Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I signed up to bring a dip into daycare for my daughter's Christmas Party today. I hate sending in premade dips and other goodies, so I decided to finally make this red beet hummus recipe I have had in my recipe box for over a year. It's very easy and the hummus is a gorgeous… Continue reading Red Beet Hummus
This was my first attempt at canning and I was totally nervous! I am making treat baskets for my daughter's daycare teachers...more to come on them... and wanted to make something different. This recipe was very easy and I can't wait to try it with some crusty bread! I'm excited to do more canning next… Continue reading Cranberry Chutney
Every year, my parent's friends have a holiday party and we've gone for many years. It's always a great time and a chance to try out a new recipe. I wanted a simple and unique appetizer. There's always a ton of desserts so I knew that was out! I was a little worried about the… Continue reading Cream Cheese, Feta & Cranberry Pinwheels
I had these appetizers bookmarked since the first time I visited Tasty Kitchen and I had the perfect event to try them out. This weekend was our town's halloween parade - which everyone takes very seriously! People start saving spots on the sidewalk the night before (and earlier if they can get away with it!). It… Continue reading Cheese Pops
My daughter and I went grocery shopping yesterday and there was a rack of recipes. I saw this one for peanut butter dip and figured it would be another way to add protein to my daughter's snacks.

My sister-in-law Lindsay invited us over for New Year's Day dinner and I brought a couple appetizers for us to snack on before our dinner of pork & sauerkraut was ready (hoping for some luck this year!). I made my usual creamy chicken cups and Pioneer Woman's Brie Stuffed Mushrooms. PW was right, you need… Continue reading Brie Stuffed Mushrooms
My daughter's daycare was having a holiday party and I was trying to think outside the box and decided on making pinwheels. After browsing Pillsbury's site, I came across this recipe. They smelled so good - unfortunely I forgot to keep one to try myself! I doubled the recipe to make 32 pieces. 1 can… Continue reading Bacon-Cheddar Pinwheels
Ok, it's been awhile since I posted a new recipe. Things have been a little crazy around here - I was sick and Madeline was sick over the last 2 weeks so I didn't do much baking or cooking. But....I'm back with a couple new recipes! This week is my company's pot luck luncheon. I… Continue reading Spinach Balls
