Summer BBQ planning? You have got to give these a try! These Tortellini Caprese Skewers are just 3 simple ingredients and so full of flavor! You can make these ahead of time and they will surely be a hit with friends and family. When I think of Summer, caprese salad is one of my favorite dishes to make.

I just love finger foods! Yesterday was one of those days that was just packed with running errands so I was looking for a really easy and fun dinner idea and came up with these Roast Beef & Pepper Jack Crescent Dippers with Au Jus! Seriously, these are INCREDIBLE!!! Easy weeknight dinner, party appetizer, snack… whatever the occasion, these will be a hit. …
I love these Spinach Artichoke Puff Pastry Cups! These delicious cups make for perfect party food; whether for a brunch, a holiday or just a get together with some friends. Puff pastry is such a great product; its light, buttery, flaky and you can make so many different dishes with it. For this I went with one of my ultimate flavor combo favorites… spinach & artichoke! I’ve made a Spinach & Artichoke Quiche, Baked Spinach & Artichoke Pasta and a Savory Sausage, Spinach & Artichoke Bread Pudding. …
We are keeping things rolling getting ready for the big football game in a couple weeks!

I’m bringing these, BBQ Chicken Crescents with Onions & Cheddar!!! 5 ingredients, minutes to throw together and so good!!…
I’ve got playoff football on the brain but lets be honest, its as much about the food as it is about the game. There is something fabulous about having a delicious spread out all day for picking on while the game is going. I made these AMAZING Cold Peanut Noodles will be on the table this Sunday! …

The weekends have been absolutely crazy lately. There seems to be something nearly every Saturday and Sunday, mostly fun stuff so i’m not complaining. All this running around has made our tradition of family football Sundays with my parents and brothers a bit tough. Weeks into the season and it was just this past Sunday that we finally got together with a delicious spread of snacks, a friendly game of football in the yard with all the boys and some pudding pie to end the night. On the menu, these crisp, sticky delicious baked Teriyaki Pineapple Wings! …
Before there were kids I really loved doing a “cutting board dinner” once a week. After work I’d stop by our local Italian specialty store and pick up a variety of cheeses, meats, olives, bread and whatever else looked good. Something about the rustic-ness of a big wooden cutting board filled with some of my favorites, some music playing in the background and of course a delicious bottle of wine! It had been so long since i’ve put together a “cutting board dinner” but then along came Uncorked Wine Ventures and I thought what better way to enjoy great wine then with this rustic meal. …
I love crostini! Whats not to love about a beautifully crisp slice of baguette topped with something sweet or savory? If you are hosting a hors d’oeuvre party, a small dinner or heck just looking for a tasty snack crostini are always a great option in my book! The combination possibilities are endless and with a little creativity you could probably come up with a handful of ideas with things already in your fridge and pantry. These Caramelized Onions, Thyme & Fontina Crostini are a great go to! The onions are so tender and sweet, they pair perfectly with the fresh earthy thyme and the fontina cheese. …
