Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Pinwheels

April 22, 2015 By Erin Skinner 3 Comments

Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Pinwheels | Looking for a party app that feeds a crowd and is delicious? These Pesto and Tomato Pinwheels, stuffed with pesto (homemade or store-bought!), sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese, are the perfect starter! @speckledpalate fo

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.

I am so excited to introduce to you a new fantastic product: Mezzetta Everything Spread! These spreads are awesome and I wanted to try them all, and I will. I had some unexpected guests let us know that they would be in the neighborhood and wanted to stop by. I needed to serve them a little something, but I also wanted it to be unique, and delicious of course.

I didn’t have much time, but I knew that I could whip up an recipe that everyone would love!

Easy Strawberry Tartlets

Easy Strawberry Tartlets

I’m yearning for spring after a winter storm reached its icy fingers down south and left a 3° windchill in it’s path.  Brr.

I decided to give spring a nudge by whipping up my easy strawberry tartlets.  Cream cheese, a touch of honey, brown sugar and strawberries come together to form an elegant dessert that sits inside a crisp wonton cup. It’s the perfect bite!  And it’s the ideal dessert for spring.

When I’m planning a party, I always try to include foods that are individually portion sized, easy to eat and doesn’t require a lot of fuss.  The wonton cups can be made in advance and filled right before your guests arrive.  The filling can also be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

January 28, 2015 By Madison Wetherill 3 Comments

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!
