use it often enough. Thanks for the recipe!
I adore goat cheese and I love it even more when it’s on flatbread 😉
That is worth a couple taste samples 🙂
It looks nice!
I love exploring new ingredients and flavors to add to my meals, especially when it comes to cheese. There’s something about a combination of fresh ingredients and a rich, flavorful cheese that can take a simple dish to the next level. Speaking of which, if you’re into unique and delicious cheeses, I highly recommend checking out wisconsin cheeseman reviews. From my experience, they offer an amazing selection of artisanal cheeses that could be perfect for this kind of recipe. Whether you’re making flatbreads or just want something extra for a charcuterie board, they’ve got great options to enhance your dishes!
