FTW – Football, Friends and Food!
For most of us, football is a weekend ritual. As I mentioned in my pigskin post on Game Day Dips, I'm a football-loving girl. And I love the combo of football, friends and food. The games are always more fun when you're crowded around the television, together with your friends. Whether you actually watch the game or you prefer to just socialize - it's fun to do it up a bit. When it's your turn to host the gang, decorate your digs in a football t... Read More
Shrimp Nacho Bites
This delish shrimp party app looks all fancy pants, but it's actually easy peasy. I’m on a bit of a streak lately, due to my extraordinarily conflicted nature. I love love love hearty, meaty or cheesy cocktail party appetizers …. But I hate how they look on my buffet table. Think about it …. The bread bowl with the artichoke dip looks rather dilapidated moments after it arrives at the table. 7-layer dip, don’t even get me started. Queso... Read More
Roasted Beet Nachos
The Fourth of July is usually filled with great BBQ eats: hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, macaroni salad are the go to eats.

Sweet Potato Chips & Sambal Cheese Sauce
The easy, creamy cheese sauce in this recipe gets its kick from spicy Asian chili sauce. Here, I used sambal, a traditional combination of fiery chilies and garlic, but you could also use smooth sriracha—also known as “rooster sauce, “ because of the rooster image commonly found in its green-capped bottle. Essentially, this is a fun take on ballpark nachos. In place of the traditional tortilla chips, I used homemade crispy sweet potat... Read More
Edamame Nacho Dip
Edamame are quite the rage these days. Most of us only know them from the appetizer menu of our favorite Japanese restaurant, but even people who aren't crazy about tofu love nibbling on those salty little soy bean pods while waiting for their sushi to arrive. If your eyes just glazed over a little, don't worry, I've got something everyone can understand: edamame nacho dip. Most people just go with hummus when they think “edamame... Read More
