Are you tired of cheesy, spicy, heavy dips? This cucumber dip is a light and refreshing classic, perfect for summer. Frito Lay sent me this wonderful recipe. I’ve had the recipe in the past with sour cream, but never thought to do it with Greek yogurt. It tastes great, is very simple, and nutritious. We [...]

Spinach artichoke dip is my favorite appetizer dip. We first started having it in restaurants, but there were so many versions that were just downright bad. I remember ordering a spinach artichoke dip at a restaurant that was so greasy and disgusting, I had to send it back, and I hate sending things back to [...]

I have read about this wonderful 7 layer dip all over the internet as being retro. Well, this dip is new to me, since I never had it until I was in my twenties. When I first spotted this at a potluck, I was entranced. Everyone seem to gather around it, and it was devoured [...]

My husband and I love jalapeno poppers so much. There is a restaurant here in the Orlando area, and the only reason we go is for there wonderful jalapeno poppers. Everything else on the menu is practically inedible, but the poppers are nearly perfect. They make them with fresh jalapenos. I have been afraid to [...]

This is a delicious dish perfect as an appetizer or main course. We had bacon wrapped shrimp at two of our favorite restaurants on our recent trip to Gatlinburg over the Christmas holiday. My son loved them so much, I decided to recreate them at home. They were too easy to make. All you have [...]

Silly me, after seeing everyone’s great recipes for pumpkin seeds, I realized I am one of the few cooks who roast the seeds the lazy way! In most recipes, you either wash or boil [...]

My version of hummus has a bit more texture than a traditional hummus. Making your own will allow you to puree your hummus till you get it just the way you like it. I don’t like creamy pureed foods, unless it is a pureed soup, and even then, I have to have some type of [...]

This is a delicious variation of my families classic butter palm biscuit recipe. It is very simple to make and full of flavor. I made these for my husband on Father’s day, and they were gone by the afternoon, he could not stop munching on them. And these are a lot easier to make at [...]

Buffalo wings are a classic American appetizer. They are loved by many people, and the method of cooking is greatly debated. In my home, the one thing we can agree on is that hot wings should always be fried naked. Never breaded, steamed, baked, or roasted. Really, hot wings are already not the healthiest thing [...]

These are better than any take out you will ever have. The spicy mustard recipe that follows is probably more German inspired, than Asian, but it sure is tasty with these egg-rolls. This is a combination of one of my husband’s dishes and my neighbor’s that I have improved on. My neighbor also made these [...]
