It’s Game Day time! My Hubby and his Red Zone are in full swing!!! I have learned to love Football and find it very exciting to watch the real season begin. Here is a dip I love to make that is different than the one most people make. It’s always the first dip to go and even the buffalo dip haters love this one! Continue reading
Linda and I were at a wedding in South Carolina this past July… One of the appetizers that was served there was this perfect little bite that you see here. I must have eaten at least five of them so that I could decipher what was in it. I recreated it today and I believe I hit the mark. My Hubby and I loved it and it is definitely one I will be making again soon! Continue reading
My little girl is getting married next month and I have been playing with ideas to serve at her shower that are healthy versions of her favorites. She loves bagels and cream cheese with salmon, cream cheese and capers…but alas…. the wedding dress fitting. So I came up with this little bite that offers a little veggie with the bagel fixings. Turns out this was a great breakfast appetizer and is great at room temperature too… Continue reading
I love to spoil my family with homemade treats. Today I made one of my favorite snacks… soft pretzels! To make them even better, I paired them with my favorite mustard… Herlocher’s Dipping Mustard! … Continue reading
Here is another appetizer that my honey and I had to ‘test‘ for our Christmas guests. It’s a hard job, but someone had to do it… Continue reading
If you’re anything like me you are already gearing up for the Christmas Holiday. I’m tweaking ideas for the many dinners we will be having and the easy dishes for the Big Day! It’s good to have a trial run with your recipes that you intend to make for your guests if you want to do new things. Knowing in advance how it turns out will just make you look like a pro to family and friends. It will also tell you if it’s too complicated for a crowd and how you can make it more simple. My hubby and I love this appetizer and we sometimes have it for our entire meal. I’m making this as the salad for my Christmas table with one pear instead of two, but it can also be served on a platter as an appetizer. I hope you enjoy this simple trial run with me… Continue reading
This past Saturday I was off to visit my favorite Boutique Hotel with my hubby! I shared this recipe with you all so you could join in on the fun! I love Tuna Carpaccio…And there is a restaurant in Philadelphia that my husband and I frequent when we are there. My husband is not a big fan of the city, but I am. So several times a year the love of my life takes me for my ‘City Fix’! I love the Carpaccio for breakfast at Parc Restaurant Bistro on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. My idea of heaven in breakfast is a mimosa and raw tuna. Go figure, but it is what it is. After a few times eating it at Parc, I finally deduced how to reproduce a version of my own at home… Continue reading
When you tell people you like chicken livers, you get one of two responses… ‘I love them’ or ‘no way’. Well I love them and always have. My hubby and I frequently order them when we see them on a menu as our shared appetizer. I also sometimes make them at home when we have had long days and want a small bite for dinner. Another great thing about eating chicken livers is to use the leftovers to make chicken liver pâté… Continue reading
I fell in love with this appetizer when I was living in Philadelphia in the early 90’s. I didn’t know exactly what was in it, but after eating it a thousand times I began to deduce the premise. Now I make it for my honey from the way I remember… 20 + years later… Yikes!!! Still worth the calories… Continue reading
