New Year, new dip. Every year for New Year’s Eve, my family and I make snacks to eat on all night. This year, I made this Baked Banana Pepper Dip and it was a big hit. It’s tangy, creamy, and extremely cheesy. I served this with bagel chips and crackers, and both tasted great with… Continue reading Baked Banana Pepper Dip The post Baked Banana Pepper Dip appeared first on .|
There’s something about roasted butternut squash. It’s one of the most delicious flavors out there, in my opinion. Even when it’s just roasted with oil, salt and pepper, it gives you a phenomenal flavor. It’s sweet but not *too* sweet. It’s nutty and gets little caramelized bits around the edges while roasting. It’s my favorite… Continue reading Sausage & Butternut Squash Orzo The post Sausage & Butternut Squash Orzo appeared first on .|
Time stands still the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Do you need to take a shower? When is the last time you got out of those gray sweatpants? How many pounds of fancy cheeses can one person consume? These are all great questions many ask during that week. Many people, including me, of… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Snowball Cookies The post Cranberry Orange Snowball Cookies appeared first on .|
My family has several Christmas traditions, like eating snacks/appetizers on Christmas Eve, watching A Christmas Story on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and making a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning. We’ve used a few different breakfast casserole recipes over the years. My husband loves this biscuits and gravy one. I love this traditional bread,… Continue reading Pigs in a Blanket Breakfast Casserole The post Pigs in a Blanket Breakfast Casserole appeared first on .|
I like to experiment with cookies over the holidays. I’ll make a few traditional ones, like sugar cookies, and then I’ll make something new, like these Eggnog Snickerdoodle Thumbprint Cookies. I have to say, these are the best cookies I’ve made so far this holiday season. The snickerdoodle base is the perfect cookies. It’s soft… Continue reading Eggnog Snickerdoodle Thumbprint Cookies The post Eggnog Snickerdoodle Thumbprint Cookies appeared first on .|
If there’s one Christmas treat that I can make really well, it’s anything coated in chocolate. One of my favorites to make is Peppermint Bark Graham Crackers. I’m not a candy-maker and I hate dealing with candy thermometers. Give me a bowl of melted chocolate, though, and I can whip up just about anything. SEE… Continue reading Peppermint Bark Graham Crackers The post Peppermint Bark Graham Crackers appeared first on .|
I’ve never been a big fan of fudge, but there are some people in my family who love it. Because of that, I usually have to make it for the holidays so they can enjoy it. My mom and I have used the same fudge recipe for years. It’s known as “fantasy fudge” or “miracle… Continue reading Secret Ingredient Fudge The post Secret Ingredient Fudge appeared first on .|
A lot of people are hosting family for several days, or weeks, over the holidays. Think: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I think the Griswold’s family comes to the house on, what, December 16th? That’s a lot of time in close quarters with your family before Christmas. If you need a quick, easy, and bulk breakfast… Continue reading McGriddle Bites The post McGriddle Bites appeared first on .|
I’m not the best candy maker in the world. I’m too afraid to make my own caramel and hard candies. Something needs to be a specific temperature for a specific amount of time? That sounds way too difficult for me. Instead, I stick to chocolate-covered-things for Christmas. I’m a master at tempering chocolate (as long… Continue reading Pretzel Peanut Butter Balls The post Pretzel Peanut Butter Balls appeared first on .|

This football season has been bizarre, to say the least. It’s usually a big fanfare around here when August turns to September and football teams start to kick off. This year we weren’t sure if that was even going to happen, much less if it should happen. We’ve covered game cancellations, COVID-19 test results of… Continue reading Dallas Cowboys Soup| leencuisine.com
