I needed a great HOT Dip recipe.
So off to Pinterest Wonderland I went. Whoa. The choices are vast, diverse, and oh so cheesy. Hot Pizza Dip sounded too good to pass up.
There’s the seasoned cheese layer, your favorite marinara sauce, favorite toppings, then more cheese. Off to the oven we go. Ezzy-pizzy. Continue reading »

For our Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday I served Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies. It was my secret weapon to help keep me on my Healthy Choices plan.

Herb Infused Polenta {with Poached Eggs}.
Not exactly what I had in mind as I entered the kitchen this morning. However sitting here just minutes after enjoying it for Sunday brunch I’m in love with the flavors lingering on my tongue.

Snow-Day Chicken Pot Pie.
We were snowed in again and completely made the best of it. Let me remind you we live in the sunny south, so snow days are few and far between. Stranded at home is my excuse to turn to my fridge/pantry for inspiration. Continue reading »
