Appetizers & Snacks
Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips
I’m happy to say that the first post of 2014 is a healthy one! I’ve been looking for a healthy snack to satisfy the sugary cravings I’ve been getting lately. These apple chips are the perfect thing to munch on when the mood strikes. I feel less guilty eating apples with a touch of sugar…
Pumpkin Shaped Cheese Ball
Halloween is 10 days away, and I’m sure lots of you are planning parties for this weekend, or perhaps having potlucks at work the day of. So I figured I would get this fun idea up on the blog sooner than later. In my office, our team does a food day on the first Wednesday…
French Onion Soup Bites
I recently went out with friends to a new restaurant in town called Birmingham’s Vodka and Ale House and they had a version of these on their menu. We ordered them and fell in love immediately and knew it would be a breeze to make at home. Admittedly, they are a bit time consuming, but completely…
Cheesy Pork Wonton Cups
About 10 years ago, a co-working of mine made these for a work potluck and I easily ate 6 or 7 of them and pestered her until she shared her recipe. Now these little cups filled with cheese and sausage are a staple at all potlucks or gatherings that I attend. Most times, my friends…
Beer-Cheese Potato Bites
I bought a small bag of those super cute little potatoes the other day. You know the kind; grossly overpriced because they are super cute and little (and maybe because they pre-wash them and package them in a bag). Regardless, I bought them. I don’t usually eat potatoes unless it’s summer time and they are…
Snickers Dip
Before this dip came into my life, I didn’t think I really liked Snickers. I mean, when I crave a chocolate bar, I usually reach for a Coffee Crisp or maybe Peanut Butter Cups. Never Snickers. I wasn’t even going to try the dip simply because of the snickers. It just did not appeal to…
Dry Rib Poutine
As of late, I’ve been trying to clean out the freezer, so supper usually consist of random items thrown together. And these random items are mostly appetizer foods such as onion rings, sausage rolls, or baked brie. You know, the really healthy stuff. As I was coming to the end of my freezer purging, I…
Pecan Crusted Brie
I’ve had the biggest craving for baked brie ever since I got back from a little vacation in Calgary. Then a lovely blogger commented about how she wished she had somewhere nearby that served up a version of the magnificent brie I mentioned. Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s really not that hard to make at home….really,…
Corn Fritters
Updated recipe can be found here Looking for a quick and easy side for supper? Look no further. This is my go-to recipe when I’m in a pinch. The batter takes a quick minute to mix together, and you just drop it by the spoonful into a hot pan. I prefer to serve my fritters…
