Appetizers & Snacks

Don't make a face at the computer, this is some tasty snacking and for a fraction of the calories you're used to putting down the pie hole. Come on let's get snacking.

Spanakopita is one of my favorite thing's in the world. There is just something about the savory taste of pastry wrapped up in spinach, feta cheese, onions... every bite is like a trip to the Mediterranean.

Call me a weirdo but I love the imitation crab salad you almost always find at a buffet. I like to eat it on crackers on a buttery crescent and by the forkful. Recently I thought, shoot, I don't have to go to a buffet, I can make this at home... I did and it was a hit!

Usually when you see pinwheels at a party they are filled with yummy savory stuff. Cream cheese is a must more often than not, but then its a free for all what you put in there. When making pinwheels you can load them up with jalapenos, lunch meats and olives or a variety of veggies, this time, we're gonna sweeten them up.

I would assume the name says it all, my co-worker Josh and I (he loves to cook) were trying to come up with a way to perfect another recipe I have done and this is what we decided would work best. And with a tube of biscuits and crescent rolls in my fridge, I almost wanted to wrap them, which I may still do. :)

Bacon, I have rarely met a person that doesn't like bacon; sure we like it in different ways, but we mostly like bacon. So let's start cooking with bacon.

Jalapeno poppers, love them! If they were sitting in front of me and you were detained, I'd eat them all. It's true, I'm a popper pig. So when I saw a recipe that made them into a dip, I said I can do that (better)

Recently I saw a recipe that made me say, hmmm! I thought what a great idea now how can I do it differently? I think I figured it out and the yummy wagon is waiting to take you to tastyville. Okay, goofy talk aside, check this out.

You know me, if I can figure out how to put bacon in something and wrap it in a pastry, I am all over it! Here we go again.

My friend Chris and I made these last weekend and they were so good. And as with any recipe, we started thinking of all the different ways that you could do them.

Time is running out to get your recipes to me. I will be picking a recipe winner soon and want you to have your fair chance at getting to spend some time cooking with me, it'll be fun, I promise.

I love weekends filled with easy snackable foods, game or no game-this recipe is good with movies too.
