It’s the holiday season and that means entertaining time. With entertaining comes food and it’s a must for holiday parties. Using the De’Longhi Livenza Compact All Day Grill and De’Longhi Livenza Slow Cooker can help make your preparations for what ever you may be hosting even easier.
De’Longhi Livenza Compact All Day Grill
I have a tasty recipe for Eggnog Waffles with Cinnamon Syrup that is perfect for a holiday breakfast or brunch and can be prepared in the De’Longhi Livenza Compact All Day Grill. With this grill, you get three kitchen appliances in one. With three interchangeable plates, this grill is also a sandwich and waffle maker.
Your dishes will be healthier, too, thanks to an integrated drip tray that collects excess oil during cooking. The De’Longhi’s compact design with a convenient cord wrap stores vertically inside any kitchen cabinet. The durable stainless steel interchangeable plates and drip tray are dishwasher safe, making cleanup virtually effortless.
There is even an app that provides recipes with step-by-step instructions. Grilling has never been easier or more convenient. This 3-in-1 kitchen favorite proves that little is the next big idea. I love to use it most for waffles or panini sandwiches.
These eggnog waffles are easy to make and they come our perfectly from the De’Longhi grill. They also get topped with a simple cinnamon syrup that has a little eggnog mixed in. I add some fresh cranberries on top for an extra festive touch and a dollop of whipped cream which adds that creamy element you get from a glass of eggnog.
De’Longhi Livena Slow Cooker
To serve along with the eggnog waffles, I have a cranberry cider that cooks in a slow cooker, more specifically the De’Longhi Livenza Slow Cooker which is an upgrade to that classic appliance.
Featuring three cooking modes (low, medium, high), you can roast or sauté ingredients directly in the 6 qt stovetop-safe cooking pot before placing the insert in the slow cooker to finish your dish. I love using the LCD display digital programmable timer. You can program up to 24 hours with an automatic 12 hour warm. The best part for me though is that the lid and insert are dishwasher safe. However, the finish on the insert makes is so easy to effortlessly wash by hand.
The insert is just the right size for this cranberry cider recipe. It fills the entire thing. I also add in some fresh cranberries for a festive touch the cider along with a cinnamon stick for serving. The combination of juices and spices in this cider is perfect. I also love the color that the cranberry juice gives this cider.
