Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce
This was a great novelty for my picky family – and everyone loved it. I used two different types of fresh store-bought ravioli. The sage had a very interesting texture and was very good. The pecans were also a great addition.

the best classic deviled eggs
I LOVE this recipe, it’s my go-to with just a few changes to make it milder for a younger crowd: white vinegar instead of ACV and yellow mustard instead of Dijon. Great basic recipe, thank you so much for sharing.

Creamy Mushroom Pasta
This mushroom pasta is to die for!!!! We used umami, shiitake, and baby Bella mushrooms and pappardelle pasta. My kids were just as obsessed with it as I was. We would 100% do this again.

deviled avocado eggs
I used to not eat boiled eggs unless they were in a salad, let alone straight eggs. Structural problems. These eggs are amazing! The bacon gives it some texture. Paired with reading the book of Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” for children. Tangy, cilantro-y, so delicious!!!

Maple Pecan Baked Brie

Garlic Butter Clams with White Wine Cream Sauce
Picked up fresh clams at the local fish market today. These were perfect! Served with plenty of crusty bread and a lovely Chardonnay.

garlic shrimp and avocado crostini
It’s really nice. I substituted minced cilantro for parsley and spread the spicy guacamole on the toast before adding the shrimp mixture to prevent the liquid from softening the toast. Great for a cocktail party- or breakfast – anytime!

greek turkey meatballs
Love this recipe. I made it as written and served it in cous cous with zucchini and sprinkled feta on top. I will make this again!

hot spinach and artichoke dip
I absolutely loved this recipe and plan to make it again and again. Some of these dips come out dry or tasteless but not Damn Delicious! This recipe starts with the flavor, garlic. The only thing I changed was the spinach. I used fresh spinach, which has no problems and tastes great. Thanks for the great recipe.

Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots
Yes, these are so delicious! We made these for a steak dinner and they were so delicious and easy to make! They are a great surplus too! Must try!

Hot Mussels in Tomato Cream Sauce
I did this last night. It was fun! The recipe was very easy to follow and made the “scary” seafood ingredient approachable.

Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bombs
I made this for a class on this recipe back in 2018 in high school and it turned out so well I got an A+ and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It’s been 4 years.

Creamy Chorizo ​​Queso Dip
I just made this tonight and it was so delicious. Couldn’t stop eating. The only change I made was to dial down the jalapeno pepper. Definitely a keeper!

Garlic Rosemary Beef Tenderloin
Disclaimer: I am not a good cook. But this recipe makes my family think I am! We had it for Christmas last year and are doing it again this year. It’s melt in the mouth delicious. Perfection.

cranberry apple sangria
We did this last year for Thanksgiving, and we are doing it again this year. Everyone loved it! It was a fall/winter sangria.
– Erica

Garlic Rosemary Lamb Chops
Made it last night and it was a hit! He loved the marinade – the perfect added flavor. I usually just season them and put them under the broiler, but the marinade and heating them on the stove took it to another level.

This looks great! I gave the idea to use my copper paella pan. Good!

How to Cook a Ribeye Steak
We didn’t use the bone and it was still very tasty and had a nice crust on it. Make a mess on the stovetop but this is our new way to get steaks – the grill outside will be lonely!

Split the Garlic Bread Wreath
I topped them with mozzarella. Definitely a crowd pleaser! It will be in football shape for the Superbowl Sunday.
