Thank you to Safeway for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own.

These Chili-Garlic Glazed Wings with Peanutty Satay Dipping Sauce are oven-baked to perfection; juicy inside and crispy outside, and packed with flavor!

When a specific region makes a food specialty so well that they’re world-famous for it (like cheesesteak in Philly or deep-dish pizza in Chicago), there isn’t much sense in trying to recreate that food at home, unless of course you’re feeling adventurous! This is especially true if that particular food is a bit of an inconvenience to make, with a ton of steps or obscure ingredients, or something deep-fried or slow-cooked for days.…

Zucchini Pizza Bites

December 29, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Zucchini Pizza Bites come together quickly and easily for a crowd-pleasing finger food that’s perfect for any party! The holidays aren’t quite over yet, and for now I’m content to spend time with family and get my fill of Christmas movies. I’ve been watching festive flicks all week long; The Grinch (the one with Jim Carrey!), A Christmas Story, Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, and even my animated favorite, Mickey’s Christmas Carol....

Taco Cheese Ball

December 27, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

When it comes to food, cheese balls are always the life of the party and you’ll be surprised how much this Taco Cheese Ball actually tastes like tacos! I first started making cheese balls about six or seven years ago when they were retro-chic and people were used to buying them from the store. I think the homemade version had been popular in the 1970’s, but then somehow people forgot just how easy they are to make....

Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip

December 12, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...

Warm Cheesy Garlic and Kale Dip

November 24, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

RW Garcia provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Warm Cheesy Garlic and Kale Dip is rich and creamy and loaded with vegetables! Watch it disappear fast off any buffet table. You know a recipe is a success when it’s the first to disappear off the buffet table (twice) at a party. When kids are coming up to you asking when there’s be more of that “cheesy green dip”, and grownups are checking the fridge to see if there’s enough kale to whip up […]...

Parmesan and Garlic White Bean Patties {Gluten-Free}

March 31, 2017 by Faith 9 Comments

Gluten-free Parmesan and Garlic White Bean Patties feature the flavors of white beans, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil in little nibbles that are perfect for a party or picnic. The beauty of a good little nibble is that it can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. Something you can set out hot at the beginning of a party and not have to worry about reheating an hour later (that is, if there are any left) because a) there isn’t anything in them that you have to worry about spoiling that quickly, and b) they’re every bit as delicious at room temperature as they […]...

Low-Carb White Cheddar Crisps with Rosemary and Black Pepper make a great addition to your New Year’s Eve festivities, and not just for low-carb eaters! I got you something, so show me a smile. It came in the form of an order accompanied by a wink, and because it was one of my best friends giving it, I knew two things: 1) it was something I would love, and 2) I had better smile....
