The other week I took a shot at making Simple Crab Rangoons (click for link to recipe) because I love crab rangoons from the local Chinese restaurant and I thought I could easily make these. They were good but I also wondered what would happen if I made this into a dip for our football…

Air Fryer Ravioli
Happy first day of Winter! My favorite day of the year. Each day from now until June the days will get slowly longer. Ah…. I have hope. Now that both kids are home our eating and cooking has changed. I don’t think my grocery budget doubles but rather triples when every one is home. We…
Reuben Fritters
You can see we are really liking the little bites for dinners lately. We have been in a bar food type mood lately and since we still do not want to physically go to restaurants we are making due with making some off our own. Yes, we could order out buy bar food is just…
Air Fryer – Fried Ravioli
Day 18 – We are just waiting for the Governor to declare that the school year is over for both kids. Neither one is happy. My son has 3 Advanced Placement (AP) tests to take and I know that they were trying to come up with a plan for the students to take those so that…
How to Build a Charcuterie Board
Day 14 of our Covid-19 Adventure has been okay. I think the further we go into this the easier it is getting. I guess it really is becoming “normal” which is a bit scary to me. Before we did a full not going out for us we did a small shop to pick up a…
Whipped Mediterranean Feta Dip
Sometimes you need to have a good dip on hand for friends or just for yourself. My family loves this dip as it is similar to tzatziki and you can customize it with the exact amount of garlic you like (I always add extra!). With the cold weather and snow headed our way it seemed…
Mini Greek Pizzas: Revisited
These have been a favorite of our family forever. I first had them at my sister-in-law’s house on New Year’s Eve 1996. I fell in love with them then and we made them for several years for many parties until the recipe got set aside for new items. I originally posted about them in Mini…
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Some nights we have an appetizer dinner. Little bites can be fun and a super simple dinner if you make things “semi-homemade.” This dip can be made with slow cooker chicken, or leftover chicken, or a shredded rotisserie chicken from the grocery store on a busy day. No matter the chicken you use it is…
Egg and Feta Bites
Another appetizer for dinner night in our house. The heat index is over 100 so we are trying to eat a bit lighter. These are perfect for a savory bite. Using pre-made shells make these super simple to make! Verdict: My house was divided on these. My daughter thought they were okay, she wold have…
Crostini with Goat Cheese and Toasted Walnuts
One of the things we like to do, other than grilling in the summer, is have appetizers and a drink before dinner. Sitting out with a glass of wine or sangria and a few simple bites can almost be a complete meal on those super warm nights. This is a simple bite that is one…
Texas Caviar – Updated
I first wrote about this dip back in 2015 in Aunt Amy & Uncle Mike’s Texas Caviar (click for link to original post). Since that date I have made a few minor revisions to the recipe to improve upon it (at least to me). It is still a deliciously easy dip that is even better…
Simple Taco Fries
It snowed this weekend. Yes, snowed. This calls for serious comfort food. It was 50 one day then snow. So, we are making all kinds of comfort food to get ourselves through the giant snowflakes were falling. I asked my daughter to go down to the freezer and bring up ground beef and french fries….
