Homemade Junior Mints
I had a blast playing Secret Santa at the office this year!! I always do. This yearly tradition has become a great way to welcome in the holidays, with a bit of mischief and good fun. The week of Thanksgiving we fill out our Santa wish list, then blind draw who we will secretly spoil the week of our annual company Christmas Party. Last week, that all happened in epic proportion. I drew Nick. Nick, who’s favorite candy is Junior Mints.

Spicy Sausage Cheese Balls
Nothing fancy about this Spicy Sausage Cheese Balls recipe. We just had a craving and conveniently had the ingredients on hand. Or so we thought. They’ll be a bonus recipe at the end for Bisquick from scratch.

Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies
At a recent family reunion I discovered these luscious Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies. They are rich, crispy on the edges yet soft on the inside, with a hint of sea salt. Can you see that molten chunk of chocolate there? It’s the ‘Double’ in this cookie’s name.

Cheesy Jalapeno Grits Casserole
I’m off this week. Off from work. My day job is running a door lock and hardware company. Strike that. My day job is motivating and hopefully at times inspiring my work family. Ultimately we all want the same, from work. It’s where we make our living, which funds our passions. This recipe has nothing to do with that. But I wanted to share where I am right now.

Comfort.
Comfort. When you read the word comfort what comes to mind? Perhaps you are at a place in your life where comfort is most often used as a verb, whether providing or receiving it. Since you’re reading this on my food blog, perhaps comfort food is the first thing you think of. When I wrote this post about Salisbury Steak I wanted to prepare and share a dish that said “when I am with you I am complete and comfortable”.

Easy Pad Thai {with Spaghetti Squash}
Pad Thai is my go-to Thai take-out dish. I love everything about it. Traditionally this is a noodle dish and who doesn’t love noodles, especially when they are stir-fried with eggs! Yum!! Today I decided to lighten it up a bit, so I substituted roasted spaghetti squash “noodles” for the classic rice noodles. Results. Two thumbs up in this house.

Fattoush Salad
This salad. This Fattoush Salad is flavor love. I was working hard to use ingredients already on hand. I may be a bit out of control. Pantry and freezer doors are…busting. So I went on offense and typed pita, lettuce, mint, tomato into my search engine field. Kabam!!! Pow!! Fattoush!

French Dip Sandwich
It’s National Sandwich Day. Definitely couldn’t let this one get by without a proper tribute. But I had a slight dilemma. I am currently on grocery store restrictions aka it’s Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week for us. I have promised not to step foot into a store. It’s killing me y’all.
