ref=”https://thinktasty1.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Maple-Apple-Mustard.jpg”>I know I’ve written about it many times, but I thoroughly adore Tapas Mondays.  Even though it means not eating dinner until after 9:00, it is such a wonderful way to start the workweek.  The kids are in bed, working on homework, or entertaining themselves on a different floor of the house.  The dining room is lit by candles, and my husband and I sit down to a delicious dinner and some prosecco.

Many of these nights involve a fair amount of cooking.  While the kids eat their dinner, I am working on that night’s menu.  However, sometimes there are other events on a Monday, which means that we need to reconfigure our dining.  This past Monday was one of those nights.  With a high school sports night from 7:00-9:00, I knew that my cooking time would be almost nonexistent.

So, we planned a simple menu.  On Sunday afternoon we shopped for an assortment of cheeses, sausage, crackers, and fruit.  A quick batch of maple-glazed almonds and walnuts was made.  Thinking about the assortment of cheeses, I thought that mustard would be a nice accompaniment, but why settle for something simply out a jar?  I wanted to add something that had my fingerprint.

Considering possible mix-ins, I ended up with Maple Apple Mustard.  It was a great compliment to some aged cheddar, providing a little sweet and a little vinegary pop.
