Appetizers & Snacks
Festive Chunky Cheese Spread
Festive Chunky Cheese Spread is, by far, one of my favorite appetizers to serve on special occasions or just for fun at home. I have a fun memory attached to the first time that I tasted this. My good friend Elsa and I had decided to start a Christmas tradition...
Pepper Popper Dip
Pepper Popper Dip is an easy and delicious way to enjoy "stuffed" peppers. Being a mostly keto/low-carb eater, I'm always on the lookout for any recipe or dish that will allow me to feel like I'm really treating myself. But for sure, it's got to be easy if I'm...
Prosciutto-Wrapped Pepper Poppers
Let's all make up a batch of Prosciutto-Wrapped Pepper Poppers to celebrate National Pepper Month! Personally, I am still harvesting my green and orange mini peppers from the garden, plus I added a few red and yellow ones from the store. I needed a good...
Savory Ham & Cheese Sliders

Quick Caprese Snack Plate
I threw this Quick Caprese Snack Plate together for lunch one day. I have been wanting to have something Caprese for a while, which is the main reason that I grow basil in my garden. We also planted some cute yellow cherry tomatoes, which actually turn orange...
Olive Cheese Balls
This Olive Cheese Balls recipe has been patiently waiting to be posted since I watched the "Very Brady Renovation" episodes on HGTV . Brady Bunch fans, did you get to watch those? Oh my heart. My sisters and I loved that show! The 70's wouldn't...
Corn Dog Bites
These Corn Dog Bites are very versatile! We had a pack of hot dogs in the fridge that I really needed to do something with. I found this recipe in a magazine somewhere--probably Better Homes & Gardens. Use #1--we have a way to take care of that extra pack of...
Bread & Butter Pickles
As pickles go, Bread & Butter Pickles are probably my favorite, although I do like the sliced Clausen dill pickles on sandwiches. I like the crunch and they have the perfect "dill-ness". Anyway, back to the Bread & Butter Pickles--and have you ever...
