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}
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 […]...

Crispy Potato Skins Recipe
This Crispy Potato Skins Recipe has two types of cheese, bacon, and scallions, and is a flavorful appetizer for any occasion. With inspiration from jalapeno poppers, these potato skins also have jalapenos, which you can easily adjust (or omit) to suit your taste preference. I’m a pretty big wuss when it comes to spicy food. What the Pakistani guy at our favorite local restaurant calls “medium” is my absolute limit. And even then I can only get down a bowl of their curry if I have a loaf of their fresh bread in my hand to eat intermittently. Total wimp, I know. (But dang, they […]...
