Pumpkin Goat Cheese Bites

Okay, I have a confession to make, I’m not a pumpkin spice person. I’ve never tried the latte. I don’t like pumpkin pie. Do you hate me yet? I do enjoy pumpkin bread, especially if it’s loaded with chocolate chips, but usually I prefer my squash to be more of […]

Avocado Feta Dip

Who’s pumped for Super Sunday? I love me some football, but TBH the NFL doesn’t do anything for me. I’m a college football fan all the way (and roll damn tide.) You know I’ll get behind any reason to eat though. I love Super Bowl snacking because it means lots […]

Five Steps to a Bomb Cheese Plate

You should know by now that I have a thing for cheese. My first job was at a cheese store, so one could say I know a thing or two about fromage (French for cheese – see, I know things!) I could make a cheese and charcuterie plate for dinner […]

Cookie Butter Baked Brie

Y’all. I can’t even with this one. So it goes a little something like this.. I win one of those Instagram contests that you tag a friend to enter (exciting, right?!) and receive a jar of this deliciousness in the mail. I eat a spoonful then put in the cabinet. […]
