Kielbasa Bites
The Superbowl is just around the corner and if you are a football fan you might be planning your menu already. I will tell you right up front that I am not a sports fan. Andy, however, is but he is not fanatical. He’ll turn on a game on Sundays or Monday night and watch…
Aioli and more
Have you been to a french fry places and been overwhelmed at all of the dipping sauce choices? If you are like me, you get a bit of each to try and then go back for your favorites. One of my favorites is garlic aioli. It is a traditional mayonnaise based Mediterranean sauce or dip,…
Guacamole
Avocados are hands down one of my favorite fruits. They are so versatile and have such a mild flavor that you can eat them with so many things. Of course one of my favorite ways to eat them is to make guacamole. I will be honest, I don’t usually measure any of the ingredients I…
Apple Fritters
Did you get to go to an orchard and pick apples this fall? I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. One of my few memories of MA is going to an orchard in the fall and learning how they press apples to make apple cider. It was fascinating to me and something I will never forget. …
Irish Nachos
I am definitely a nacho girl. I could eat nachos for pretty much every meal. Add potatoes to the nachos and I am sold. The first time I had Irish Nachos was at a fish restaurant as an appetizer. It was so good, I could have just kept eating them for the whole meal. Since…
Artichoke Dip
A friend of my mother-in-law gave Andy and I this recipe for our wedding. It came in a box with two cans of artichokes and garlic powder. How cute is that? And how did she know that this would soon become one of my go-to recipes for parties? I’ve tweaked it a little over the…
Fruit Dip
This is a super easy fruit dip recipe. Only three ingredients! If you want to add a little something to your fruit tray, give it a try! Creamy, sweet, with a hint of orange. A sweet addition to a fruit tray.
Zucchini Fries
In my opinion, this is the best way to eat zucchini. Not the healthiest, but the best. What food doesn’t taste better fried, right? This is breaded, crispy goodness. Dip it in some marinara, even better! When I made these a few weeks ago, Luke made his own pretty impressive creation. I think he’s got…
Southwest Ranch Dressing/Dip
I have a love affair with ranch dressing. Seriously! It began in Tallahassee, FL. Sara Gutauskas and I were at band camp (yes, I actually went to band camp) at FSU and we ordered pizza from Gumby’s. It came with a ranch dipping cup. I had never dipped my pizza in ranch before this, but…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
