One of my favorite things to do over the holidays is to make treats and candies for my neighbors and friends. I've been experimenting in the kitchen with different treats this year and have unfortunately made rather small batches of each, but I'm hoping I can knock out a bunch next weekend. One of the… Continue reading Thin Mint Cups

Air Fried Crab Cakes
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to have a "snack night" on Christmas Eve. My family would have a full spread of snacks: lil smokies, cheeses, salami, pinwheels, you name it. I'm not having a snack night this year (I'll be preparing to fly out the next day--on Christmas Day!) but I have been… Continue reading Air Fried Crab Cakes
Basic Hummus
Sometimes people need to know the absolute basics of a recipe. How to bake a chicken. How to boil an egg. How to crisp up bacon. I get lost in making unique and extravagant recipes sometimes. I'm not an amateur home cook anymore, but there are plenty of people out there who need those basic… Continue reading Basic Hummus
Spinach & Bacon Pinwheels
Who doesn't love a few good appetizers ahead of the big meal on Thanksgiving? I love snacking before the feast. I usually don't eat breakfast on Thanksgiving Day so I can save up my energy for all the food later in the day. My family always set out a cheese plate and a few other… Continue reading Spinach & Bacon Pinwheels
Cocoa Bourbon Balls
The holiday baking season is here! I've officially made my first treats of the season. Funnily enough, though, they were both no-bake treats. It still counts though, right? This recipe came from one of my old recipe tins. I must've written it down somewhere between 8-10 years ago. While I was going through the tin… Continue reading Cocoa Bourbon Balls
Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas
Sausage & Pepper Wontons
I was gifted a few cookbooks the other day and I immediately set out to cook something from inside of them. A few things in an air-fryer centric cookbook caught my eye and almost all of them were wontons/potstickers. I have long been cooking wontons in my air fryer (my favorite are the Bibigo chicken… Continue reading Sausage & Pepper Wontons
Cheese Tot Skewers
If there's one thing I like about certain recipes, it's how easy they are to make. Nothing beats making a four-course meal in 30 minutes. It's a thrill making dozens of appetizers for a crowd when it take less effort than putting on clothes. Easy recipes are my favorite. It's even better when a recipe… Continue reading Cheese Tot Skewers
Prairie Fire Dip
Anyone else completely exhausted after the Fourth of July weekend? I spent way too much time outside in the sun. I only have a few tiny sunburns where I didn't put sunscreen on all that well, but all that time spent outside wore me out. Hopefully your Fourth of July weekend was just as fun… Continue reading Prairie Fire Dip
Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Spring cleaning has been going on in my house for the last several weeks. We've got family and friends visiting for the next couple of weeks, so I've been trying to tidy up where I can. I've completely reorganized the kitchen cabinets, given the windows a double-clean, and am in the midst of reorganizing the… Continue reading Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
