Honey Almond Goat Cheese Truffles

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

I made these for you to make for your holiday party, so can we pretend that I didn’t make these super classy honey almond goat cheese truffles when I was home alone and then sit and eat all of them in my pajamas while watching The Food Network?

I vote yes. You’d never know, right? Our little secret.

But seriously. ‘Tis the season for subsisting solely on cookies and truffles and cheese and champagne. Whether you’re wearing a gorgeous sparkly dress and stilettos at a classy holiday party or your stretchy pants and a messy bun on the couch at home, it’s just the right thing to do!

BBQ Chicken Bacon Nachos

Hellooooo first football Sunday of the year!!

This is the kind of thing where, if I had my shit together, I would have posted this nacho beauty last weekend so you could make it for the first football Sunday of the year. But since last weekend I was busy wedding dress shopping (!!!) and making cookies, I hope you’ll forgive me. Besides, we have an entire glorious five months of football Sundays to look forward to, so I think we’re still cool.

Besides, eating an entire tray of BBQ chicken bacon nachos was not my least favorite way to spend the first football Sunday of the year. In fact, one might say it was THE BEST WAY EVER to spend the first football Sunday of the year. One might definitely say that.

Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Energy Bites

World, please meet my New Favorite Snack.

I know, I know, I just had a new favorite snack last week. But I have another one today. Can’t I have both? Who only eats one snack a day, anyways?

Not I.

Anyways, while I am well aware that these peanut butter dark chocolate energy bites will not win any beauty contests, I need you to make them A-S-A-P if you’re into delicious, healthy, chocolate-y, peanut butter-y bites of wholesome and naturally-sweetened goodness. Or just chocolate and peanut butter. That’s cool, too.

Brown Sugar Cayenne Bar Nuts

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

It’s been way too long since we did snacks up right and proper.

Which is not cool. Cuz snacks are one of the most important parts of the day! I have never been a three-solid-meals-and-that’s-it kinda girl. I’m more of a breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner-snack kinda girl. So you see why I take my snacks really seriously around here. I’m obsessed with homemade granola bars and hummus (and hummus and more hummus) and pita chips and greek yogurt and granola – I mean, let’s be real, many of my favorite foods are snack-type foods. I just love the variety, the creativity, the snacking possibilities – I can’t help myself!
