Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread

May 10, 2021 by Faith 19 Comments

Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread combines the creaminess of hummus and the rich complexity of French onion soup for the perfect snack.

I’ve been finding myself making fusion-type dishes more frequently lately.

To name a few, Indian-spiced burgers with tamarind chutney and fresh mint, rolled up in hot naan instead of being sandwiched between a bun.

Greek-flavored enchiladas, with garlicky marinated chicken, feta, tomato sauce, and beautiful briny Kalamata olives.

Boeuf Bourguignon served pot pie-style, enrobed in a melt-in-your-mouth tender, flaky pastry crust.…

Easy to whip up with minimal ingredients, this creamy, flavorful Garlic and Chive Cottage Cheese Dip Recipe is great to keep on hand for snacking. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one to shy away from bold-flavored foods. Extra, extra onion on every sandwich. (I wish I were kidding.

Pizza Dip Recipe

December 27, 2019 by Faith 117 Comments

This easy Pizza Dip Recipe is super cheesy and packed with flavor! It’s sure to be a favorite appetizer at your next party or gathering. My sister makes a pretty mean batch of stuffed shells. A blend of herbs, spices, and three cheeses make the cheese filling not only incredibly cheesy (in the best kind of way), but also more flavorful than most that I’ve had....

Pickled Beet Hummus Recipe

April 24, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Bright and tangy with an earthy sweetness, this Pickled Beet Hummus recipe has white beans, za’atar, feta, and mint, and is as pretty as it is delicious. This surprising combination of flavors is a pairing that works well. In this Pickled Beet Hummus recipe, the natural sweetness and earthy flavor of beets is brightened with fresh lemon juice and garlic. Cannellini beans provide a great canvas/backdrop flavor. Tahini, a traditional hummus ingredient, adds creamy texture and subtle bitter nuttiness to balance out the sweetness of beets. And za’atar adds complexity....

Smoked Salmon Dip

July 11, 2013 by Faith 15 Comments

We all know not to go grocery shopping hungry. Why do I try to defy the laws of nature and not heed this rule? A while ago I was shopping on an empty stomach, foolishly thinking I was immune to impulse buys. I was zipping around the store, only grabbing items on my list. I guess I got a little too cocky....

Cream Cheese Pumpkin Spice Spread

November 18, 2012 by Faith 20 Comments

In 10th grade at my high school, health education class was mandatory for all students. In my class, there was a kid named Tim. Tim was a nice enough kid; the sporty type and on the hockey team, but not necessarily overly health-conscious. Every morning the teacher would ask Tim what he had for breakfast. Some days it was cereal with milk, some days it was eggs with toast. (I don’t remember beyond that because honestly, the only one who seemed to be completely enthralled with finding out what Tim ate every morning was the teacher.)...

Vegan Pimento “Cheese” Spread

November 28, 2011 by Faith 36 Comments

If you’ve ever been invited to my house for a meal, or if I’ve ever been invited to your house and brought a dish to pass, you probably already know that I love surprise ingredients…I get really excited and even a little giddy. My mantra usually goes something like this: I made _____ (fill in the blank with any normal sounding dish), but there’s a secret ingredient – guess what it is!...

Roasted Carrot Red Lentil Dip

June 2, 2011 by Faith 45 Comments

A while ago found myself gifted with five pounds of carrots. I wanted to make something unique and special with the carrots, and as I hemmed and hawed on what to make, they weren’t getting any fresher. Meaning, I had to think of a way to use a significant amount of carrots and I had to do it fast. I had a party coming up and I knew just what to do. I came up with this recipe, doubled it, and brought it to the party. This dip was the first thing to go and I ended up wishing I had made more!...
