Fried Bocconcini with Spicy Tomato Sauce

Sorry about this one.  It’s definitely not on your New Year’s resolution list.
The Super Bowl is coming up (in case you haven’t heard), so the next few posts will be some fancy-schmancy appetizers for the big game.  Well, actually, they...

Poppy Seed and Sea Salt Crackers

I never had even thought about making my own homemade crackers before.  It was like an epiphany when I found this recipe and realized how simple and straight forward making crackers can be. Now I can tailor the spices and seasonings to my own liking, avo...

California Style Tuna Salad Rolls

This is a fun appetizer idea that I knew I had to try.  It’s like sushi, but it’s not.  And, while it looks like sushi, it saves you the mess and confusion (at least in my book) of making your own “sushi rolls” from scratch, but y...

Tortilla Chip Chicken Strips
I woke this morning on the far right side of the bed, rubbed my eyes, reached out to greet the hubby good day. Instead, of finding him, I found three little people between us. One. Two. Three snoozing kids crowding our bed.*Their big brother introduced th...

Mad Dogs, Englishmen and a Lump of Cream Cheese
Back in my younger, unsupervised days, I lived a little too close to the fire. The weekend would hit, we'd scrape off the trappings of reasonable professional people, and we'd drink.

With friends in the bar business and friends in the food business... we...

Roasted Garlic Hummus

I have a little secret.
And, it’s this:  I am not a big fan of hummus. There.  I said it.
There are only a few times when I actually crave it…and one of those is when I visit a particular Egyptian restaurant here in town that I swear has the ...

It's time to party! The kids and I hopped in the minivan this afternoon, ice skated across snowy roads, and stocked up on New Years Eve party goods. Tomorrow's celebration will begin at 11 a.m. and end at Noon. We're not trying to be New Years party poo...

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
I made three people who hate mushrooms eat these today. I didn't even feel bad about it. I'm like the seventh merry murderess of the Cell Block Tango. Cold, heartless, ridiculously sexy in fishnet stockings (okay, maybe not the last one).*Would you believ...

Bruschetta with Black Olive Pesto, Ricotta, and Basil

I have a weakness for bruschetta.
I recently served these when my family members were in town for the weekend.  We had a full Italian dinner planned-complete with two different main courses, finger foods, and salad.  I was quite excited to make these, co...

St. Elmo’s (almost) Cocktail Sauce

There’s a steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis which is almost an entire century old.  It’s known for its fabulous menu of steaks…..and knock-your-socks-off cocktail sauce.  It’s called St. Elmo’s.
I’ve only been to thi...

Baked Brie en Croûte


It’s very apparent that I am a huge fan of cheese.  I don’t care what kind it is, how it aged, who made it, or if it’s soft, hard, or semi-ripe.  It’s all good to me.
Which is why, when I was asked to help with the appetizers and...

Recipe: Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Herbs
I find it really funny that deviled eggs are a super-popular Easter treat, ya know, since the word DEVIL is featured so prominently.  Tee.  Anywho, since I don’t celebrate Easter, I get my satanic egg fix at picnics – and lo and behold, I went...

Recipe: Spiced Beef Empanadas
While most of my cocktail party prep/cooking went off without a hitch, I did have one pretty major hiccup with an egg roll dish involving phyllo dough.  That stuff is HARD to work with, by gosh.  I just didn’t leave myself enough time, and phyllo is...

Recipe: Smoky Chipotle Hummus
If the caramelized onion dip was the shining star of the cocktail party show, then this hummus was the unassuming supporting actor who’s a dark horse to win an Oscar (sorry, it’s the best analogy that came to mind).  It had a spicy, smoky kick...
