Who is ready for some football? Frankly I could care less about watching anything to do with sports but I do love football season for the food. Mister Tipsy loves to sit around on Sunday and watch his games and snack. This works out because I love to feed him. I was thinking of something different to make for game day and I foraged for ingredients in my pantry and fridge and came up with these fantastic Bacon Bbq Potato Chip Nachos. I have to warn you, they are super addicting. Since I have made these Bacon Bbq Potato Chip…

Once you make these Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs, your friends and family are going to ask you to make them all the time. What I love about these Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs is that you can serve them as a build your own appetizer or dress them up for your guests with all the fixings.

What I love about these Mexican Tortilla Roll Ups is how versatile…

While I would never probably buy the beef just to snack on, it did trigger a memory of a recipe I saw in my Grandma’s cookbook of a party dip that was popular in the 1960’s. I personally am a big fan of party dip. In fact, one of my favorite Aunts always has some kind of homemade dip in her fridge and I love going there. It is such a great snack to eat with veggies or crackers and perfect for busy…

Continue ReadingThis past week I have been in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona visiting my Aunt and Uncle. It been an annual trip these last few years and every time I am here, to thank them, I cook them and their friends a five course meal. Each year there is a different theme for the menu. This year I decided to go with an Asian theme. Part of the fun of cooking this special meal is discovering new stores in the area to purchase the ingredients. This year was no exception. I found a spectacular Asian Market in Phoenix and we spent a…

Continue ReadingI was catering an appetizer themed party this past Saturday and was trying to come up with new ideas for appetizers. As a brand ambassador for Chateau Foods I happen to have an endless supply of dumplings in my freezer and was brainstorming ways to work them into this menu. I saw someone making French Onion Soup over on Instagram and decided to find a way to combine the two. It took me a couple trials to get the recipe for these French Onion Soup Bites perfect, but once I got it right I knew I had to share it…
