Appetizer Recipes

Last month I shared a fun and healthy breakfast recipe using Friendship Dairies’ protein-rich cottage cheese and their Superfood Generator to come up with a sweet and crunchy cottage cheese breakfast bowl. This month I’m excited to team up with Friendship Dairies again to bring you an amazing party dip for easy entertaining. You guys. Feast your eyes on this!...

Buffalo wings seem to be just about the most popular food there is the U.S. And hummus…well, hummus has always been delicious, however, lately I am seeing it on appetizer menus everywhere. I’m thrilled to see it getting more and more popular and mainstream. Have you noticed how many varieties there are now at your market? And do...

Did you know that Americans devour eat over 1.5 billion chicken wings each year on Super Bowl Sunday?? That’s 100 million pounds of wings!   Annually Americans eat over 25 billion wings! The thought is mind-blowing! Hi, it’s Colleen here today, and I personally know quite a few people who help make those numbers a reality (and I am...

I’ve got a bonus recipe for you this morning! Actually, someone wrote in to my Facebook page and asked where this 7-Layer Mexican Dip recipe had gone. Evidently I posted it many moons ago, back before bloggers actually photographed their recipes. (Can you imagine!???) I guess I deleted it at some point. I actually used...

I personally LOVE appetizers. I can make a meal off of them, and since I posted a sweet recipe on Friday, I figured I’d go with a savory one today. This Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is actually prosciutto. These are way easier than making bacon-wrapped asparagus since they cook evenly and with less mess. Originally, I thought to give...

Hi, Its’s Colleen here with one of my favorite things to eat… To-ma-toes! I have quite the obsession with tomatoes. As far back as I can remember I have adored them. My dad grew a huge garden while we were growing up. If you didn’t find me sitting high in the cherry tree eating my weight...

Hi, it’s Colleen here again! Today I have for you an appetizer that is SUPER easy, colorful, versatile and all around fun party nibble! Ever hear of a Peppadew? I’m sure you have been around them, you just may not have know their name. A Peppadew is the brand name of a variety of chili pepper...

Hey, it’s Colleen here! When it comes to the holidays, don’t you feel like we turn into Wonder Woman? There are presents to buy, parties to host and attend, a house to clean again and again, wrapping to do, lists to make and remake… and if you have young kids, there are presents to creatively hide...
