I think Crostini is one of the best little appetizers, ever. It’s so versatile and tasty… and who doesn’t love an appetizer with bread? When the folks at The Wine Bar asked me to create an appetizer recipe that would pair well with Stark Raving Merlot Wine, I knew I wanted to do a Crostini. And [...]

Getting Dumped {Recipe: Crabby Dip}
I have never been a big cracker and dip person. In fact, if I’m going to eat dip, I want the vehicle to eat it with be a potato. Chips, fries… anything but a cracker, please! And I am a firm believer these days of using dips for more than just dips… more like dumps. [...]
Kraft Fresh Take Challenge {Recipe: Cheesy Bacon Bites}
Everything is better with bacon, right? I was recently challenged by Kraft to create a new appetizer using their Fresh Takes Cheddar Jack and Bacon cheese and breadcrumb mix. What could make a Cheddar Jack and Bacon better? More bacon, of course!
Bush’s Beans Recipe Exchange {Recipe: Chili Bean Cheese Queso}
I recently realized I do everything a bit backwards on my blog. While everyone has been posting their favorite super bowl recipes, I wait until the day after to share what I brought instead of what I would bring. I must be such a disappointment to those of you who plan ahead and scour [...]
$100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway {Recipe: Baked Alexia Onion Ring Dip}
Since joining the team at Alexia Foods as one of their blogger tastemakers, I’ve had a fun time trying to recreate old classic recipes using some of my favorite Alexia Food products.

Game Day With Alexia {Recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole Bites}
When I say “Game Day” you all know what I mean, right? It’s football time!! Game day extends past one day at our house to pretty much any day football is on. Some days friends or family join us in front of the TV (us meaning my husband and son) other days its just us. [...]
Cooking With Friends {Recipe: Bush’s Beans White Bean Bruschetta}
A little girlfriend therapy can go a long ways in getting your mind, energy and spirit back on track. That’s how I felt after spending last weekend with my friend, Amy. Late nights with wine, good conversation, laughter and great food. Really, really great food. And, really great conversation. And probably too much wine, but [...]
Simple Appetizer – Cheesy Shredded Chicken Bites
Do you all have big plans for the holiday weekend? If you are anything like us, you are taking advantage of the time off to spend as much time with family and friends as you can. Often times, this is a season for outdoor barbecues and cookouts, where friends gather together and everyone has the [...]
Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups
Pin It When I am asked to bring something to a party, I tend to be your main dish or dessert girl. For some reason, appetizers have never been my forte. This is why I challenged myself to spend more time this year perfecting my appetizer skills. It’s not like appetizers are all that hard [...]
