I’m one of those “the spicier the better” kind of people, so I’ll line up for pretty much anything with spicy peppers in it. This is the best ever Jalapeño Popper Dip! I’m a fan in general of jalapeños as you may be able to tell with our Bacon Jalapeño Pinwheels, Nacho Bites, and Santa […]

Making good camp food makes those trips more tolerable for me. These campfire proscuitto wrapped asparagus bring some foodie food to the campsite. We […]
Homemade Lemon Hummus
One of my sons loves hummus. He eats it by the container full. While hummus is healthy and there are far worse things a teen boy could be snacking on, the store bought variety can be expensive. What’s a mama to do?! I don’t want to discourage him from choosing healthy snacks, so the easy solution […]

It’s hard to go wrong with Mexican inspired cuisine. We had […]
