Key Lime Beergaritas

Tortilla Chip Crusted Oven-Fried Ravioli with Spicy Fontina Queso Fundido
This recipe takes the classic cheese dip to another level and then some.
Bacon Candy
With only three ingredients, this is the ultimate party pick. I think I may have featured this recipe before, but it is worthy of a 2nd look.
Cheesy Stuffed Pesto Garlic Bread
This is a recipe that Oprah would approve of! It is easy to make, as it uses store bought pesto. I find homemade pesto very easy to make and so much better than the jar variety. I think it would make this bread just beyond delish.
Pomegranate Guacamole with Fried Plantain Chips
Guac and potato chips are so last season. Surprise your guest with this festive rendition of classic football fare.
Crunch Bars
With a sugar cookie base, these chocolate iced bars can be topped with anything that you would like. The popcorn is my pick for the perfect sweet and salty bite.
Smokey Bacon Chili
Now I make a good pot of chili, but it has never had bacon it it. This sounds delicious. I mean, doesn't bacon make everything better? And to add to the tasty texture, it calls for Italian Sausage, which is an amazing addition!
Cheese-Centered Mini Corn Breads
If you are serving chili, these are a must. I have made alot of corn bread in my life. Why haven't I thought of stuffing it with cheese before? It's not just any cheese, it's Fontina. Yum!
Emma's Favorite Baked Pasta
If you had to select just one side dish to serve to any crowd, this would be the one. This recipe is uncomplicated and quick to make.
Spicy Feta Crab Dip with Old Bay Za’atar Pita Wedges
You better double this recipe, as I think you will see the bottom of the bowl quickly!
Orange Chicken Meatballs
Don't you just love changing up a classic? These meatballs are a touch lighter than the norm, with a sauce that sounds divine! Think orange juice, apricot jam and sambal sauce.
Caramelized Onion Dip With Frizzled Leeks
I want you to put down that envelope of Onion soup NOW! Do you have any idea what is inside? Trust me, it's all things bad for you. Impress your guests with a homemade version that is so much healthier than Lipton's!
Nutella Chocolate Football Truffles
I couldn't resist these fancy footballs. They star a rich ganache made of semisweet chocolate and creamy Nutella. Need I say more?
Hazelnut Profiteroles with Blue Cheese and Grapes
Now this is a sophisticated bite! It's a creamy mixture of blue cheese and mascarpone. Chef Shawn McClain serves these at two of his Chicago Restaurants.
Antipasto Skewers
A recipe for those who don't want to cook. With a look so fun and colorful, these will be hard to resist, but easy to eat.
Bacon, Oatmeal, and Raisin Cookies
Bacon in a cookie? Why not? In fact, this recipe is the most exciting cookie recipe that I have seen in a long while. I think this a must make when I finish with my no sugar diet.
Slow Cooker Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
An incredibly easy recipe that also is quite unique and healthier than some!
Mini Bagel Dogs With Cheese
This one is for "Mr. Shop This," who loves a good dog. Remember those pigs in a blanket mom use to make with biscuits? These are better, and made with pizza dough!
Rocky Road Pudding
This recipe had me at Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream! I really love the look of individual desserts lined up on a tray or table. Make the pudding in advance and scoop the ice cream right before serving. The crowd will roar! Amazon has a stylish set of Mini Parfait Glasses & Spoons that are perfect for this dish!
Pepperoni Pizza Popcorn
Nervous football fans will enjoy munching on popcorn. This recipe offers a kick of its' own with sundried tomatoes, bite sized pepperoni pieces, Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
I happen to love serving crostini. In fact I did last evening for company. What's not to love about oven toasted bread (I do mine in a grill pan) with fresh basil, lots of Parmesan, marinara sauce and a meatball?
Half Baked Harvest
Caramelized Pork Tacos With Pineapple Salsa
These terrific looking tacos are topped off with a chili mayo sauce and a drizzle of sweet and spicy salsa. This recipe truly lives up to the websites name! You can find Taco Holders, which are a must for a crowd, at Amazon. Recipe at
