Slow Cooker Queso Blanco. This velvety, rich cheese dip is just as good– if not better– than the kind you get from your favorite Mexican restaurant. Serve it straight from the slow cooker (where it will keep warm) at a party, or ladle over nachos. Somewhere around the point of “8 pounds of cheese down”,…
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…
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…
Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket
Narrowing down my Super Bowl menu has been next to impossible this year. Not only because I think I have some seriously scrumptious recipes in my repertoire (so humble, I know), but mainly because I am the most indecisive human of all time. For evidence of this, take note of the post from earlier this…
Baked Boneless Wings 4 Ways
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, I’ve been craving one thing for weeks: wings. Or more accurately, boneless wings, which aren’t really chicken wings at all– they’re chunks of chicken breast which are prepared in the traditional wing fashion. That is to say that they’re crispy and coated with flavorful sauce, but with…
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…
Buffalo Chicken & Ranch Potato Croquettes
This post has been a loooong time coming. It was 2014 and the World Cup was being held in Brazil when I heard about coxhina for the first time. The teardrop-shaped street food typically consists of a fried potato dough exterior and creamy, shredded chicken filling. It’s extremely popular in Brazil, and extremely delicious. Or so…
French Onion Beef Sliders For A Crowd
They may be small, but these French Onion Beef Sliders will be a huge hit with the crowd at your next party. Seasoned and buttery buns are packed with caramelized onions, melted cheese, and flavorful ground beef to create the sort of appetizer that flies off of the plate. Daaaamn, Morgan! Back at it again…
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.
Loaded Pizza Nachos with Creamy Garlic White Sauce
I never thought I’d be caught up in a love triangle, but if you try to make me choose between a bunch of nachos and couple of slices of pizza (both of which are conveniently triangle-shaped, I might add), things are going to get reaaal emotional up in here. Nachos, pizza, and I have enjoyed many…
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…
Easy Cheesy Pretzel Sticks
This certainly isn’t the first time I’ve made soft pretzels for the blog. (Proceed with caution, there’s a flood of old posts ahead.) There’s been pretzel buns, pretzel dogs, pretzel skillets, pretzel pinwheels, pretzel bread, and chicken cheesesteaks served on– you guessed it– pretzel rolls. It’s also not the first time I’ve professed my undying love for…
