Clams Casino Dip
Clams Casino Dip. The retro hors d’ouerve is transformed into a creamy, easy-to-make dip complete with a bacon-panko topping. This recipe for Clams Casino Dip was also featured on Serious Eats. Clams Casino– the flavorful, open-faced clams with bacon-spiked breadcrumbs– is a dish I’ve spent almost all of my life eating. My dad always ordered…
Quick and Easy Garlic Butter Stromboli Squares
Quick and Easy Garlic Butter Stromboli Squares. This no-fuss party appetizer is loaded with mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, and ham, and topped with a garlicky butter and parmesan mixture. This is one of those recipes I talk about sometimes that almost doesn’t make it to the blog because it’s so simple that it’s almost silly-feeling to…
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread. This is one of my most popular easy recipes, and for good reason. With sweet, fall-spiced apples, fluffy biscuit layers, and a delicious vanilla glaze, this pull-apart bread is always a hit. After making Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread a few years back (don’t tease me for the bad pictures, that post needs to…

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…

Green Chile Chicken Quesadilla Sticks
You could say that I’m extra invested in football season this year. The guys got NFL Sunday Ticket so we now get all of the games at home, I finally formed my own fantasy football league, and most importantly, I actually took time in the off-season to study up so I kinda know what I’m…
Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs
When I was reading my list of upcoming recipes aloud for James, he stopped me at this one. “That sounds like a great snack for poker night with the guys,” he hinted. (He is so subtle, isn’t he?) But I had big, estrogen-packed plans for these Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs: I was going to…
Bacon Beer Cheese Bread Bowl
For those of us who are blindly flailing our way through life (yes, I’m including myself here), it’s nice to have a couple of life pro tips in our back pockets. This is especially true when it comes to party planning. After all, one of the worst times to crash and burn is when you have a…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Garlic Bread
So I’ve seemingly tripped at the entrance of 2017 and fallen clean past the “healthy eating of the New Year” phase, straight down to the foot of Super Bowl snack-time. Oh nooooo… ? Ah, I can’t even pretend to be bummed about it.
Smoky Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus
This might sound strange coming from the girl who just posted a recipe for Loaded Pizza Nachos (and spent the entirety of the post passionately declaring her love for cheese-covered triangles), but my favorite food to make is actually healthy food. Wait, let me rephrase that. My favorite is the kind that’s flavorful, comforting, and healthy. No, make that flavorful,…
4 Must-Make Salsas
Can we have a moment of silence for all of the snack aisle salsas that’ll get tossed from the refrigerator shelves to the trash bins right after people have a taste of these aptly named, homemade, Must-Make Salsas?
Baked Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Bites
I just pulled (what I’m pretty sure is) my first all-nighter since college to get this post to you today, and I’ve gotta say, I’m pumped about it. The recipe required a lot of tweaking and testing throughout the week, as well as a lot of blood, sweat, and tears as I’ve tried to figure out why my computer and…
Loaded Nacho Bombs
Nachos are pretty much the quintessential football food. They’re tortilla chips piled high with seasoned ground beef and refried beans, blanketed in melted cheese and salsa, and topped with sour cream– what’s not to love about that, right? Besides the fact that the toppings nearly never wind up evenly distributed, of course. And how the chips…
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…
