Now that Halloween is over, the holiday season is in full swing. And with the holiday season comes holiday entertaining. Whether you plan to be the host or just plan to attend this year, having some easy appetizer recipes in your back pocket can come in super handy. (You never know when you’ll be asked…
Recipe
Cranberry Splash Cocktail
It’s definitely starting to feel like the holiday season around here. Our temps have started dropping and there have been a few mornings when I could see my breath in the air. Slightly depressing since I love warm weather, but the one good thing that I do always look forward to with the change of…
Black Licorice Ice Cream Spiders
The witching hour is almost upon us, and what am I doing? Making ice cream. Black licorice ice cream, to be exact. I was never really a fan of black licorice until I got older. I feel like one day I just woke up and started liking it. Weird? Maybe. But either way, I’m sold…
Mini No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EffortlessPies #CollectiveBias With the holidays right around the corner, I’m always on the hunt for a delicious recipe that is easy and quick to put together, but doesn’t sacrifice on taste. It’s definitely not fun (or polite!) to be…
Jack O’ Lantern Caramel Apples
Halloween desserts will be the death of me. Actually, any holiday desserts are. I always get sucked into their cuteness and the idea of creating new traditions that end up with me eating way more sugar than I originally planned for. (But, what’s new around here?) Case is point…? These Jack O’ Lantern caramel apples!
White Bean Chicken Chili
As a host or hostess, many times you don’t have the resources, or the time, to create everything from scratch. And guess what…? There are no rules that say you have to bake a mean casserole, poach a perfect egg, or whip up a demi glaze to entertain guests. (Shocking, right?!). Entertaining is about the…
Oogie Boogie Halloween Cocktail
One of my favorite movies to watch to kick off the Halloween season is The Nightmare Before Christmas. What are some of your favorites? I guess it really could go either way for both holidays, but I’m still partial to it for Halloween. Jack and Sally are the best Halloween characters and really seemed to…
Homemade Apple Cider
Today is the first day of Fall and I couldn’t be more thrilled! It’s definitely my favorite season by far. Crisp evenings, crunchy leaves, pumpkin flavored everything, and Halloween! One of the things I missed out on last year, was picking fresh apples at an orchard. It was on my bucket list for the season, but…
Salt and Vinegar French Fries
I’m definitely a sugar girl through and through, but there is one kind of salt that I can get down with. French fries. There’s just something about deep fried potato wedges that speak to my inner food obsessed self. And potatoes are a vegetable, so that’s good, right? They’re pretty much one of the 5…
Dr. Pepper Soda Floats
Dr. Pepper is my jam. We have a love/hate relationship, becauce I try to stay away from soda as much as I can (who drinks water?!), but I always find myself running back to this staple in my liquid repitoire. There’s just something about it. Most people’s soda vice (including my husband’s) is Diet Coke,…
