Perhaps the easiest and tastiest St. Patrick's Day treat, Irish Potatoes are a no-cook candy that features cinnamon, coconut, and cream cheese. They're great for making with kids, giving as gifts, or devouring yourself (because let's be honest, you can't eat just one). WHAT ARE IRISH POTATOES? Let's get this out of the way: Contrary...
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...
Pumpkin Crumb Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SavorPumpkinSeason #CollectiveBias I’m entirely aware that it’s usually not a good thing to say that your breakfast was inspired by your dog’s food. But just hear me out for a second here. My girl Roux is a super-spoiled...
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...
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...
One Pot Creamy Jalapeno Popper Chicken and Rice
A lot of my recipes are born out of laziness.  Laziness or resourcefulness, depending on how you look at it. When I made this recipe, I was too resourceful to wash a ton of dishes. I was also too resourceful to drag myself out to the grocery store. I had a serious craving for One Pot Cheesy Chicken Taco Rice last week, but I found...
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! Such skill.  Look at the finesse with which James shows off this Slow Cooker Sweet Heat Kielbasa Dip.  Truly a thing of beauty. I'm not sure if I'm talking about his hand or the...
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...
Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Cookies
Everywhere you look this time of year, there's red and white--Â striped, dotted, or blocked together, running its way up candy canes and down pillars, and circling around knit scarves and Santa hats. So it's no surprise that a deep red, chewy cookie with swirls of sweet cream cheese and dots of white chocolate chips fit...
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....
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...
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. ...
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) One of my favorite things to do when I'm thinking up recipes is to randomly combine things that I love. As I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series, I knew I wanted to make something that resembled a football. ...
Buffalo Chicken Dip
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) So you love to serve buffalo chicken at your football gatherings? Well ditch the messy wings with dozens of bones and greasy fingers (which of course wind up being wiped on pillows and pant legs by the less cleanly guests) and try this cheesy, flavorful...
