Baked Spinach Dip

Besides cucumber dip, this Baked Spinach Dip is my absolute favorite dip/appetizer EVER. And it’s obviously healthy since cream cheese, bacon, mayo, cheddar cheese, spinach is such a prominent ingredient. Duh. How could you go wrong with that list of ingredients? It’s really one of those things you indulge in rarely, but when you do

Pumpkin Pie Cashews

I’m pretty sure these Pumpkin Pie Cashews are the best mixed nuts I have ever made (although Burnt Sugar Almonds are pretty darn good). They are sweet and crunchy and full of all the fall flavors. Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite desserts so I was immediately drawn to this recipe. It originally called for a mixture of

Oven Tacos

I have never really been a big fan of ground beef tacos. I rarely had them as a kid because my mom makes a mean shredded beef that is incredibly easy so that was almost always what filled our taco shells. I surprisingly haven’t shared that recipe, I need to get on that. Although I’m

Catalina Taco Salad

Ever since I was a child I have loved Catalina dressing. Like a dip my chicken nuggets in Catalina while other normal kids dipped in ketchup kind of love. I even liked to drizzle a little on my cottage cheese. Strange, I know. I still love it today, but just on my salad (although I may just have to try the cottage
