whole skewers

Today’s recipe is an easy to make appetizer. I brought these tortellini skewers to a party last week and they were a hit.  For some reason, people love to eat food off of sticks. Did you ever notice that? Typically it is hard to get pasta on a stick (have you ever tried spaghetti?) but [...]

Who’s getting ready for the Superbowl?  I am  not entertaining this year as we are going to a party. I still  have been eying up some worthy recipes on the blogosphere as I can always use another game day recipe. I have talked about my family’s love for Musselman’s apple butter in the past but [...]

This morning I woke up from another food coma. There has been good holiday eats around here causing various members of my family to sleep late and stay in their pajamas until 2pm for the last three days. One of those people may or may not have been me. There is more celebrating to be [...]

Hoagie Dip Appetizer Idea

December 6, 2012

Today’s recipe is really not a recipe. It’s more of an appetizer idea. It’s also a way to recycle the kids lunch or make something new with the leftover holiday antipasto tray. I am always looking for quick and easy appetizers. I could skip the entree anytime. Sometimes my husband and I will have a [...]

Gluten Free Mushroom Cheddar Pizza & Gluten Free Entertaining

December 1, 2012

I’ll admit that I don’t think about gluten free cooking very often. No one in my immediate family has any allergies so I am lucky in that sense. But with the holidays fast approaching, I will be entertaining.  I always like to have options for my guests with dietary restrictions  or food preferences.  If I [...]

Tomato Ricotta Tart

I am trying to enjoy every last drop of summer so the other day my son and I went crabbing at a county park about an hour from my house. We caught some crabs but only one was big enough to be a keeper so we didn’t take any home to cook. What I did [...]

Pinwheel Antipasto Skewers

July 9, 2012

Ask me what food I can’t live without and I wouldn’t even have to think about it. It’s cheese all the way. Think about all the yummy things you can do with cheese. Our household goes through several pounds a week. My son takes a cheese sandwich for lunch at least three times a week. [...]

Kicked Up Olives

May 1, 2012

I love going to a gourmet or specialty grocery store and checking out the olive bar. There are so many types to choose from.  The thing I don’t care for is the price. They can run anywhere from $6.99 to $10.99 per pound. So I decided to buy an inexpensive jar of Spanish olives and [...]
