Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}
Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}. Crab Rangoon are such a favorite around here. We even make them from scratch from time to time. But that was before I served this dip to my family on Sunday and then again to my work family on Monday. I think we’ll be cutting corners (instead of individually folding and deep frying) and jump right to the good stuff from now on. It was a huge hit!!

Jalapeño Pulled Pork Loaded Nachos
I vowed to stay out of Publix for a week following the holidays. I called home as I entered the store to admit to my failures. The words on the other end were few. “Damn it Lib ;) Pick up a pork butt and I’ll forgive you.”

Spinach Phyllo Triangles {Step-by-Step}
Spinach Phyllo Triangles. Glorious buttery crispy pockets of cheesy spinachy love. This was the first dish I learned to make using phyllo dough. There was some trial and error as I recall, but now this dish is quite routine for me. While it does take a little more time to prepare than some appetizers, it is well worth it. And your guests will love them too.

Loaded Butternut Squash Chips
Loaded Butternut Squash Chips. Think loaded potato skins, but better. At least that’s how we felt about them. The hint of sweetness from the butternut squash was soooo good with the savory toppings. These made a fantastic and fun appetizer.

Maryland Crab Dip
We made this Maryland Crab Dip for last year’s Super Bowl game in honor of the Baltimore Ravens. It went great with our Cheesy Garlic & Herb Pull-Apart Bread made from a nice sourdough loaf in honor of the San Francisco 49ers. When I posted the pull apart bread recipe on Facebook last night, the crowd went wild…..for the Maryland Crab Dip :) So I got up this morning and made it just for you.

Apple Brickle Dip
Apple Brickle Dip should not be reserved for the Autumn season alone. Oh no, this bowl of yum is a great dip any time of year.

Friday Night Sliders {TGIF}
Friday Night Sliders. Because sometimes you just deserve a good burger!! When it comes to food I’m all about the package, the delivery if you will. So if there is a way to make a burger cute I’m all in. We have White Castle to thank for the slider revolution. And while their thin griddle-cooked patties have their place in history, they’re not my favorite. Don’t hate me.

Chipotle Smoked Cheddar Cheese Ball {with Bacon & Jalapeno}
Chipotle Smoked Cheddar Cheese Ball {with Bacon & Jalapeno}. I received an email several months ago from the marketing company for Kellogg’s asking if I’d like to sample their new bold cutting-edge Cheez-It product. Would I? You betcha.

Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella
Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella. I have seen some wonderful recipes lately for slow roasting tomatoes, like this one by The Foodie Physician. By cooking them low and slow you get a rich tomato flavor. They then can be used in dishes as you would sundried tomatoes. Delicious.
