Hi, guys! It's been about a year since I posted a recipe; It's been a tough time but we're seeing it through. It's spring-like here (some days, at least) and that always gets me thinking about picnics, days at the beach, and road trips.

Hey, guys! Today's post is a nom-nom personal-sized pizza recipe that's a copycat from a long-gone restaurant in Memphis. It's a flatbread pizza with a garlicky, herby, olive oil base, topped with tart red onions and dollops of creamy goat cheese. These little pizzas are quick and easy and perfect as appetizers or to serve on game day. They also make for a quick and easy meatless dinner option, too!

Today's post is a fun appetizer recipe. These little rolls are stuffed with spiced Italian Sausage and brushed with garlic butter and herbs for a mini bite with a big flavor. Serve them with marinara sauce to dip and you have a hit for your next get-together! They're so easy that you'll want any excuse to make them!

Hi, guys! As the holidays approach and I think about new dishes to serve at my own family gatherings, recipes like this emerge. It's not the usual savory dip recipe but goes well with savory dippers. This cream cheese dip is sweetened with honey and stuffed with chopped dried dates, apricots, figs, and cranberries, then drizzled in a little extra honey and garnished with more dried fruit and rosemary.

It's a hearty, creamy dip, and contains some good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel better about serving such a sweet treat! It's also great to make for those who are gluten-free, wheat-free, or who don't eat refined sugar. Keep reading for the recipe!

Hey, guys! It's been one crazy summer in our house, but a few days ago I got a craving for some Jalapeño Hummus and since this was a recipe I had promised to share, took some photos while I made it! This is a spicy hummus loaded with jalapeños, lime, garlic, and cumin, and cilantro can also be added for a fresh pop of flavor. It's a great dip for veggies, chips, crackers, or even bread, and is a great healthy snack. It's vegetarian and vegan, and it takes about 5 minutes to whip up!

Cinco de Mayo is drawing closer and I've got a great recipe for your celebrations: Elotes Fries! If you don't know what Elotes are, it's a cob of roasted corn, slathered with a lime & garlic cream and rolled in salty, crumbled cotija cheese, then sprinkled with chopped cilantro and it's commonly sold as street food in Mexico. It's ridiculously delicious and addictive and I've made them into a topping for fries. You're welcome. 😉

It's a great party or picnic food and can be ready in about 5 minutes!

I've got an easy recipe today that's sure to wow your cheese-loving holiday guests! It's a 3-tier Cheese Ball Tower and making it is super-simple because I'm using pre-made cheese balls paired with my own toppings. For my tiers, I've paired the sharp cheddar with nutty pecans, port wine with sweet and tart dried cherries, and the smoky bacon with crunchy almonds. I also made some cute cheese ball pinecones to decorate the tray with and I'll show you how to make it all in the post below!

It has been in the 90's all week here and I don't know about you but I'll do anything I can not to heat up the kitchen any more than I have to and this Tuna Salad is the perfect way to have quick, cold sandwiches for lunch or dinner. Also, they're perfect for picnics!

I worked on this recipe for years and finally found the perfect mix of tart and sweet, creamy and crunchy that my family absolutely loves. This tuna salad is made with hard-boiled eggs, diced sweet pickles (trust me), mayo, and lots of lemon juice, but there's one secret ingredient that takes it from bland to flavorful in a snap.

I am a sucker for hummus, and recently I was inspired by one of my favorite snacks to create a new flavor with an Italian twist: a Zesty Garlic, Tomato & Basil Hummus, and it is delicious! Hummus is such an easy dip to make as it just gets thrown into a blender or food processor and there are so many ways to snack with it. I'll give you my recipe and show you just how easy it is to have a tasty, better-for-you dip in minutes and this one is perfect for a crowd!

With a husband who is a sports fanatic, I have a ball (womp, womp) coming up with ways to make game days more delicious. With the 2017 soccer tournaments coming up, I couldn't wait to dive into some international fare. With Modelo as the official beer of the Beautiful Game, I thought elotes would be the perfect pairing.

A date night in can be a fun way to reconnect, especially when the eats are as yummy as this. I'm going all out and instead of a still wine, I'm serving an amazing Brut Rosé sparkling wine along with a dish of steamed artichokes with a Mock Hollandaise. What is a Mock Hollandaise? It's easier to make, has less calories, but is still just as rich and delicious as the original.

Summer is the time when people want to get out there, so it makes sense that it's also the time when we get the most visitors. Friends, family, and neighbors all drop by when the weather gets nice and no matter what you have in the fridge, you can feed your last-minute company in style as long as you have a box of TRISCUIT crackers in your pantry. Today I'm making the Avomangsalscuit (avocado+mango+salsa) with creamy avocado slices, juicy, sweet mango slices, and a spicy black bean and corn salsa. It's a winning combination that will make your guests think you planned it. Let's Make ‘Scuit Happen.

March is one of my husband's favorite times of year. Is it because the weather is warming and spring is in the air? Nope. It's college basketball tournament time. He loves the games, I love the get-togethers. This year, I'm taking our entertaining up a notch with drinks and a spread that are a little more chic for a get-together that's perfect for the grown-ups. Keep reading for my Honey Apricot Almond Cheese Round recipe (the savory and sweet together is amazing!) and the fun printables I used in my own setup.
