Buffalo Chicken Dip is a classic (and easy!) appetizer recipe that features Buffalo chicken in the form of a flavor-packed, creamy, cheesy, zippy dip. And if you use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken it takes just 30 minutes to whip up from start-to-finish! I was late to the game when it comes to Buffalo Chicken Dip. It’s been a thing for quite a while now, but I only just had this dip within the last three years. I’ve been missing out! Not only is it delicious, but it’s very easy to make and it’s a real crowd-pleasing appetizer....

And there are a few new favorites, like Maple Pecan Potato Chip Cookies....
Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling
This recipe for Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling features soft, fluffy eggnog-flavored muffins with a sweet/tart cranberry sauce filling. They’re a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth when you’re in the mood for something festive! Mike sometimes talks about taking a Christmas vacation to somewhere warm, but I have trouble getting behind that idea. I need cold, preferably snowy weather to feel festive. Growing up in Buffalo, our Christmases were usually white. Not that it was ever a sure thing (because some years we did end up with a mucky brown Christmas!). But it was definitely more likely to be white there than it […]...

Whip up the whole batch in just over 30 minutes for the perfect last-minute addition to your cookie tray! I don’t know about you, but every year I’m left with half a jug or so of eggnog wondering how to use it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive flavor of eggnog. There’s just something about its rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutmeg-scented flavor that says holiday time....

If you’re looking for homemade soft and chewy caramel recipe with no corn syrup, this is the recipe for you and it’s easier to make than you might think! I have a family member who is absolutely crazy about my homemade soft and chewy caramels. (I won’t mention names to protect the innocent, but she’s a certain 15-year-old sugar fiend, lol!). My homemade caramel is usually only a special treat for the holidays. This year I decided to spice things up with Gingerbread Caramel Candy! This aromatic soft and […]...

Russian Tea Cakes (aka Snowball Cookies)
Russian Tea Cakes are rich and buttery cookies with a texture similar to shortbread. They’re quick and easy to make and very festive coated in powdered sugar, which looks like snow! For the last day of my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats even, I wanted to share a cookie from my childhood. My mom has made Russian Tea Cakes/Snowball Cookies every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Which, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the fact that my family is Russian on my dad’s side and “Russian” is in the title of these cookies. (And I have no idea whether these […]...
Eggnog Latte
Rich, creamy eggnog and strong, hot coffee combine for an easy Eggnog Latte recipe that is just as festive and delicious as what you’d find at a coffee shop.

It’s up there right along with gingerbread and anything with cranberries! I enjoy eggnog so much I like to come up with different eggnog-inspired recipes so I’m not just left drinking my ‘nog. Muffins, pudding, and cookies are all […]...

It’s naturally low carb and keto friendly with just 2g net carbs per 1/4-cup serving. Serve it with crackers or chips, or keep it low carb with veggies like green bell pepper, celery, and broccoli for dipping. The first time I ever had Pimento Cheese was at Publix when I first moved to Florida for law school years ago.
