Pepperoni Pizza Popcorn

May 22, 2020

This is probably the shortest post I’ve ever written and shared on this blog, which is great for your scrolling fingers, but it happens to be one of my newest favorite snacks. I can’t get enough of this Pepperoni Pizza Popcorn these days. I’ve always been a fan of popcorn in general, but turn it into pizza flavored popcorn and you’ve got the greatest invention ever made! It’s the perfect snack for when you’re curled up on the couch binging your favorite shows or watching your favorite movies. It also makes for a great party appetizer, even though we’re not having parties at the moment…just something to keep in mind. The one downside is that it’s incredible addictive, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

Spam Corn Dogs

April 10, 2020

Earlier in the week I shared a recipe for Spam Hash and Grits, because I stocked up on said canned product during the grocery shopping craze when all this madness began. Of course, now I’m left with all this Spam and I’m running out of ideas on how to cook it up. The classic pan fried with eggs is good yes, but you can only take so much before things get a little boring. Spam fried rice is also yesterday’s news. So I thought it would be a great idea to share some new and exciting Spam recipes on this here blog. I don’t know about any of you, but I’ve now entered the phase of this quarantine where all I really want is some good ol’ trusty comfort food. Some fun grub that just hits the spot, without taking too much time to make. That’s where these Spam Corn Dogs come in. They’re fun. They’re exciting. They’re out of this world. And they’re just what we need during all this craziness. Trust me.

Meatball Sub Egg Rolls

March 10, 2020

I’m an egg roll lover from way back in the day, and if you’ve been following this blog along for a while now, you’ll know that I’ve shared quite a few recipes for egg rolls and spring rolls along the way. There is literally something for everyone and so if you love them as much as I do, you’ll definitely want to check them out. Loaded potato, buffalo chicken, or cuban sandwich to name a few. This time around, I’m sharing these Meatball Sub Egg Rolls and I don’t think it gets any better than this. If you’re in need of a snack, party appetizer or a game day recipe, you’ll want to give these a try as soon as possible because the sooner you make them, the sooner you’ll be able to eat them all.

Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs

December 30, 2019

This is officially the last post of 2019, and so I wanted to go out with a big bang. The big bang here being these Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs. I saw this recipe over on Delish and immediately knew I wanted to recreate them for this site. They’re the perfect appetizer for parties or gatherings, not just for New Year’s Eve, but for anything throughout the year. I love making deviled eggs because there is hardly any cooking involved and you can make them in advance because when you’re trying to have a party, the last thing you want to do is spend all your time in the kitchen. You should be enjoying the party with your guests, drinking and eating. Speaking of drinking, I’d like to remind you of last year’s New Year’s Eve post. These Champagne Margaritas are still a very good idea. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for coming back time and time again throughout this past year and trying the recipes and leaving comments. This site is only possible because of you. I’m so thankful for this past year and for your continued support. I hope you all have an incredible 2020 and I hope that you’ll continue to join me here on my little corner of the internet. Happy New Year, friends!

Cuban Meat Pies

September 18, 2019

My entire childhood, I grew up eating pastries from this Cuban bakery in Glendale called Porto’s. Whenever there was a party or special occasion or holiday my mom would pick up their potato balls and cuban meat pies to serve as appetizers. I already recreated the potato balls on my site and so I thought it was time to tackle the Cuban Meat Pies. They’re small super flaky savory pastries filled with seasoned ground beef, and they’re my absolute favorite thing on their menu. I’ve teamed up with my friends over at GO BOLD WITH BUTTER to show you how to make an easy rough puff pastry at a home—a much simpler version of the classic dough recipe—that you can make and fill with all sorts of different things. They’re great as an appetizer or snack and can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer!

California Roll Guacamole

September 4, 2019

I’m always making and eating guacamole at my house, and to be honest it’s amazing as it is, untouched. We all know this already, and so it doesn’t really bear repeating. However, every now and then it’s always great to shake up a classic and reinvent it in a new and exciting way. This California Roll Guacamole is something to behold. It brings my favorite sushi roll together with one of my go-to appetizers and snacks. It has all of the usual suspects found in a California Roll (cucumber, imitation crab, a bit of mayo, soy sauce and wasabi) mixed into mashed avocado, and served with homemade crispy fried wonton chips. It’s a dream come true…that is, a dream you never knew you had but now you’ll always want. There’s nothing left but to try it for yourself.
