Crispy Garlic Shaved Brussel Sprouts

Coming at you this week with another easy vegetable side to add in to the mix. And trust me, brussel sprouts have never been a favorite ingredient.

Baked Olive & Soppressata Dip

I’d be hard pressed to name a cheesy appetizer I didn’t like. Well maybe something with blue cheese… not a huge fan of stinky cheeses over here. And while I absolutely love a charcuterie board, I admit it can feel a bit run of the mill after your third holiday party. So I’ve been on…

Air Fried Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

I never liked asparagus. Growing up asparagus was probably one of my least favorite vegetables. Now if you wrapped it in bacon? Okay, I’ll bite. There is nothing fancy about this recipe… there are only two ingredients and one cooking vessel. So why the need to post? Because if you don’t have an air fryer,…

Cheesy Pimiento Olive Balls

Growing up my mother and grandmother always insisted on making “Olive Balls” as a Holiday appetizer. As a kid, I never understood it… olives were gross! But alas, I am now an adult with a refined palate and I LOVE olives. I like to use olives with Spanish Tapas, I like to dice olives for…
