5 Minute Chocolate Pecan Footballs

February 1, 2016 By Stephanie Powers Leave a Comment

Hey y’all! Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers here again today. As some of you know, I live in Denver, Colorado which is the home of the Denver Broncos Football Team. After a crazy season of our primary quarterback being out of play for 7 games, we rallied to win the AFC championship and are headed to the “Big Game” next week!! I think we will have our work cut out for us against Carolina, but hopefully the Broncos will come away from that game having played our best and winning the title. (Sorry if you’re a Carolina fan!)

Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Pinwheels

It’s been a while, but I absolutely love hosting a good party.

Whether it’s a dinner party, a sports-related party or a get-together with friends, I love them all. I love opening up my home to entertain, and I love spending time with people I care about and making fun food to go along with whatever event we’re celebrating.

However, I’m not the best when it comes to making party-friendly appetizers and finger foods.

Main dishes? I’ve got those in the bag.

Dessert? I could probably bake something up in my sleep.

But starters? Umm…

I generally either forget about apps until the hour before my guests arrive and then frantically have to throw something together or tap a friend to bring a starter because that’s not really my forte.

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

I love party food. I’m all for crafting a meal, too, but I really enjoy making anything mini. So when we had a little get together for my husband’s birthday, I knew I wanted to make something mini. My goal for this year is to challenge myself with cooking. It started with making raspberry soufflés and now I can say I have also made mini cheesecakes, without having to use a springform pan!
