Super Bowl Apps
I KNOW! Super Bowl happened in February. But I made these super delicious apps and totally forgot to post AND take a picture. I was craving these and realized that I never captured the success here. Ugh! Well, as soon as I make them again (likely Fathers Day), I’ll add the pics Buffalo Chicken Sliders […]

Tyrosalata
There once was a restaurant we all loved and then it closed. For years we reminisced about their feta dip. Then, Covid hit and they started up a takeout biz outta their home. Tyrosalata was back and it’s damn good. They didn’t have any this week. So, I went ahead and tried my hand at […]

Jalapeño Poppers, Baked
Made these for the 4th of July and am looking for a BBQ event to bring them to so I can side swipe a few between drinks. It’s the perfect “over served” food. Bacon-y, kinda spicy, cheesey. Sooo good. In fact, I bet we could doctor them up to look Halloween-y. Ok. Time for some […]

Shanghai Lumpia
I went to make Lola Momma’s lumpia recipe and did a quick search to find the ingredients. What? Nothing found. How have I never put the recipe in here? Welp, I winged it because she was asleep since she’s in the PI and we’re in the US and it was a midday project. Everyone says […]
