Whipped Feta With Ranch Dressing Dip

Whipped Feta With Ranch Dressing Dip

Happy Monday everyone!  This Whipped Feta Dip With Ranch Dressing is pretty awesome!  I don’t normally posts a lot of dips and was a little apprehensive about this one until I tried it.  Sweet, salty, and extra creamy, this dip will be a hit at your party!  I added chopped scallions and honey on top but you can add a mix of hot pepper flakes, chopped pistachios, parsley, and olive oil instead.  Add some zing with a side of crackers and pepperoni for dipping.

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year and couldn’t wait to put my Turkey Table together to show you!  These dishes were bought a few years ago at Home Goods and I love them because they are nice and big for all the fixings!  It actually took me 3 years to get matching dinner and salad plates but I was patient and kept looking :-).  This table is all about fall colors in shades of blue, caramel, gold, burgundy, rust, orange, and green.  Never be afraid to mix patterns...

Thanksgiving Day Doggie Brittle

Thanksgiving Day Doggie Brittle

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year and it got me thinking about what I’m going to make the dogs for their turkey dinner when this Thanksgiving Doggie Brittle came to mind.  I had a box of Stella and Chewy’s Grain Free Stella’s Stew (Beef) in the refrigerator that I needed to use but wasn’t quite sure what to do with it other than pour it over their food.  I figured why not mix some ingredients together and see if they liked my recipe.  This recipe came...

Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Can you believe it’s almost Halloween! I thought these Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies would be perfect for this time of year.  The base is a chocolate cookie that has been given a boost of black gel food coloring which makes these cookies look jet black and goes perfectly with the colors of Halloween.  I sprinkled green sugary crystals and chocolate bits over them right out of the oven and added a Mellocreme Pumpkin on top for a pop of color and sugary sweetness.  There...
