Garlic & Herb Dipping Oil for Bread
Mix fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil to make this flavorful oil for dipping fresh bread. If you remember my February Favorites or follow my Instagram stories, you might know I’ve been working my way through a bread cookbook. I’ve made a total of 14 (?!) loaves of bread, and I have several more to…
Cranberry Salsa
With ingredients like fresh cranberries, jalapeños, green pepper, and lime juice, this Cranberry Salsa offers a colorful dip that’s sweet with a touch of tartness and mild spice.

Vegetable Spring Rolls with Spicy Ginger Peanut Sauce
Taste the rainbow with this colorful spring roll recipe loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables, all wrapped inside clear rice paper. Spring rolls are a food I don’t make very often, but when I come across my stash of rice paper (that I always forget I have), I try to stock up on fresh…
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Try this meatball version of buffalo chicken wings for a lighter dish that can be served as an appetizer or turned into a full meal. It’s a shame that football season is over, because I have the perfect addition to any game day food menu. Alright, even though I’m not a huge sports fan (unless I’m out there…
Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Almonds
Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with almonds are a party-pleasing appetizer that blends both sweet and salty flavors. Fact: sometimes delicious food does’t look very pretty. I’ve never thought dates looked very appetizing, but I’ve been all about them lately. Aside from using them in various no-bake protein ball recipes—like my Coconut, Almond & Date Energy Bites—one of my…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
Pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavors take the spotlight in this festive dip, with cream cheese and Cool Whip creating the creamy base. Five years ago (almost to the day) I shared this recipe with the world. Pumpkin and cream cheese blended together in a decadent, creamy dip. It is seriously so addicting. I’ve made it…

Creamy Taco Dip
Back in the day, I was absolutely obsessed with taco dip. The local grocery store sold this stuff that I could seriously not get enough of. I found a recipe recently that seemed similar so I tried my hand at it yesterday to bring to a get together we went to. I made it a…

Cranberry Pistachio Goat Cheese Log
I have a colorful, festive appetizer to share with you today—it’s a recipe I’ve made the past few years that I absolutely love. Goat cheese “logs” are a pretty common concept—you just roll goat cheese in the “toppings” of your choosing. I’m all about the flavor/texture/color of dried cranberries plus chopped pistachios though. I’ve tweaked…
