Prosciutto Pear Cups Appetizer

I went searching for a new appetizer to serve to my guests on New Year's Eve and I stumbled upon this little gem! I love that it's easy to make but looks very gourmet!  I also love that the prosciutto is cooked because I'm just not a fan of raw prosciutto! The flavors are perfect...slightly sweet with a touch of saltiness!

4 Ingredient Stove Top Pizza

I never knew that making pizza could be so easy! The way I usually make it takes A LOT more time and effort! But this recipe was ready in about 20 minutes from start to finish!

Champagne Cookies

Got Champagne? Then make some cookies! That's what I did with some leftover pink champagne from New Years Eve! These cookies taste very similar to a sweet bread...not too sweet, nice and soft with slightly crunchy edges. And I love how pretty they look! These cookies taste great when eaten with a glass of champagne...or a cup of coffee! You can use any champagne, but I suggest using a not so dry one so that the cookies have some sweetness.

Cream Cheese Penguins

These are almost too cute too eat! But they're delicious so eat them! I've made these many times for parties and they are always a huge hit! I've even made them in a Super Bowl theme with a football shaped cheese ball surrounded by these penguins. Also a huge hit especially with the men! I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com.  I added the dry ranch dressing to the cream cheese for more flavor.

Alfredo...yum!

Doesn't this look like a big bowl of creamy pasta goodness?

 

Roasted Squash Seeds

Well it sort of is...except it's not pasta!

Cannoli Crumb Pie

I can never say 'no' to a new way to make cannoli. I've made Cannoli Dip and a parfait called Cannoli Cream Dessert. So why not make a Cannoli Crumb Pie? This pie got rave reviews from a food friend of mine, so that was even more incentive for me to try it!

Classic Stuffing

I know Thanksgiving has come and gone but stuffing is great any day of the year! I make this as a side dish to chicken, pork chops, ham and even fish! This can also be used as a layer for so many different kinds of savory casseroles! So don't just think of stuffing as a Thanksgiving food! Try it for your everyday meals also!
