They’ll Have To Drag Me Kicking And Screaming From This Scrumptious Appetizer!

I always look forward to our game nights with family and friends. We’ve had this fun tradition for years now with some of our friends; we take turns hosting each other’s families, and everyone always brings a little something to the party. The hosts make any bigger meals, if that’s what they decide to serve, but whoever’s coming over as a guest will bring an appetizer, a six pack or whatever they think is suitable for the occasion.

Lately I’ve been trying to find a dip that would tickle my fancy. It seems I’ve grown tired of the same old shrimp dips, guacamole or salsa, and I really wanted to bring something super delicious to our next event. As soon as I came across this awesome Tex Mex dip over at Guy’s Home Kitchen, I just knew this would be it!

I am most definitely making a double batch of this goodness because there’s no way my tex mex loving friends would ever settle for one! This is the perfect combination of flavors, if you ask me, and I can’t wait to dip my tortilla chips in this – or maybe I’ll just eat it with a spoon…

The Famous Deep Skillet Pizza, Made Right In Your Home Kitchen!

There is this famous pizza place that offers the most delicious Chicago-style deep dish pizza that I am so addicted to. Whenever I need to meet with a project partner or with a client, I make sure to pass by this pizza place so I can order two slices for me and the boyfriend. They serve the pizza per slice, which is actually most ideal because if you are not buying for a group, there’s just no way that you can finish one whole pie if there are just two of you.

With the thickness of each slice along with the richness of the ingredients which will immediately make you feel full, you wouldn’t want another slice after the first.

I had been thinking about trying to make this at home but I was a little hesitant, to say the least. I didn’t know if it would be possible to make that awesome crust in my home oven. But it wasn’t as scary or difficult as I thought!

Sure, there is a bit of a waiting time because you need to wait for the dough to rise, but that’s all! The other steps are just easy breezy and you wouldn’t be hassled.

The good thing about this too is that you can add or omit the ingredients you want or you do not want. It’s a pretty versatile recipe that is perfect for a large group of people. Have you a small party to host? Then this is perfect!

Quick Tip: You can add extra cheese if you like.

With so many taco bake recipes floating around these days, I consider myself to be exceptionally lucky that I came across this one. I, for one, am absolutely head-over-heels for tacos. I love them, and so does my family. However, tacos can sometimes get boring once you’ve had them a time or twenty. So why not try this recipe and mix things up a bit?

This recipe isn’t for your regular run-of-the-mill tacos. In fact, you won’t even be eating it with your hands. Shocking, I know. Instead, you’re going to be tossing all of your favorite taco ingredients into a baking dish and create a jazzy Mexican taco bake casserole! I’m telling you; this casserole is uh-mazing. It’s packed with zippy spices, juicy meat, and lots of CHEESE. Yum!

Did somebody say Stromboli?! Yes, yet another way to eat your pizza that is perfectly dippable! Make it as “homemade” as you’d like, or use store-bought ingredients for a short-cut version that’s just as scrumptious.

This Stromboli is a fantastic appetizer idea for your next get-together, or even a tasty lunch idea. It reheats well to take to work throughout the week, or make a double batch and freeze it for when you’re in a pinch. You can’t go wrong with Italian food and this Stromboli won’t disappoint!

I was looking for new and exciting chicken dishes when I accidentally came across this one. I’ll be perfectly honest with you here; my first thought was “what in the world is this?” I haven’t been a big fan of olives but the combination with lemon made me curious. I thought, well, it can’t be that bad and I bought all the ingredients. What I got in return was one of the most delicious chicken dinners I have ever made in my whole life. This recipe went straight to my box of favorites, and it’s not easy to get there!

Bursting with flavor profiles, this dish is not only tender and juicy, but packs a powerful punch of lemon! Throw in some olives and garlic, and you’ve made yourself a meal. This recipe serves 6 and should be set to stew for about 5-6 hours, thus the slow cooker. Serve with a side of healthy veggies, like green beans or corn.
