Hi, guys! I was actually making this Antipasto Salad for the fam this week and wondered why I'd never shared it before; It's a delicious, filling, salad-for-dinner option that can be literally thrown together in minutes and everyone loves it. It's a Romaine base topped with all of your favorites from the Antipasto tray: pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.

It looks like you spent a lot of time preparing it, but it's made up of mostly, if not all, pre-packaged, jarred, or canned items and the homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette is so easy, you don't even need measuring cups or spoons and it is so good! You can even leave out the pepperoni for a meatless meal option. Give it a try this week and you'll be adding it into your meal planning for sure!

Hey, guys! Today I have a recipe for a popular salad dressing and dip flavor: Ranch! It's so easy to make it yourself and tastes so much fresher than store-bought. This is my go-to recipe and you can use it for a thicker veggie dip or for a pourable salad dressing. If you love fresh restaurant-style ranch, you'll love this recipe!

I'm a huge fan of Asian cuisine and with Chinese New Year coming up on February 16th this year, it's the perfect time to share my recipe for homemade pickled ginger. It's super-easy to make and pairs perfectly with all of your favorite Asian dishes. Dumplings are a lucky food on CNY, so I'm serving savory pork potstickers that go perfectly with this delicious sweet and spicy ginger.

A date night in can be a fun way to reconnect, especially when the eats are as yummy as this. I'm going all out and instead of a still wine, I'm serving an amazing Brut Rosé sparkling wine along with a dish of steamed artichokes with a Mock Hollandaise. What is a Mock Hollandaise? It's easier to make, has less calories, but is still just as rich and delicious as the original.

With holiday entertaining still in full swing, I've got a delicious, crowd-pleasing recipe for you. Everyone loves sliders, but these have a twist. They're modeled on the Po' Boy sandwich using delicious Alaska Cod breaded in a Creole-spiced batter, served on a crusty, rustic slider bun, and piled on a platter with all of the fixins so your guests can dress them how they like. I've also included the recipe for a homemade Remoulade sauce for that authentic Po' Boy flavor.

With the holidays rapidly approaching, it's time to start thinking about entertaining. You guys know I love a tasty dish, but there's nothing like shortcuts to make a get-together come together quickly. I have a fantastic recipe for an Orange Pecan Cranberry Chutney that makes the perfect sauce, spread, or dip during the holidays and it takes less than 20 minutes to whip up!

You can make a big batch to have on hand when you need a quick dish to bring to a party and use it in so many ways, like as a dip for these delish breaded mushrooms and a sauce for cocktail meatballs. Give it a try and you'll be hooked on this tart, sweet sauce that's perfect with any savory dish!

Football season is officially here and I have a great tailgating breakfast for you: Chicken & Waffle dippers with an amazing vanilla and coffee-infused syrup to help you wake up and get going. Oh my gosh y'all, this syrup is the stuff of coffee dreams! It is so easy to make and will knock your socks off with its deep, rich, mocha-vanilla flavor.

I'll also tell you how you can get the chance to win an all-expense-paid trip to Houston for the Big Game, so keep reading!

Tacos are such a versatile food and can be filled with any protein you like. These tacos are stuffed with marinated, grilled shrimp and topped with a fresh roasted tomatillo salsa. Once you've made the salsa (the recipe makes 2 pints and can be made ahead and frozen), it takes no time at all to marinate and grill the shrimp. This would make for a quick weeknight meal for the family or an impressive dish for a weekend cookout.

I don't know if Pimiento cheese spread is a Southern thing, but I do know that I grew up with this stuff. It was a favorite of my mom and oldest brother, but it took me a while to like the taste. Once I did, though, I loved it!

It's made from shredded cheddar cheese mixed with diced, sweet Pimiento peppers and a few other things, and it makes a beautiful, creamy spread for sandwiches and crackers. If you've never had it, it's worth trying, and homemade is so much better than the store-bought versions.

I love coffeehouse drinks, but they can cost you a bundle over time. My favorite of the bunch is an iced, non-fat, no whip, White Chocolate Mocha, usually with 4 shots of espresso. If I'm not shaking by the time I've finished it, they didn't make it right.

Years ago I had a dish like the above photo at a restaurant and fell in love! I could taste mayo, and sweetness, and some kind of chilis, but I couldn't figure out how to duplicate it. I searched the internet and found a million ratios of the same 3 or so ingredients, so this is mine. You can batter and fry, or bake the protein of your choice (we've had this sauce on shrimp and chicken), or you can buy pre-made battered shrimp or chicken for a quick weeknight meal. This sauce takes less than 5 minutes to whip up and it is amazing!
