Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce<\/h6>\n

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. <\/em><\/p>\n

the best classic deviled eggs<\/h6>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Creamy Mushroom Pasta<\/h6>\n

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.<\/em>

deviled avocado eggs<\/h6>\n

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!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

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!<\/em><\/p>\n

hot spinach and artichoke dip<\/h6>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n
