Hi, guys! As the holidays approach and I think about new dishes to serve at my own family gatherings, recipes like this emerge. It's not the usual savory dip recipe but goes well with savory dippers. This cream cheese dip is sweetened with honey and stuffed with chopped dried dates, apricots, figs, and cranberries, then drizzled in a little extra honey and garnished with more dried fruit and rosemary.
It's a hearty, creamy dip, and contains some good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel better about serving such a sweet treat! It's also great to make for those who are gluten-free, wheat-free, or who don't eat refined sugar. Keep reading for the recipe!

Delicious Antipasto Salad with an Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette!
Thursday, September 19, 2019
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!

Hi, guys, we had a fantastic weekend! My daughter's birthday was Friday and she wanted a pizza party at the lake with her friends, so we spent all day having fun in the sun.

I've got some great ideas for your own beachy snack table, plus keep reading till the end to enter to win a share of $500 in Walmart gift cards!

Hi, I hope y'all are having a fabulous holiday season! We had a great Christmas celebration and ate way too much, but now we're getting ready for New Year's and I have a fun cocktail for your NYE celebrations: a Cherry Megmosa! The Megmosa is just like a Mimosa, but with grapefruit juice instead of orange juice, but I've given this one a sweet twist with maraschino cherry juice! Get the instructions below!
The Christmas holiday is almost here and I'm so excited! Today's post is a fun and fairly easy recipe for a Gingerbread flavored Eggnog! If you've never made eggnog it can sound complicated, but it's really not. The biggest thing is being careful not to scramble your eggs. :) This recipe can be made boozy right off the bat, but you can also make it alcohol-free for the kiddos and let the adults mix in a shot of rum, brandy, or whiskey themselves. Get the recipe and instructions below!

I've got an easy recipe today that's sure to wow your cheese-loving holiday guests! It's a 3-tier Cheese Ball Tower and making it is super-simple because I'm using pre-made cheese balls paired with my own toppings. For my tiers, I've paired the sharp cheddar with nutty pecans, port wine with sweet and tart dried cherries, and the smoky bacon with crunchy almonds. I also made some cute cheese ball pinecones to decorate the tray with and I'll show you how to make it all in the post below!

A mild spring in the south lasts approximately 2 days. Saying it's a bit warm here is an understatement, but there's nothing better when the heat hits than taking to the porch for lazy days and cold drinks. This Fruit-Infused Sparkling Cocktail is low cal and low carb + super-refreshing and you can serve it with a tray of cut fruits so that everyone can mix up their favorite flavors and have a delish snack!
