Yummy little eggies

You know how people say that you should leave well enough alone?  Well this is an example of a time when those people were wrong.  I’m all for a traditional deviled egg, but sometimes you can make good even better.  The addition of pork products almost always helps achieve near perfection.  Case in point?  Cajun […]

Easy little appie

I’m fortunate enough to have many amazing women in my life.  One of which, Nancy, is like a second Mom to me.  Nancy is amazing in the kitchen.  She makes a homemade spaghetti sauce that is requested at least once a month, every month, by family and friends.

Hummus a la the Bestie

When it comes down to it, my bestie is really far more impressive in the kitchen than I am.  One of the reasons I’m always so impressed with her is that she keeps things simple, while still maintaining their fabulousness.  I, on the other hand, am always going WAY over board and am guaranteed to […]

Grape Tomato Bruschetta

I don’t even like tomatoes.  So saying that I looooooove this bruschetta is definitely saying something.  It’s super fast, oober pretty, not AS unhealthy as most of the other crap that I’m usually making, and it’s one of those appetizers that just about everyone will enjoy.

Healthy, Easy, Yum: What more could you want?

Since I know all of you AMAZING readers immediately went from reading my Tapenade-Stuffed Salmon recipe, straight to your kitchen and tested it out for yourselves, you (like me) probably have tons of leftover, delicious tapenade and were just itching to use the remainder of the delicious, savory concoction… right?  Well, maybe that’s wishful thinking.

Marty’s Pepperoni Bread

I both love and hate my cousin Marty for sharing this recipe with me.  On one hand- it’s absolutely delicious.  It’s a never-fail, crowd pleasing, gone 5 minutes after being served, appetizer that is guaranteed to get oohs, aahs and nom nom noms.  On the other hand, it may single handedly clog my arteries and […]
