Yumm-o-licious! This great dish can be served as a main, meatless meal, paired with a salad. OR you can cut this into about 16 squares and serve as a hearty appetizer. Everytime I have ever made this everyone goes crazy for it. Once again, I used creamy Gruyere cheese, crunchy pine nuts, sauteed spinach and crimini [...]

Artichoke, Spinach, and White Bean Dip
For a “light” appetizer, this little dip was packed full of flavor. Since I am the Gruyere cheese queen, I substituted gruyere for the mozzarella. I also could not find baby artichoke hearts so substituted those for a can of the quartered artichoke hearts and just chopped them. This dip is really kind of [...]
Pesto Palmiers
Easy cheesy appetizers. Don’t you just love it!? The tender puff pastry paired with the sharpness of the pesto, creaminess of the Gruyere and slightly sweet flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes…..equals heaven! Add a glass of wine, and well, nirvana. Did you happen to notice that they have Christmas colors in them? Red and green, [...]
Baked Jalapeno Poppers
OMG! Major taste factor here. This recipe is a prime example on how just a few ingredients can yield such a tasty little appetizer. I mean just because there aren’t very many ingredients does not mean we are compromising on flavor! The bubbly, cheesy filling paired with the slightly crisp bacon and spicy jalapeno is the [...]
Cheesy Zucchini and Red Onion Flatbread
This is full of cheesy goodness, and who doesn’t like the yummy Alouette or Rondole spread? I can also see this with half goat cheese and half cream cheese (mixed together) instead of the Alouette and Gruyere instead of the Parmesan cheese and instead of the onions, roast some delicious little cherry tomatoes. Oh yes, [...]

Hot Corn Dip Served with Tortilla Chips
I first met this highly addictive dip in 2002, January I believe. My dear friend, Karen, brought it to my house to enjoy while we watched the Super Bowl commercials (I’m not a sports fan….sorry). I haven’t been the same since. I dream about it, I make new recipes around it (yes, this is the [...]
Faux Caramel Fruit Dip
I must be on a roll with easy AND delicious little sweet endings. This one really is an easy, delicious, tasty little way to eat your fruit. When you serve this everyone will try to guess what’s in it. Do yourself a favor and just print up a bunch of recipes to give out because [...]
Vidalia Onion Dip
This dip couldn’t be easier or more delicious. Only four little ingredients. The first time I ever made this dip my friend, Rosemary, just couldn’t stop eating it. Ten years later, we’re still making this sinfully delicious dip. Yep, only four ingredients. Equal parts onion, mayonnaise and shredded Swiss cheese with just a little bit [...]
Feta, Spinach and Sausage Frittata Squares
These are perfect little bites for a cocktail party. If you would like to serve them at a brunch, just cut the squares a little bigger. I especially like this recipe because if you have anyone needing to stay away of gluten, this is the perfect dish to serve. It is really just nothing short [...]
