Spinach and artichoke dip is pretty much a guaranteed hit. The only thing I could think to make it better was to put on some buttery, garlic crostini to make it super easy to grab when you’re in a group. It’s the perfect appetizer for a girls’ night, game day, and anything in between. I added garlic butter to the toast, but if you wanted … Continue reading Spinach and Artichoke Dip Garlic Crostini
Any time I get together with friends, I always make buffalo chicken dip. And even though it’s a staple in the friend group, I want to switch it up every now and then.

With a super easy … Continue reading antipasto bites
I have always had something against mushrooms. Something about their flavor, or maybe their texture, never sat right with me. When I was young, I would avoid mushrooms at all costs.

The mushroom becomes a complementary … Continue reading stuffed mushrooms
simply delicious.
