Fondue

For F week, a friend gave me a great recipe for cheese fondue. I thought it might be a fun way to get Emma to eat some vegetables, as well as learning about the letter F. I was wrong (on the vegetables), but it did make for a fun and delicious dinner.

Simple Cheese Fondue:
2 cans Campbell's cheddar cheese soup
1 fresh garlic clove (whole/peeled)
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
8 oz.+ Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded

In a pot over medium heat (or a fondue pot), heat broth with one peeled garlic clove. Heat to boiling. Remove clove and add soup--stir until combined. Stir in desired amount of cheese. If stringy, add 1 tablespoon milk.

Dipping ideas: Sourdough/French bread, steamed broccoli, roasted potato chunks, cubed baked or grilled chicken

Here is our spread:

Emma, dipping bread (her favorite, though occasionally she'd dip chicken too; she wasn't convinced that the roasted potatoes tasted like french fries):

  1. What a great idea! I'm sure my kids wouldn't eat the veggies, either, but it looks like a fun meal idea.
