    Delicious Bites From Disney I had these Hot Honey and Garlic Cream Cheese Baked Hawaiian Rolls for the first time at Disneyland and immediately knew I needed to make them as soon as I got home. These rolls are soft, cheesy, and creamy, with a hint of savory and sweet. They are very easy to assemble and they bake up beautifully. This is a delicious appetizer or a perfect side to soup or chili. I served these to Mister Tipsy who had also enjoyed them with me at Disneyland and he declared them BETTER than Disney! Shhh don’t tell Mickey!…

    Shishito Peppers with Sweet Paprika Aioli

    September 26, 2024thetipsyhousewife

    A Light Snackable With a Bit of a Kick It is Shishito Pepper season and you need to be eating this delightful green treat. If you aren’t familiar with shishitos, we see them here in the Midwest in the late summer months. As someone with a taste for spice that doesn’t want to burn my tastebuds entirely, I find these peppers are the Goldilocks option for spiciness. Shishitos have a slightly sweet flavor with a hint of smokiness. Only one in ten are actually hot and spicy. The rest have spice to them but not a major heat. They make…

    An Oldie But Goodie Party Appetizer Liver Sausage Spread is a classic retro recipe that everyone ends up loving even if they are not sure about it at first. It’s just braunschweiger blended with cream cheese, minced onions and pickles plus some seasonings and herbs. This is best served with a classic soda cracker. The recipe is rich, decadent, and delicious. It is always a treat. I know that this will not be appealing to some, but it is truly a delight. Each time I have served this to people “who don’t like it” they end up loving it and…

    A Game Day Delicacy Football season is coming up and you know what that means: delicious game day food! These Coffee Rubbed Pork Tenderloin Sliders take a little more work than your standard football snack but theyére well worth the effort.

I originally created it for a promotion I did with a local organization called Aspire Coffeeworks, but Iéll get into that later. The full, printable recipe card will be at the end of this post, but first…
