Ever since I was little, I loved dips.  I love dipping crackers, chips cookies, apple slices and cheeses.

I can never get enough!!  Dips, to me, equal party.  They either equal Sunday football, or Christmas party.  I have been known to eat an entire bowl of dip before people arrive.  I have been kicked out of the kitchen when my mom is making the dip as well, because I keep sticking my finger in. This dip is a perfect holiday mix.  My neighbor Anne makes it every single place.

It has cheese and nuts and lots of yummy sauce over the top.  It is a real Christmasy dish and people will go nuts over it if you bring it.  Mix it up with different nuts, or add some more seasonings for a new twist.  Make this for yourself, or make this for a crowd.  But I suggest making the crowd version, even for yourself because it is that good.

Quick Tip: Make sure not to use yellow mustard so it does not change the color of the dip.

Get your dinner roll fix with these buttery, fluffy, and light little gems.

Dinner rolls are a staple part of any holiday dinner. In fact, at my house, dinner rolls are a staple part of any dinner haha! I’ve made many recipes for dinner rolls and some turned out very well while others weren’t so great. I found one of the greats on the Twig And feather blog. Who knew that greek yogurt and honey could make such scrumptious dinner rolls?

I am expecting my in-laws over for Thanksgiving dinner this week and I plan to make these rolls. I know they are going to be impressed by them! At least, I hope so 🙂

A fun new way to get your Reuben sandwich fix.

I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter a whopping 17 years ago. She’s my first born and she’s a firecracker. Perhaps, it was all of those Reuben sandwiches I ate while I carried her. Man oh man did I ever crave those things!

In fact, I ate so many Reuben sandwiches that I gained 8 pounds in one week! My doctor told me that I needed to cut it out because I was gaining too much water weight from all of the salt I was ingesting due to Reuben sandwiches.

I was super sad that I had to step away from the Reuben sandwiches. Press forward to present day and I found a unique recipe that puts a whole new spin on the almighty Reuben sandwich. Reuben donuts! Yep, you read that right. The recipe on the next page debuts fried pockets of Reubeny goodness. Shall we check it out? Head on over to the next page for the details. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Many folks enjoy dipping these donuts in Thousand Island dressing but you can also give Ranch a go.

The perfect appetizer for your holiday gatherings or football parties.

My family loves snacking. Seriously, it’s a hobby for us haha! Now, don’t get me wrong. We don’t sit around eating all day like gluttons. However, we do enjoy making fun appetizers for family get-togethers and other events.

One of the things my mother used to make when she had company over were cheeseballs. She’d take cream cheese, sliced ham, and pickles and form it into a ball. She’d then roll the ball in shredded cheese or nuts. So good!

Today, we aren’t making a cheeseball but rather a dip that reminds you of a classic cheeseball. This recipe is for ham and pickle cream cheese dip and it is uh-mazing. You use a Ranch dressing seasoning packet in this recipe and I’m telling ya what, this is what gives this yummy appetizer all of its pizzazz! Plus, this ham and pickle dip is VERY EASY to make. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Although the recipe doesn’t call for them I like to add about 1/2 cup of finely diced onion to the mix.

Every crevice is filled with savory herbs, charming cheese, and butter.

Seriously, does that not sound absolutely heavenly? My husband and kiddos LOVE these sliced and baked potatoes. We get creative with our seasonings that we use. Sometimes, each kid will season their potato according to their own tastes. The kiddos really enjoy doing this and so do I.

My husband had suggested that we try using Old Bay Seasoning and I thought that sounded super good. So, I sprinkled some on the sliced taters in addition to some other spices. Wow! Did those potatoes come out tasting good! I think a little pinch of fresh garlic would be swell as well 🙂

What will you be putting on yours?

Anyway, I bet you are biting at the bit to get the details of this amazing recipe, right? Without further ado, please hop on over to the next page for the ingredients and instructions. Enjoy!

Bet You Never Thought Of Making Them This Way Before

Imagine pulling these sweet potato biscuits right out of the oven and serving them with a pat of warm butter. Yum! What a treat for your friends and family. Sweet potato biscuits are something that should be on every holiday table. They are not hard to make and they taste incredible. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against regular white flour biscuits, but these little sweet potato things are truly something special. In fact, I’ll be making them even when the holidays are over. Yum!

I did a test run with these sweet potato biscuits the other day and my kids really liked them. I asked my husband if he would like to try one and he said, “Why are they orange?” I knew by the look on his face that he was concerned I had put some sort of “health food” in the biscuits. I told him not to worry, that the orange hue was from sweet potatoes and to please try one of these delicious biscuits. He obliged, and boy was he ever glad that he did!

You May Not Need An Entree When You’re Serving These

If there is one thing that I enjoy most about Thanksgiving dinner it would have to be the sweet potato casserole. When I was growing up my mom didn’t just set out a pot of sweet potatoes with a bit of butter and brown sugar on them. Nope. She blended it all up into a creamy mess and baked it in the oven until we had a glorious sweet potato casserole. My favorite! My mother would use lots of brown sugar and butter and her sweet potato casserole always came out divine.

I’ve used my mother’s recipe for every Thanksgiving meal, but last year I decided to try something a little different for a change. I still wanted that wonderful sweet potato flavor, but I was hoping to modernize the dish a little bit. When I came across this recipe on Facebook, I immediately knew this was it!

This is probably considered an appetizer but I made a huge batch of these and served them as a side dish, instead of the traditional sweet potato casserole. My family loved these! They disappeared in minutes and people were hoping there were leftovers, to munch on later at night!
