You know how people say that you should leave well enough alone? Well this is an example of a time when those people were wrong. I’m all for a traditional deviled egg, but sometimes you can make good even better. The addition of pork products almost always helps achieve near perfection. Case in point? Cajun […]

Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!, Screw the entree.
Miss me? Forgive me, I’ve been away too long. But I’ve been busy. Between work and a wedding this little lady has been a busy little bee. Alas, I return, just in time for one last summer recipe and with ample time to immerse myself in pre-holiday, post-wedding diet goodies. However, before my kitchen is […]
Easy little appie
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
I’m fortunate enough to have many amazing women in my life. One of which, Nancy, is like a second Mom to me. Nancy is amazing in the kitchen. She makes a homemade spaghetti sauce that is requested at least once a month, every month, by family and friends. Plus, I’m pretty certain that every single […]
My favorite foods are getting married and you’re invited!
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
A wise friend once said to me that chocolate and peanut butter were the best combination ever, and that she firmly believed the two should get married and make little choco-PB babies. Well said, Kathryn, well said. While I agree with my astute and beautiful friend, I’m going to argue that there is a better combo out […]
Hummus a la the Bestie
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
When it comes down to it, my bestie is really far more impressive in the kitchen than I am. One of the reasons I’m always so impressed with her is that she keeps things simple, while still maintaining their fabulousness. I, on the other hand, am always going WAY over board and am guaranteed to […]
Grape Tomato Bruschetta
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
I don’t even like tomatoes. So saying that I looooooove this bruschetta is definitely saying something. It’s super fast, oober pretty, not AS unhealthy as most of the other crap that I’m usually making, and it’s one of those appetizers that just about everyone will enjoy. Prior to finding this recipe by the Pioneer Woman, […]
Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
It was so good. Too good. So good I wanted a shovel to get it into my mouth faster. Ew. OK, that was taking it too far… but honestly, I’m a sucker for savory, creamy, cheesy, just-a-little-bit-spicy-with-crunchy-on-top dips. Yea, in my world, that’s totally a thing. This delicious appetizer is just what you need to […]
It’s wrapped in bacon… need I say more?
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
Bacon makes everything better right? If you don’t agree with that statement you probably shouldn’t bother reading much further… You really can’t go wrong with these bite-sized appetizers unless you’re trying to feed a vegetarian. They’re pretty simple to put together and don’t require a lot of prep either. The bacon makes them savory, the […]
Healthy, Easy, Yum: What more could you want?
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!, Quest for Skinny
Since I know all of you AMAZING readers immediately went from reading my Tapenade-Stuffed Salmon recipe, straight to your kitchen and tested it out for yourselves, you (like me) probably have tons of leftover, delicious tapenade and were just itching to use the remainder of the delicious, savory concoction… right? Well, maybe that’s wishful thinking. […]
Marty’s Pepperoni Bread
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
I both love and hate my cousin Marty for sharing this recipe with me. On one hand- it’s absolutely delicious. It’s a never-fail, crowd pleasing, gone 5 minutes after being served, appetizer that is guaranteed to get oohs, aahs and nom nom noms. On the other hand, it may single handedly clog my arteries and […]
