Cheese Beer Dip

Fall comfort food is in full swing in our home. When my husband found this recipe, we knew that we had to try it because it sounded amazing. I mean it’s hard to go wrong with cheese and beer. Guys, this stuff is seriously amazing. The flavor is mostly in the cheese and spices. I highly recommend pairing the cheese beer dip with some homemade soft pretzels. This reminded me and my husband of an appetizer that we shared on vacation last year at 3 Brasseurs in Montreal, Canada, which was amazing. We love being able to recreate great restaurant …

Cheesy Zucchini Chicken and Rice Bake

If you make one casserole this Fall, it’s got to be this one. Guys, I ate the leftovers of this three days in a row and enjoyed every bite. Three days! That says a lot about this dish because I only usually eat leftovers the next day. I get bored easily with leftovers. Or the texture of the leftovers changes to the point where it’s unappealing to me. My husband even nicknamed himself “the leftover vacuum” because he’s usually the one who gets stuck eating all the leftovers. However, this cheesy zucchini chicken and rice bake is the exception and …

Spinach and Feta Naan Pizza

Good bye salad season and hello comfort fatty food season. If I put spinach and feta on a pizza does that make it healthier? It’s kind of like a salad spread out all over a comfort food. Football season kicked off last weekend I wanted some pizza to mark the occasion. Usually I prefer a cheese or pepperoni pizza, but I opted for a sauce-less pizza this time. I’ve made this spinach and feta mixture a few times and we love it. I’ve used this stuff as a filling in quesadillas and as a side dish with spaghetti squash and …

Avocado and Feta Dip

I’m so excited that football season starts today so I’m celebrating with this awesome appetizer. I was excited when I found this dip recipe because I had never tried this combination of ingredients together. We all know about avocado and tomatoes together in some kind of a guacamole concoction, but this also has feta cheese and basil and it’s all tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. Honestly, they had me at feta. The pictures don’t do it any justice, it’s a delicious green mush. 😉 It’s a dip by virtue of it’s original titled recipe. However, this would also be great …

Zucchini Pizza Bites

This is what you get when you cross zucchini and pizza. Now some people (like my husband) may not see these cuties as little pizzas because it’s missing the most delicious part, carbs. Listen, I love bread. Always have and always will. But it’s zucchini season so why not try something a little different. No, this won’t taste quite like pizza, but it comes pretty close. And they are so delicious. They didn’t last 5 minutes in our house. They’re also mad easy to make. It takes longer to preheat the oven than it does to actually make them. Ten …
