Sriracha Deviled Eggs

Sriracha Deviled Eggs

Sriracha Deviled Eggs. The classic recipe gets a kick from some spicy sriracha.

Rosemary and Cranberry Spread

Rosemary and Cranberry Spread

I have always had a fondness for cream cheese spreads. They are super easy to make and you can add just about any flavor that you like. Take this recipe for instance. After making my Spinach, Arugula, Cranberry and Walnut Salad, I have discovered a new found love for dried cranberries and the sweetness that [...]

Hot Nacho Dip

Hot Nacho Dip

Who doesn’t love nachos? I mean seriously, what is not to love about a big plate of chips covered with cheese, meat, beans, tomatoes, olives and jalapenos? Now, imagine with me for a moment that you remove the chips from the equation and take all of those wonderful goodies that you usually pile on top [...]

Shrimp and Vegetable Wontons

Shrimp and Vegetable Wontons

Whether it is crab, jalapeno or pork I usually always have some frozen wontons waiting to be plucked from my freezer and tossed into the fryer on a moments notice.  I say usually because to my utter dismay, when I opened my freezer to grab some for dinner last week, I realized I was out. [...]

Deep Fried Pickles

Deep Fried Pickles

Some of you may be saying to yourselves, “what on earth is she thinking? She wants me to do what? Fry what?” But I ask you to hear me out on this one. They probably do sound a little odd to those of you that have never thought of frying a pickle and I’ll admit [...]

Baked Pita Chips

Baked Pita Chips

Last week when I made Roasted Garlic Hummus I knew exactly what I wanted with it: pita chips. Crispy, perfectly seasoned pita chips. While it would’ve been easy to head to the chip aisle at the grocery store and buy a bag of pita chips, I decided that I should stick with the “homemade” theme [...]

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Hummus is another one of those dips that I just can’t get enough of. And much like my experience with french onion dip, my purchases of hummus have gotten a little out of control. So just as I created my own version of  Caramelized French Onion Dip, I decided to make my own hummus. Roasted [...]

Beef Samosas

Beef Samosas

Since I started blogging dining at restaurants has not been the same. I use to order, wait patiently and then enjoy my meal while engaging in whatever conversation was taking place. Now however, when I take my first bite,  I don’t have much time to savor it before I immediately start thinking to myself “How [...]

Truffle Popcorn

Truffle Popcorn

One of the souvenirs I happened to pick up while I was in Italy was truffle salt. I blame the store manager for placing the glass jar right at my nose level so that when I walked by the wonderful smell of truffles filled my nose making it nearly impossible to resist. Once I got [...]

Herb Garlic Bread

Herb Garlic Bread

When I made the Creamy Herb Fettuccine that I shared yesterday, it seemed only logical to me to make some crunchy garlic bread. Can you think of a better way to soak up some of that wonderful creamy sauce? I can’t. And since I already had some fresh herbs why not add them to the [...]
