Brown Sugar Brie

As promised,  here is my second brown sugar recipe of the week. We attended our first holiday party last night (that wasn’t at our house) and I took one of my favorite holiday appetizers,  Brown Sugar Brie.  You could really make this appetizer anytime but I always seem to make it at the holidays. It [...]

Cranberry Salsa

I have been on a bit of a cranberry craze this fall. First there were those yummy egg nog cranberry white chocolate muffins (which seriously, if you haven’t tried, you really need too!) and then the cranberry pineapple muffins which were so nice and moist.  And then I came up with the yummy cranberry cream [...]

Pumpkin Dip

If you are looking for an easy last minute appetizer for your Thanksgiving dinner check out my post over at Portland Mama. It is the pumpkin dip I served at Mummies Night Out. We are headed to Idaho today and are driving.  Lots of snow predicted so say a prayer for us! I have one [...]

Artichoke and Spinach Dip

It is a close call but if I had to pick the most requested recipe from my Mummies Night Out I would have to say it is today’s recipe. I have a go to appetizer that I love.  It is a roasted garlic and artichoke dip that I have made for years.  Everyone loves it [...]

Bloomin’ Onion Bread

So I have been experimenting with a few recipes for my upcoming Mummies Night Out (only 3 spots left!!)  I want to make sure everything is delicious and that my party guests leave feeling spoiled rotten and full! I made this yummy recipe several weeks ago and my family went crazy for it.  I found [...]

Sundried Tomato Pesto Palmiers

One of the savory treats I served at the recent baby shower I hosted were some yummy sundried tomato pesto palmiers.    A palmier means palm tree in French.  Called such probably because of its shape. They  look pretty fancy but are actually quite easy to make when you use store bought puff pastry. You can [...]

Sundried Tomato and Pesto Flatbread

A few weeks ago I was in Minneapolis attending a Creative Memories convention.  Hard to believe but I’ve been doing it for 19 years!  One of the best parts of going is getting to spend time with my friend Deb.  Even though we only see each other once a year or so, each time we [...]

Potato Skins:Ree & Leigh{Anne}

Note:  I’ll be back home from girl’s camp tomorrow.  I am sure I will be glad to sleep in my own bed after a week on a bunk bed and a sleeping bag!  I’m sure I’ll have some photos to share! My men love potato skins and so do my girls. In fact they have [...]

Ponachos

Are you wondering what Ponachos are?  Well, so was I. A few weeks ago I was in Utah to see my boys and attend a conference.  I also got to spend some time with my friend Carol.  We met 20 years ago by chance.  A chance meeting that came to be a huge blessing in [...]

Balsamic Black Bean Salsa

I have lost track of how many times I have made this salsa.  It has been my go to appetizer for the last few months whenever I am asked to bring something to a potluck.  Every time I have made it I’ve been asked for the recipe – that’s a good sign it is definitely [...]
