Ridiculously easy would be an understatement and so would ridiculously good! This is one of those recipes that you need in your life because you will find yourself making them again and again. I'm sure many of you have made these in the past with different kinds of candy, but when that bag of pumpkin kisses was eyeing me last week, I knew these had to happen. You guys know I'm all about the salty/sweet combo and these deliver. You get the salty crunch from the pretzel, topped with a sweet pumpkin kiss and garnished with a toasted pecan. ...
The Best Spinach Dip Pinwheels
We've got cookies, cupcakes, decadent desserts, even cupcake trees, and now it's time for the go-to appetizer of the season! Actually these spinach dip pinwheels are my go-to app year-round, but they get extra attention around the holidays. Think everything you love about spinach dip wrapped up in puff pastry - they're even better than they sound. And I zhushed them up even more this season by adding roasted red peppers to the mix so now they're red and green. I really can't help myself this time of year - everything needs to be as pretty ...
Goat Cheese Cheesecake Pretzel Bites
I hope you guys are enjoying the weekend! We're currently in the midst of another storm here in Boston, but I'm grateful it's mostly rain instead of snow. Although, once you get over 90 inches of snow in under a month, what's a few more inches... Anyway, this much snow can drive a person a little loco. Like in the beginning it's all oh, a snow day! Let's bake chocolate chip cookies, make a big pot of tomato soup and have a 90210 marathon. Three weeks later, this turns into I don't care what we watch anymore. Just give me the wine and ...
Skinny Nachos
Time for a little balancing the buttercream because it's been way too long! And because these skinny "nachos" are everything! My go-to taco filling served up in little bell peppers, topped with avocado and cheese - yes, please! Can we also talk about how they look like a party waiting to happen? I can't even handle it! So I love Mexican food, like I can probably be lured into almost anything with Mexican food and margaritas. We all have our weaknesses, okay. If you've been reading for a while, you already know I'm hopelessly devoted to ...
Skinny Avocado Chicken Salad Bites
Lately I feel like I have cupcakes coming out of my ears! Definitely not the worst thing, but balancing the buttercream is key. Luckily for me and you, avocado chicken salad makes balancing a snap, and with summer temps making a comeback this week, there's no better time to make this. The best part about this situation, besides that it's avocado central, is there's no mayo so it's perfect for summer entertaining. The only problem is it tends to disappear in a flash! The first thing you'll want to do is prepare the chicken. I cook ...
