Hey there! I seem to always serve a veggie tray with some sort of dip for every family gathering. It was no different this weekend when we hosted a party for my son’s three year birthday. Really, what’s not to love… they’re crunchy and perfectly …
Oh, how I LOVE hotdish. I mean, it’s a one dish meal with veggies, meat and usually a starch, warm and scrumptious to provide comfort and joy with every bite. Just the thought of a warm wintery hotdish (not to mention eating them) brings back a …

Appetizers for dinner, like these salty sweet jalapeno poppers, are always a great thing, especially when it involves hanging out with awesome friends. That was our agenda this past weekend. Well, actually it was more like, stare out the window with my coffee and ponder the new snow …
