This is the easiest, most delicious and impressive Halloween treat! It is always a hit with both kids and adults. You can use either semi sweet, milk or dark chocolate for the base and white chocolate for the colors you choose to add on top. I got some Halloween sprinkles and gold spray to put…

Fig Arugula Prosciutto Bites
If you are looking for an amazing flavor combination, look no further! This is my absolute favorite hors d’oeuvre to serve when people come over. The sweetness of the fig, paired with the saltiness of the prosciutto, all tied together by the arugula, make this the perfect bite. It is very quick to make and…
Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Salad
This is the perfect salad for the colder months ahead. It is warm, colorful, delicious, and filling enough to serve as a main course. My favorite way to cook sweet potatoes is to roast them. They caramelize on the outside, but still stay soft and juicy on the inside. The chickpeas have a nice crunch,…
White Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
When I think of Fall, I think of pumpkin everything! Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin soups and especially pumpkin desserts. These muffins are the perfect fall breakfast or snack option. My kids absolutely love these muffins because they are not overpowering with pumpkin flavour, but just enough. Even my husband, who does not really like pumpkin, loves…

My go-to cookie this time of year is a chewy gingerbread cookie. I seem to…
Maple Bourbon Bacon Wrapped Apricot Jalapeno Bites
These little bites are packed with flavor. The sweet apricot pairs beautifully with the salty bacon, and the touch of heat from the jalapeno is an unexpected surprise. You can serve them without the glaze, but I love the maple bourbon taste, as well as the shiny finish that the glaze gives the bites. This…
Cranberry Salsa
Living in Texas, salsa is always a must. This holiday version is fresh and delicious. It can be served with crackers or tortilla chips as an appetizer or right along with the turkey as part of the main meal. I like to serve it as is, but it is also delicious served over a block…
Cranberry Rosemary Mule
If I could put the flavor of the holiday season into a cocktail, this would be it. The cranberry, rosemary simple syrup together with the ginger beer and lime give this a sweet, refreshing flavor that is perfect for the season. I like to freeze some cranberries to throw in along with a sprig of…
