While browsing the internet, I came across this recipe and since I love sun-dried tomatoes,  I knew this would be the perfect pick. The dip turned out creamy and flavorful, and was very [...]

Caprese Stacks on Parmesan Crusted Polenta

I love the flavors of caprese salad, so when I saw this recipe for Caprese Polenta Stacks I immediately starred it to make this summer.

Spinach and Artichoke Bites

This is another recipe from my sister’s bridal shower. To me, spinach and artichoke dip is a staple at most parties, everybody loves it and it is usually gone in no time. What is great about this recipe is that you get the dip and the chip (in the form of a baked wonton) all [...]

Chicken Satay Bites with Peanut Sauce

I really wanted to have chicken satay at my sister’s bridal shower, but was concerned about the chicken on skewers making a mess while people where trying to eat.

Using a rotisserie chicken makes this recipe come together in a snap, and the end result was delicious. I thought [...]

Ginger Honey Garlic Meatballs

I made these meatballs as a trial run for an upcoming event. I was very pleased with how they came out. The meatballs themselves were very moist, and the sauce had a garlicky sweet flavor. The garlic is a little strong, but we love garlic so it was fine with us! I would highly recommend [...]
