Sweet, salty, and cloud-like, this creamy Honey-Whipped Feta Dip is almost unbelievably good-- especially considering it only takes 5 minutes to make. Serve it as an appetizer at your next party or holiday get-together, or whip up a batch for yourself to spread on toasted bread or fresh pita. I’ve been making Whipped Feta Dip...

Garlicky Feta Dip
If you're looking for a great easy appetizer, try Garlicky Feta Dip. This simple, creamy dip is tangy, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser. James now calls this "Trust Your Gut Dip", which is probably a catchier name for it, truth be told. The story behind it is that I've been making this Garlicky Feta Dip...

Chorizo Queso Dip
No kidding: Today, I ran into my friend's mom at the grocery store and, unprompted, she told me that she wants a taco bar and queso fountain at her 50th birthday party this year. With-- I quote-- "none of that processed cheese shit." And I was like, "Stephanie, I got you. Check out my blog...

This recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Dip Baked Potatoes has also been featured on Serious Eats. Have any of you ever done those DNA heritage tests? I did, mainly to try to fill in gaps in my family tree (which I've been working on for eons), and to figure out what debilitating diseases I'm at a...
Buffalo Chicken Dip Stuffed Bread
Listen, I'm not saying that this Buffalo Chicken Dip Stuffed Bread has magical powers or anything... but I've made it for every single game since my Homegate several weeks ago and now my team is going to the Super Bowl, baby! Some people have pregame rituals. Some have lucky outfits. I have an ultra...

Hot Cajun Crab Dip
Call me a bad influence if you must, but I'm going to distract you all from your kale for a second and present you with this flavor-packed, melty, decadent crab dip. Reasons that I don't feel bad about eating all of the leftover Hot Cajun Crab Dip yesterday: I went on a 5 mile walk...
5 Ingredient Cheddar Bacon Horseradish Dip
I'd say that right around the time that someone literally lifts the entire bowl of dip from the buffet area and sneaks it over to their own table, it becomes acceptable to pat yourself on the back for making a damn good recipe. Or at least that's what I told myself as I eyed my 5 Ingredient...
Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Basil Bean Dip
It used to be that if you said the words "bean dip" to me, my mind would immediately go to Mexican-spiced refried beans, all warmed up so that the cheese is perfectly melted and oozy over chips. But now that-- as Nelly would so eloquently say-- it's getting hot in here, the idea of keeping dips warm for a...
Salted Caramel S'more Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Chips
Hold on to your sweet tooth, because this dip is all dressed up and ready to party. James-- being the resident dessert-fiend-in-chief that he is-- has been asking me to make something sugary for, gosh, probably two months now. But since I'm selfish and prefer salty foods usually inspired by more savory ideas, I just finally got around...
Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip
I trust you've pulled through your tryptophan-induced coma, and that's why you're here today, searching for something to shake things up after a week of Thanksgiving flavors. Friend, I feel ya. How's Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip sound to you? Personally, my fancy is so tickled by the 3 types of cheese, caramelized fruit, smoky cured pork, Caribbean...
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Dog Dip
Over 2 years ago, I made a Chili Cheese Dog Dip that would haunt me until this very day. Not because it wasn't delicious (trust me, it was), but because every single time I would ask James, "Guess what I'm making this week," he would guess Chili Cheese Dog Dip. Every. Time. I eventually stopped asking...
Sweet Chili Crab Dip
Sure, I sometimes like to go all out, but I much more often prefer some demi-cheeked fanciness. Bringing out the nice wine glasses with the takeout Chinese food, the nail polish stickers that make it look like you went to the salon recently, nibbling on Texas caviar, you know, that kind of stuff. It's really all about enjoying...
Eggplant Parmesan Dip
How do you reform an eggplant hater? Apparently you slather the stuff in tomato sauce and mozzarella, as I learned with James a few years back. After trying eggplant parm once, he went from pushing away any dish that had the vegetable in it to begging for baba ghanoush every week. We eat a ton of...
Chorizo, Caramelized Onion, and Poblano Sausage Rolls with Creamy Cilantro Dip
I have an almost impressive ability to polish off whole trays of pigs in a blanket in seconds flat. It's not at all uncommon to catch me lingering by the appetizer spread at a party, eradicating the bite-sized cocktail sausages before anyone else gets an opportunity to enjoy them. I try to be discreet. I try to have...
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread
I hope I never go through another bad break-up. I certainly don't plan to. But if the unfortunate day comes when I'm licking my emotional wounds while watching Pretty Woman and ugly-crying on the couch, I will break one break-up stereotype: I'll stay away from the Ben & Jerry's. I'll make myself this Spinach and Artichoke Dip...
Baked Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dip
This year, Chick-Fil-A took the title of the fast food restaurant with the highest customer satisfaction, based off of a survey of just over 5,000 consumers. You might say it's due to their friendly staff, or perhaps their clean kitchens, but I say it's all about the chicken nuggets. Those crispy, salty, slightly-sweet Chick-Fil-A...
Crispy Salami Chips with Warm Muffuletta Dip
You know how, on the best pizza slices, the pepperoni forms little cups that get super crunchy along the edges and it's the most delicious thing to ever happen to cured meat? Or when you get the entire strip of bacon (including the fatty streaks) to get crispy without burning it, and it's like a...
Chipotle Ranch Chicken & Avocado Potstickers with Cilantro Lime Dip
Crispy bottoms and chewy tops make potstickers one of my favorite ways to eat appetizers. I don't just mean Asian-inspired appetizers, either; People typically think of potstickers as being filled with gingery pork, scallions, and cabbage, but you really can put anything in them! This time, I decided to go with a Tex Mex flavored...
Slow Cooker Sweet Heat Kielbasa Dip
Happy Friday!  Happy Super Bowl Weekend!  Happy birthday to my wonderful hand model / reflector board holder / taste-tester / incredibly patient boyfriend!

5 Ingredient Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip
I don't know if Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip would typically fall in the Super Bowl Snack category, but I'm here to say that it should.  It should be available at every party.  It should be omnipresent. This is the kind of dip that people eat once and get hooked on, because it's so simple to make but...
Cajun Shrimp Dip
A few months ago, on the Host the Toast facebook page, I asked people what their favorite recipes on the web were.  I got some great responses from people telling me about "Chocolate Lasagna" and "Banana French Toast Cupcakes" and other things that are making me too hungry to think about on a Monday morning. Then,...
Slow Cooker Sausage, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about that Spinach and Artichoke Dip Alfredo I made last year.  And the oft requested Crab and Artichoke Dip.  Oh, and Spinach Dip Bites, too!  Mainly because they're all freakin' delicious, but also because I have an obsession with any recipe that uses a ton of cheese, spinach, and/or artichokes....
Rosemary Olive Oil Crock Pot Bread, Take 2! Plus a recipe for Olive Oil Herb Dip
As I write this post, there is a photo over on the right-hand side of the blog, staring me in the face, right down into the depths of my soul. Â It's a photo that I am totally not proud of in any way, shape or form. Â It's a photo that I have GOT to get...
Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Corn Dip
] And so it has begun. Every 3 minutes, James has been getting notifications from ESPN about another football player who is injured and out for the season, roster projections, and anything that might even mildly pertain to football in some obscure way. He keeps patiently explaining to me every single thing that I somehow forgot...
Pull-Apart Pretzel Skillet with Beer Cheese Dip
Today I was planning on posting a different recipe, but I'm feeling very German at the moment so pretzels and beer were a must. By "feeling very German", I mean that my whole house is now obsessed with DuoLingo (if you want to learn a language, look it up, it's free and I've been using...
Chicken, Spinach, & Poblano Empanadas with Avocado-Jalapeno Dip
It's been an exciting week for me. My cousin Ashley, who I've mentioned a couple times since I started posting on this blog, got married on Saturday. I don't know if I'm more excited about that or absolutely freaked out that I'm now at the age where my friends are all getting married (I have...
Cheesy Crab and Artichoke Dip
Even before this dip was ready, I was hovering by the oven, mouth watering, impatiently waiting to dig in and burn the absolute life out of my mouth. Â I knew it was going to be good. Â It was loaded up with cheese, lump crab meat, and artichokes. Â There was no way it was going to...
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
There is not enough coffee in the world to save me today. I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday to get my cooking done (look out for the Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe coming up-- it should be illegal, it's so sinfully good) and then took a long, hurried drive/train ride to Newark for...
Baba Ghanoush (Roasted Eggplant Dip)
A few weeks ago, in the Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Piccata post, I mentioned that James and I went on a trip to DC  because he won an online poker tournament.  What I didn't have a chance to mention mention is that while we were down there, we had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant called...
Cannoli Dip
A few years ago, my then-roommate Allison and I were broke college students who could barely afford to pay our rent and cable bills, let alone buy anything for anyone else. When we realized Father's Day was just around the corner, we panicked a bit. Dads are hard enough to shop for in the first...
Chili Cheese Dog Dip
For me, football season has always been about the dips. In fact, when I was just getting interested in cooking, I made a few trays of dip for a Super Bowl party at my years-later-to-be-boyfriend's fraternity house, and he even just recently reminded me of how kick-ass it was and how quickly it was devoured. ...
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Alfredo
If you were reading last week, you already know about my tendency to eat appetizers for dinner, which is exactly what inspired me to make this meal. Spinach and Artichoke Dip is up there on the all-time-appetizer-favorites list for pretty much everyone I know, including James, who claims to hate artichokes. Side note: I say...
Pork Potstickers with Spicy Dipping Sauce
(Part of the Chinese New Year Theme Thursday Series) My Grandma Sandy is Chinese, and I have grown up lucky enough to eat authentic Chinese food on many occasions. My family requests that we get a batch of her creations all the time... maybe too often. The most beloved of her treats are the...
