Smoked Gouda Risotto is fancy yet approachable. It’s creamy and cheesy and super simple to make. It is sure to please the whole family. Joel and I enjoy watching Hell’s Kitchen for all the ridiculous yelling and silly punishments and all the risotto they make. We have been watching it the past few seasons and

Cucumber Dip
This cucumber dip is by far my absolute favorite dip EVER! And I mean it! It’s actually one of my favorite foods/dishes ever. It’s cool, refreshing, creamy and to die for slathered on a cracked pepper and olive oil triscuit. It is always my go to dip when I need a quick and easy crowd
The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg
I don’t know about you, but whenever I made hard-boiled eggs for salads or deviled eggs I always ended up with a unappetizing gray ring around the yolk. This also meant overcooked, dryness that was hard to get past. Luckily, I came across this little tip a year or so ago in my Betty Crocker
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo Chicken Dip is always the hit of the party. Spicy, creamy and totally addicting. I could absolutely eat this dip with a spoon. Yep, might have done it. This was the perfect dip for the Super Bowl party we hosted and it disappeared incredibly quickly. If you enjoy chicken wings you will definitely love
Spider Eggs
Today I wanted to bring you all another Halloween recipe with Spider Eggs. Sounds gross at first, right? But look at them…who knew spiders could be so precious? These would be such a fun treat to make with your kids then serve at your Halloween party. They would take such pride in helping assemble them and would
Chorizo Nachos
Simple Chorizo Nachos are just what your weekend needs. Spiced pinto beans, flavorful chorizo, melted cheese and spicy jalapenos all atop crispy tortilla chips. When I was a kid Friday’s were Nacho Night. I used to complain (shocking, right?) but now that I’ve grown up I get a little nostalgic thinking about those times I
Halloweenies {Crescent Mummy Dogs}
I love a themed meal (and sometimes go a tad overboard) and Halloween provides so many fun, creative ideas! So this month I will be bringing you main dishes, desserts, snacks and even a fun beverage for all your Halloween party needs! And first up is a family favorite, Halloweenies! Clever, I know. I made these for
Honey Garlic Meatballs
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I don’t think something is worth doing unless it is done exactly right. This causes a lot of stress in my life at times. I’m working on it. But in the meantime, I found a way to make uniformly sized
Cheesecake Filled Strawberries
I am a perfectionist. I expect everything to be done just right (especially when I am doing it myself). I put way too much stress on myself because I won’t let anyone help me, then it all builds up and I crack. This is something I’m trying to work on and admitting it should be
