Elegant Appetizer Recipes for Your Holiday Party

December 17, 2015 by

Just because you’re throwing a holiday party at home doesn’t mean that it has to be plain and casual. Add a bit of class to this year’s soiree by serving elegant appetizers that are just as artistic as they are tasty. Here are three great ideas that are so delicious, your guests will think you had the party catered.

Baked Prosciutto and Brie with Apple Butter [Cooking Channel TV]
The salty taste of prosciutto, the gooey texture of brie, and the sweet tang of apple butter all mingle seamlessly in these appetizer toasts. Best of all, there’s no cooking involved in the preparation, so you can throw these together right before your guests arrive.

Spinach and Goat Cheese Tartlets [Food Network]
Phyllo dough is a very popular base for many types of appetizers because it’s so versatile and easy to work with, and these tartlets are a great example. The dough forms a small cup that’s filled with goat cheese, spinach, and a number of herbs and spices that’s perfectly light and cheesy.

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail [My Recipes]
Instead of the usual creamy shrimp dip, make this cool, refreshing alternative with an adventurous Mexican fare flavor. Serve it with tortilla chips and a freshly ground pepper garnish.

Nothing Bundt Cakes: Treat Yourself to Something Sweet

December 3, 2015 by

The folks at Nothing Bundt Cakes know that few things in life are better than savoring a bite of sweet, delicious cake made with fresh eggs and real butter, so that's exactly what this Sugar Land bakery specializes in making. You'll find plenty of full-sized, 8- and 10-inch bundt cakes, which can be frosted and decorated however you like (they can even be stacked into a custom tiered cake for special occasions).

But the real specialties of Nothing Bundt Cakes are its single-serving "bundtlets" and bite-sized "bundtinis," each of which are sold by the dozen and come in your choice of 10 different flavors. Try ordering a dozen or two for your next party in a variety of flavors like red velvet (made with real buttermilk), pecan praline (studded with candied pecans), and classic chocolate (ask for chocolate chips to be added to the batter for an extra-decadent version).

These Chili Recipes Help Warm Chilly Evenings

November 19, 2015 by

All it takes is a homemade dinner of something warm and comforting to get you into that cozy fall feeling. Here are a few chili recipes that you’ll love to make on those chilly autumn evenings.

Pumpkin Chili [oliviascuisine.com]
While you’re likely used to seeing pumpkin in every cookie, coffee, and pie as soon as summer is over, this recipe for pumpkin chili will show you a new and exciting way to use everyone’s favorite fall gourd. It can be made on the stovetop or in the slow-cooker if you’re pressed for time, and it becomes even more festive if you serve it inside of a small, hollowed pumpkin.

Slow-Cooker Chocolate Chili With Three Beans [bhg.com]
If chocolate in chili seems too good to be true (and maybe a little bit strange), you’ll become a believer once you taste this unique recipe. Best of all, you can make it in the slow-cooker, so you’ll come home from a long day at work to a warm, home-cooked meal.

Slow-Cooker Turkey Chili [allrecipes.com]
A healthy turkey chili cuts down on fat and calories compared to the traditional beef version, and this one is also very easy to make. Just toss all of the legumes, veggies, and spices into the slow-cooker and you’ll have a hearty and nutritious meal in just over four hours.
