Do you love guacamole? If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of it. It’s the perfect appetizer for any party, and it’s always a hit when I make it at home.

Thanks to this easy guacamole recipe, you don’t have to worry about any of that. This recipe is so simple to follow, and it yields delicious guacamole every time. So go ahead and give it a try – your friends and family will thank you!
Guacamole is a savory dip or spread originating in Mexico, typically made from mashed avocado, lime juice, onions, and spices. It is often used as a condiment or side dish.
No, this delicious snack is actually quite easy to make. All you need are some ripe avocados and some salsa.
There are many things you can add to guacamole to give it more flavor or texture. Some common additions include tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, and cheese.
Yes, you can make guacamole ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
Guacamole will last in the refrigerator for up to two days. After that, it will start to brown and won’t be as fresh-tasting. To delay the browning process, add a spritz of either lemon or lime juice on top.
Yes, this is healthy. Avocados are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re also low in calories and bad fats – but loaded with the good fats your body needs.
To keep guacamole from turning brown, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also add a little lime juice or lemon juice to help prevent browning.
I have found that if you have a sliced avocado, you can wet it with water and then place the plastic wrap directly on top of it and store it in the refrigerator. This has worked quite well for us.
I have not tried it with guacamole because the texture isn’t smooth. The idea is that the water creates a layer that keeps air from getting to the avocado – which is what turns it brown. I would imagine if you tried to add a layer of water to the top of a bowl of guacamole, it would dilute and ruin it.
You could try just spraying the top of it with a mist of water and then placing the plastic wrap directly on top. If you give this a try – please let me know how it worked.
Avocados turn brown when they’re exposed to air. This is why it’s important to store this recipe in an airtight container.
The best way to ripen an avocado is to leave it on the counter at room temperature. Once it’s ripe, you can store it in the refrigerator to help prevent browning.
When it comes to recipes like this we like to have a full spread. Here are some of the other recipes we include on our appetizer table.
Yes, you can use frozen avocado for guacamole. Just be sure to thaw it first and mash it well before adding it to the other ingredients.

This is the best and easiest way to make Turkey Gravy. It’s the perfect Thanksgiving, Christmas, or holiday side dish to pair with turkey.
Turkey gravy is a classic Thanksgiving dish that is easy to make and can be tailored to your taste. In this recipe, we will show you how to make a basic turkey gravy using pan drippings and flour.
You can add additional ingredients such as herbs, onions, or mushrooms to give your gravy a personal touch. This recipe is perfect for those who are new to making gravy – it’s simple and straightforward. So let’s get started!
If there’s one thing that can make Thanksgiving dinner even better, it’s gravy. This easy turkey gravy recipe is perfect for making ahead of time, so you can focus on the rest of the meal.
But honestly, you don’t have to wait for the holiday season to make this gravy recipe. I like having gravy on a multitude of recipes throughout the year – so we make this all of the time.
You won’t believe how simple it is to make from scratch. No pre-packaged envelope full of additives and preservatives. This recipe is so much better!
Turkey gravy is a type of sauce made from turkey or chicken stock, butter, flour, and sometimes other ingredients.
Making your gravy in advance is a great way to save time on Thanksgiving Day. Not only will it save you time, but it will also ensure that your gravy is perfectly cooked and flavorful. (keep in mind that it can be difficult to use the drippings for this recipe ahead of time if you are not cooking the turkey until several days later)
There are a few things to keep in mind when making your gravy in advance. First, make sure that all of your ingredients are fresh. This will help to ensure that your gravy is flavorful and tasty.
Second, cook the gravy completely before storing it. This will prevent any bacteria from growing and will also help to keep the flavor intact.
Finally, store the gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
When you are ready to serve the gravy, simply reheat it in a small saucepan or in the microwave until it is hot and bubbly.
A roux is a combination of fat and flour used while cooking to make a thickened sauce or gravy. A classic roux recipe contains equal parts butter to flour (1/4 cup butter to 1/4 cup four).
Since our turkey gravy is a roux gravy, keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools. If it has thickened too much, just add a little more liquid before it hits the table.
Generally, gravy made with pan drippings does not need any more seasonings as all of those pan juices contain all the salt, pepper, and flavor. It’s important to taste-test it once it’s done and save adding any extra seasoning at the end.
If you don’t have the turkey drippings on hand, don’t worry! You can still make delicious gravy without it.
Replace the drippings in the recipe with chicken or turkey stock. You may need to add more seasonings at the end since the stock doesn’t have all of the flavors that the drippings would add to the finished gravy recipe.
If you want to make a gluten-free gravy, you can substitute the flour for gluten-free flour. This will change the texture of the gravy, but it will still be delicious.
If you want to make a dairy-free gravy, you can substitute the butter with lard or bacon grease. This will change the flavor of the gravy, but it will still be delicious.
There are a few things you can do to thicken your gravy. If it is too thick, add broth a tablespoon or two at a time. If it is too thin, mix one tablespoon of melted butter with one tablespoon of flour and whisk into the gravy. Now, if it is lumpy, use your strainer!
In my opinion, gravy goes with just about anything. However – you don’t want to miss the other holiday side dishes linked further down in this post. But if you want the VERY BEST turkey and main dish holiday recipes – be sure to check these out too!
If you have any turkey gravy left over after your feast, it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Simply place it in a covered container or jar and pop it in the fridge. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat it gently over low heat while whisking occasionally to prevent the sauce from breaking.
You can also freeze your turkey gravy for up to three months. Again, place it in a covered container or jar and then into the freezer. When you’re ready to use it, thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat gently as mentioned above.
Yes, that should work. You might end up with a slightly different texture. Also, you may end up needing to add more liquid or more cornstarch to reach the right consistency.

A good Pear Butter Recipe is a must for fall, and is just perfect for your morning toast! This recipe is simple to make – just toss it all in the slow cooker! Not only is it delicious, but it makes the house smell incredible while it cooks!
If you’re looking for an easy, delicious way to use up pears, give this pear butter recipe a try! Making your own pear butter is easier than you might think!
This recipe only requires a few simple ingredients, and it’s perfect for Fall. You can make it using a slow cooker or on the stovetop – and it’s perfect for spreading on toast or serving with pancakes. Plus, it makes a great gift idea for the holidays!
If you’re like me, you love finding creative ways to use up leftover fruit. And if you’re also like me, you always seem to have an abundance of pears on hand.
So today I’m excited to share my recipe for homemade pear butter! It’s easy to make and the perfect spread for toast, muffins, or even pancakes. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Pear butter is a type of fruit butter made from pears. It is similar to apple butter but has a more intense flavor due to the higher sugar content of pears.
Pear butter can be made by cooking down pears with sugar and spices until it forms a thick, spreadable paste.
Making pear butter is a great way to use up excess pears, and it makes for a delicious spread on toast or muffins. This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients and can be easily adapted to your own taste.
So if you’re looking for something new to do with those extra pears, give pear butter a try!
This recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 6 months. To store, place the pear butter in a clean, airtight container and keep it in the fridge.
To freeze, place the pear butter in a freezer-safe container and label it with the date.
When choosing pears for your Star Spiced Pear Butter recipe, you want to make sure that you select pears that are ripe but not overripe. The best way to tell if a pear is ripe is to gently press on the fruit with your thumb.
If the pear yields to the pressure, it is ripe and ready to use. If the pear feels hard or unyielding, it is not yet ripe and should be left to ripen further.
Once you have selected your pears, you will need to peel and core them. The easiest way to do this is to cut the pears in half lengthwise and then use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds and core.
Once your pears are peeled and cored, they are ready to be used in your Pear Butter recipe.
You don’t need to peel the pears for this recipe.
If you have made too much pear butter or simply want to save some for later, freezing it is a great option! Pear butter can last in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To freeze, simply place the pear butter in an airtight container or freezer bag. Make sure to leave some headspace in the container so that the pear butter has room to expand as it freezes.
When you are ready to use the frozen pear butter, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, stir well before using. The texture of the pear butter may change slightly after freezing and thawing, but it will still be delicious!
Once it has been cooked, ladle it into clean, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, then screw on the lids and rings.
Place the jars in your pressure canner, making sure that they are covered by at least an inch of water. Process at 10 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes for half-pint or pint jars, or 15 minutes for quart jars. Let the pressure come down naturally before opening the canner and removing the jars.
Let the jars cool undisturbed for 12 hours before checking the seals and storing in a cool, dark place.
Pour the pear butter into jars and seal them with lids. Place the jars in a water bath canner and process them for 10 minutes.
Pear butter is a type of fruit spread or preserve made from cooked pears. It is similar to apple butter in taste and texture, although it may be slightly thinner in consistency. Pear butter is often spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Most pear butter recipes are vegan, as they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. However, some brands may add honey or other sweeteners that are not vegan-friendly. Be sure to check the ingredients list before purchasing pear butter to make sure it meets your dietary needs.
Pear butter is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. Here are some ideas on how to use pear butter in your cooking:

Bolognese is a popular recipe for Italian meat sauce basically. The dish is made with onions, garlic, tomatoes, celery, carrots, beef stock, wine, black pepper flakes (or crushed red pepper), and ground meat. The ingredients are simmered together until the meat is cooked through.
The key to a great Bolognese is using high-quality ingredients that have been cooked slowly and carefully. You also need to season it to taste, which allows you to customize the flavor profile depending on your preferences.
Some other tips for making the perfect Bolognese include adding reducing or eliminating garlic if you’re sensitive to its odor or flavor, and simmering until thickened before serving. Whichever adaptation you choose, be sure not to overcook it or it will turn into a watery sauce instead of a savory one.
You can store leftover Bolognese in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze it for up to two months.
Yes – this recipe freezes well. Just make sure to place it in a freezer-safe container, label it with the date and store it for up to 2 months. When you are ready to serve it again, you can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
This recipe requires that you cook the sauce until it reaches a deep red color and has a subtle tang to it. This means that the sauce has cooked all the way through and is ready to serve.
You can serve Bolognese with a variety of dishes. Some popular choices include pasta, rice, potatoes, and even pizza.
Different people have different preferences for the type of sauce they prefer in their bolognese dish.
Some people prefer a more traditional bolognese with beef stock and onions; others may enjoy a lighter version with less meat and more vegetables. There are also variations that use different types of pasta such as spaghetti or tagliatelle.
The history of Bolognese can be traced back to the 16th century in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. At this time, there were two main styles of cooking – Northern Italian cuisine which was heavy on meat sauces, and Southern Italian cuisine which focused on vegetables and fish.
Bolognese evolved out of an improvisational dish known as bollito misto (mixed boiled beef). This dish contained various types of meat that had been boiled in water with some aromatics such as onion, garlic, carrots, celery seed etc. until they became soft. The mixture would then be served over pasta or rice.
Over time the recipe changed slightly to include ground beef instead of mincemeat and tomato paste replaced some of the watery ingredients. As this dish became popular throughout Italy it eventually acquired its own name – bollito misto or simply a bolognese sauce.
In modern times Bolognese can be made with a variety of meats, vegetables, and spices to create a sauce that is unique to each region.
Spaghetti is a popular choice for dinner when it comes to bolognese because it absorbs the flavors of the sauce very well. Macaroni and cheese is another great option because it has a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the beefy flavor of the sauce.
Angel hair pasta also tastes great with bolognese because its thin strands soak up all the delicious flavors in the dish.
Our easy Bolognese recipe works because it is made with simple ingredients and has a long (but not too long) cooking time. This combination results in a delicious and luxurious dish that will please even the most discerning of eaters.
The slower cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, while the beef helps to create a thick sauce. And since this recipe calls for only basic ingredient staples, you can easily make it any time you have some extra time on your hands.
So why not give our easy Bolognese recipe a try? You won’t be disappointed!

View postKeto Marinara Sauce can be used as a substitute for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or just eaten straight from the jar! Perfect for those looking for a sugar-free, low-carb alternative. You can add ground beef (or sausage), vegetables, and cheese.
Do you love marinara sauce but are trying to stick to a keto diet? Or are you diabetic and looking for a sugar-free option? Look no further than this keto marinara sauce recipe.
It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for any dinner dish or pizza craving. Give it a try today!
Like many out there, when we started our Keto journey we found that nearly EVERYTHING has sugar added to it. It became very apparent to us that we would have to make our own alternatives if we wanted to eat “normally”.
One thing we wanted to make was chicken parmesan – keto-style. But we couldn’t just use the sauce from the store without packing on the carbs. That’s where this sauce comes in.
We ditched the breading and just added this sauce to the top of a grilled chicken breast along with some cheese to keep it low carb.
With only 2 carbs for a 1/4 cup serving, we used only 1-2 tbsp per chicken breast, making the carbs for the sauce negligible. That’s a win for me and we didn’t have to feel like we were dieting either.

When trying to stick to a Keto, sugar-free, or low-carb diet there are a lot of things to keep in mind. What I noticed when trying to buy products to replace our sugar-filled versions is that there are what seems like a billion different names for sugar and sugar substitutes.
When reading labels you need to know all the secret little ways that sugar can be added to what you are buying. Generally, you want to avoid ingredients that will spike your blood sugar – which is why it can be so much easier to just make your own so you know exactly what is being added.
This sauce is best kept refrigerated until you plan on using it. I like to put it in a jar with a tight lid and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If you aren’t going to use it all right away – you can portion out some of it and freeze it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to a couple of months. Thaw it by placing the container in a bowl of warm water for about an hour. Then reheat as needed on the stovetop.
While the possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can use this sauce with, here are some of our favorite recipes to use this sauce. These are all standard recipes, but can easily be adapted to a keto version.
There are a few benefits to using a sugar-free or low-carb marinara sauce. One benefit is that it can help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Another benefit is that it can help you stay in ketosis.
Yes, you can make this in the Instant Pot. Just saute in the pot as you would with this recipe on the stovetop. Then add the other ingredients and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release the pressure when done and use as needed.
The brand doesn’t really matter as long as it doesn’t have any added sugar. The can should only contain crushed tomatoes and possibly a little oil or salt. Tomatoes naturally have their own sugar and that is all you need – nothing else added or it defeats the point of making your own sauce.
As with everything on a keto diet – moderation is key here. As I mentioned before, tomatoes naturally contain sugar – so you don’t want to drown your food in the sauce, drink the sauce, or generally overdo your portions.
But if you are on keto – then you are probably used to moderating the food choices you make anyway.
As I mentioned above, this recipe contains 2 net carbs for a 1/4 cup serving. So if you are only having 1-2 tablespoons at a time, that is only half to 1 carb since there are 4 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup.
This Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made homemade marinara before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this sauce recipe. (you can also SHOP MY FAVORITES in my store)

View postJalapeno Artichoke Dip is a perfect appetizer, party dish, or just a tasty dip that’s oh-so addicting! Serve with your favorite crunchy snack!
Do you love appetizers? Do you love easy snacks? Then this Jalapeno Artichoke Dip is for you!
It’s simple to make and can be eaten with chips, baguettes, or even straight out of the bowl. So grab your favorite dip dish and let’s get started!
This dip is a super easy appetizer to whip up for your next party. We can’t get enough of this Jalapeno Artichoke Dip!
All you need is a few simple ingredients and about 20 minutes of cooking time. Plus, this dip is seriously delicious – perfect for satisfying those appetizer cravings. I know you’ll love it and all your friends will too!
Yes. Canned artichokes are what we are using here as they are more cost-effective and are more readily available. You can use regularly cooked artichokes, but you may prefer to use fresh artichokes as the baking process could make the canned variety too soft and mushy if you overdo it.
Absolutely! If you would prefer to mix up the flavors for this recipe, you can swap the parmesan with another hard cheese like cheddar or asiago. These cheeses bring a distinct sharp, sweet flavor that pairs nicely with the sweetness of the cream cheese and the spiciness of the jalapenos.
Provided that you did not leave it at room temperature after cooking or during serving for more than an hour, you can store your Jalapeno Artichoke Dip in the refrigerator for up to two days before you should make another batch.
It is important to know that the refrigerator does not stop the growth of microbes in your food, but slows their reproduction. This means that if you leave your food at room temperature for too long, you will be starting with more bacteria when you put it in the refrigerator, providing more organisms that can replicate once they are allowed to sit in your food.
Yes. This dish can be prepared and then frozen to be used at a later time. Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese to prevent separation during the thawing process. Also, I find it especially useful to use a disposable aluminum pan when creating this dish for meal prep. This makes it easy to place in the oven to thaw and reduces the amount of clean-up time.
The heat that is characteristic of peppers is caused by a waxy chemical called capsaicin. When preparing jalapenos for cooking, most of the capsaicin is found in the seeds of the pepper.
If you would prefer to add more spice to your dish, be sure to include more of the seeds when adding your peppers. Know that removing all of the seeds from the peppers does not necessarily remove all of the spicinesses but it will moderate it.
Note that this dish contains four types of cheese mixed with the peppers and the artichokes. Cooking your dip allows the cheeses to melt and blend together and adopt the flavor of the peppers and the artichokes throughout. It will also allow fresh jalapenos and artichokes to soften, allowing for a smoother consistency when enjoying this dish.
One of my favorite parts about baking this dish is the golden-brown crust that forms on top. In my opinion, this is the most flavorful part of the dish as it includes toasted cheese and adds a slight crunch.
Black Bean Jalapeno Pepper Queso
You sure can! Adding spices like salt, pepper, and garlic powder are matters of personal preference. This recipe may be especially delicious when adding a spoonful of minced garlic and dried onions to the mix before baking.
This recipe is versatile enough to be for any occasion. If you are looking to impress your friends for game day, serve your Jalapeno Artichoke Dip with Air Fryer Ham and Cheese Sliders or Mini Bacon Onion Ranch Cheese Balls.
If you are hoping to do something more formal, this dish would pair nicely with my famous One Hour Dinner Rolls or my Filet Mignon to bring a more upscale feeling to the table.
Though this recipe is keto being that it is both a low-carb dish and lacks starches and hydrogenated oils. Beware as you modify this recipe to suit your liking as it may change how keto-friendly it is.

View postThe Cheese Log is a versatile and delicious appetizer that can be served on its own, or with crackers, bread, or fresh fruit. Serve it at your next party for an easy recipe that’s sure to please!
We love appetizers in this house. More often than not you will find us putting out a charcuterie board or an appetizer spread instead of a regular meal or even a holiday feast.
Recipes like this cheese log are so easy to make and we can change up the flavors to whatever we happen to be craving at the time. I know you’ll love this as much as we do. Check it out!
I think it all started when the hubs was still part of the FD. Holidays and parties were never set in stone because he could be called out at a moment’s notice. So we couldn’t plan for anything that required a big time commitment or that could be ruined easily.
But I have to say – I kinda love it because not only is it simple and easy – but it is adaptable to whatever we have going on. This cheese log is perfect to add to the snacks because we can have a little or a lot and then the rest we can save for another time.
Serve immediately, or place any remaining cheese log in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Before refrigerating, label the dish with the date. This recipe will keep for an average of 3 days when stored correctly in an airtight container.
Yes – if you want to try making this with goat cheese or adding a bit of parmesan cheese – that would be delicious as well.
You bet! You can make this cheese log using other seasonings, roll it with different nuts & dried fruits instead of bacon. The sky is the limit with this.
This cheese log goes great with everything. But here are a few of our favorite snacks to put out alongside this tasty snack.
While I highly recommend the nuts for flavor and texture – if you have an allergy or flavor aversion that keeps you from using them, there are plenty of other options out there for you. Try rolling it in panko that has been toasted in butter, crushed pretzels, sesame seeds, crushed crackers, crushed potato chips, pepitas, or fried onions. There are so many options with this cheese log.
This cheese log is great to make the night before or the morning ahead of when you will be serving it. Just keep refrigerated & then add any additional garnish before putting it out to serve. We sometimes like to serve it with pepper jelly or a drizzle of honey.
This will really depend on the portions each person is taking. If it’s me – then I could eat half the log before I walk away – because it’s just that good. But in reality, if people are just taking a swipe on a cracker or two then this should be good for 10-16 people.
Absolutely! We often double this recipe if we are taking these to a potluck or having friends over for a party. The cheese logs are a hit, so if you have more than a couple of people over, make sure to make a lot. You can even put out several in different flavors!
This cheese log recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made a tasty cheese appetizer like this before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it.

This baked hot artichoke spinach dip is easy to make in about 30 minutes. It’s so cheesy and perfect for holiday and game day entertaining.
I’m all about the appetizers and snacks – no matter the time of year. I just can’t get enough! I would much rather snack and graze than sit down for a full meal. It’s so much easier if you ask me.
So, this artichoke spinach dip is one of my favorite dips to serve at holiday parties or any time of year. It’s so easy to make.
With just 5 minutes of prep before popping it in the oven, it makes it perfect for any type of gathering. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies.
I have made plenty of hot-dip recipes in my time. I even have a Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip that we make for game day or race day quite frequently.
But we found a new favorite steak house here close to home and they have literally the best hot spinach dip I have ever had. So – as I usually do, I set out to break the recipe so we could have it all the time here at home.
This recipe is pretty darn close – which makes it positively irresistible. I know you’ll love it!
Yes, absolutely, fresh spinach will work just fine. Just be sure to wash it & wring out any excess moisture before proceeding with the preparation.
If you are looking for something to serve with this cheesy hot dip, you can try one of these.
Here are some of the best food options for serving with Hot Artichoke Spinach dip :
Since this is a dip and most people just sort of graze when it comes to appetizers like this – you should be able to serve this to a party for 8-10 people. That is assuming this isn’t the only thing on the menu. If that is the case, I can tell you that our family of adult appetites can finish this off by the time game day is over.
I love this recipe because of its versatility and how many different ways we can change it up. Try mixing in diced green chilies, jalapenos, hot sauce, rotisserie chicken, ground or smoked sausage, chili powder, paprika, diced bell or sweet peppers and so much more.
Yes, I do it often. I usually mix all of the ingredients, transfer them to the baking dish, and then refrigerate until closer to game time. Then I pop it in the oven when we are just about ready to serve everything else. This way it comes out hot and ready to enjoy immediately.
Because of the dairy in the recipe, I don’t recommend freezing this dip. It can be made 1-2 days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use. Then just reheat in the microwave when you want to serve again.
You can, and we do it often. But be sure to distribute the mixture between 2 baking dishes instead of trying to get it all into one small one or into one larger one. That will change the baking time too much.
Yes – this recipe is great when you use other types of cheese. Try using pepper jack, Colby-Jack, American, or even smoked gouda.
You bet! If you want to lighten up the recipe – you can swap out the mayo with plain Greek yogurt. You can also use low-fat cream cheese – just keep in mind that the less fat you have in the recipe, the less creamy it will be. The fat is a large component of the texture of the end product.
Take any leftovers and transfer it to an airtight container or cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil. Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy again.

Creamy warm Pretzel Cheese Dip is a delicious holiday appetizer you need to try! Made with simple ingredients and ready in just 10 minutes.
We love appetizers in this house. So much so that we often serve appetizers in place of a weeknight meal or even a holiday spread.
So it is no surprise that recipes like this Pretzel Cheese Dip make a frequent appearance around here. Similar to a beer cheese dip, only this one is loaded with some of our favorite ingredients – bacon and garlic. It’s so so delicious – we can’t get enough and I know you will feel the same!
What I love about this is that you can also add your favorite seasonings or hot sauce if you want to spice it up! Which the zesty lovers in the house will often do.
That’s what is so great about this recipe – it can be easily adapted for so many different preferences. We like to make several batches and put out a spread for game days or holidays.
If you want to toast up some soft pretzels or another flavored pretzel recipe to go with this cheese dip, there are some links for those recipes later in this post.
Because this cheese sauce is more like a roux, it comes together quickly. I don’t recommend MAKING it in the slow cooker.
However, you can transfer the dip to the slow cooker and keep it on the warm setting so it remains the perfect dipping temperature while it is being served and enjoyed.
Be sure to give it a stir every 30-60 minutes to make sure it doesn’t burn, especially if your slow cooker tends to run on the hotter side.
After serving, place leftover dip in a shallow airtight container. Be sure to label with the date before refrigerating. This recipe should keep for up to 3 days.
As with most things, it is important to get food into the refrigerator within 1 hour after serving to prevent bacteria growth.
This will depend greatly on portion sizes & the appetites of your crowd. We were able to easily have 6 people snacking on this dip for an afternoon without running out.
We like to add this cheese dip to other recipes – like tacos or on top of a savory omelet, so any leftovers will go quickly.
Yes, absolutely! If you have a larger skillet, you can definitely double this recipe.
You can make this recipe with ground beef or ground sausage or leave out the meat altogether if you don’t have bacon. I also like to toss in leftover rotisserie chicken or pulled pork if that is what I have on hand at the time.
The best part about this cheese dip is that it is so easily adaptable for whatever you are craving. Here are some ideas for how to change this up so you can have a cheese dip party with a multitude of flavor varieties.
This can be caused by overcooking. If this happens, you can just add a splash of milk and stir it in while heating on low until it thins out again.

View postRich, creamy, and zippy Everything Bagel Dip is the ultimate appetizer and gameday snack. Serve it with chips, pita bread, or pretzels, and more.
Recipes that we consider gameday food is always a nice addition to the party. And if you want to spend less time in the kitchen, and save money there are plenty of easy recipes like this dip and other finger food to serve.
We like to keep it quick and simple so we can have more time enjoying the party and less time on things like prep and clean up afterward. This is why we love dips like this everything bagel dip which is crazy popular!
Pairing dips with chips is a classic combination, but you can also serve them as side dishes for sandwiches or make them as toppings for tacos and burritos.
I can tell you – this dip is great on just about EVERYTHING and with everything too. We are all about the snacks in our house and will often put out a “party” spread in place of dinner at least once a week.
One recipe that is always requested is this super simple dip using everything bagel seasoning. Everyone loves it and we use it for a multitude of things.
Everything bagel seasoning contains sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. It has become quite popular originally as a bagel seasoning and then Trader Joe’s decided to sell it as a stand-alone product which went crazy. People love it.
With this dip – it’s no secret that cream cheese, bagels, and green onions are the perfect mix. The list of ingredients varies, but you can find everything but bagel seasoning in stuff like this.
I love this recipe because of its versatility and how many different ways we can change it up. Try mixing in diced green chilies, jalapenos, hot sauce, chicken, ground or smoked sausage, chili powder, paprika, diced bell or sweet peppers and so much more.
Because of the dairy in the recipe, I don’t recommend freezing this dip. It can be made 1-2 days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
Most dairy-based dips can stay fresh for up to 7-10 days if kept properly refrigerated.
I like to use this dip within 1-2 days because it is sitting out for at least 30 minutes at a time when serving. This makes it difficult to know if it is maintaining the proper temperature needed for keeping it beyond 1-2 days.
If you are looking for something to serve with everything bagel dip, you can try one of these.
Here are some of the best food options for serving with everything bagel dip:
You bet! If you want to lighten up the recipe – you can swap out the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. You can also use low-fat cream cheese – just keep in mind that the less fat you have in the recipe, the less creamy it will be. The fat is a large component of the texture of the end product.
Yes, you can make a hot bagel dip. This is especially easy in the slow cooker. Just toss all of the ingredients (except the green onions) in the slow cooker and cook on low for 1-2 hours – making sure to stir frequently until hot and bubbly.
This is a really easy recipe to make and once you have it on hand – you can add it to more than just this dip. To make your own seasoning – just mix the following ingredients together in a small bowl and then store in a small airtight container.
You bet! That’s the best part – the cream cheese, and sour cream, are keto compliant when you pair this dip with healthy options like veggies instead of baked snacks.
The flavor will intensify as the dip sits – so don’t over-season. Wait to add more seasonings until after this has sat for at least several hours and you have taste-tested it again.
Yes. This recipe can easily be made by hand. However, keep in mind that this method will influence the overall time commitment.
While you can make it with just a sturdy spoon and a large mixing bowl – the dip will be creamier if you can use a hand mixer in the event you don’t have a stand mixer.

Learn how to make Instant Pot Applesauce, a simple and easy fall recipe that can be made with just a 30 minute cook time. It takes just 2 ingredients and it’s sugar-free!
We are in apple overload here. We have about 5-6 apple trees on the property that are currently producing an abundance of apples. I’m literally swimming in apples and making a ton of recipes.
That means my Instant Pots are getting a workout and they have been going non-stop making recipes like this applesauce. It’s super simple and delicious!
What I love about this recipe is that it’s sugar-free and takes only 2 ingredients. Sure you can add other things like sugar or cinnamon, but the base is simple.
I like to keep this stocked in little 1 cup containers in my freezer. Then whenever I have a recipe that calls for applesauce, I just thaw what I need for that day. It’s great because otherwise, I wouldn’t keep applesauce on hand.
I am currently using an 8-quart pot, but this recipe can be made in the 6-quart pot too. If you have one of the smaller versions (3-quart mini), I recommend cutting this recipe in half.
You might have noticed that your apple sauce turned brown. This is the result of an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase (PPO) which causes the natural browning reaction to happen when apples are cut or bruised.
The PPO reacts with oxygen in the air and creates a chemical called quinones which react with the sugars in apple to create dark pigments, giving it its characteristic dark color. When you remove oxygen from the air, this reaction does not take place and so your applesauce doesn’t turn brown.
To prevent this from happening you can add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to slow the browning of the apples and the applesauce. Interestingly – I find that our homegrown, organic apples tend to turn brown MUCH faster than the ones I buy at the store.
Often, an Instant Pot recipe would call for you to release all the pressure at the end of the timed pressure cycle. However, the cooking process stops when the pressure is released.
For recipes that call for a natural pressure release, you would refrain from releasing the pressure from the unit for a set amount of time. This allows for a little extra cooking time as the pressure inside naturally goes down.
At the end of the natural pressure release cycle, you would then use the valve to release the remaining pressure and stop the cooking process.
Applesauce is a tasty, healthy, and versatile type of fruit sauce. Here are some great ideas for ways to use applesauce.
1) As a condiment: Add it to your sandwiches, wraps, burgers or any other dish you feel needs a little extra flavor!
2) As an ingredient in your coffee cake batter: Add some cinnamon sugar to the dough for an added kick! It also works as an egg or sugar replacement in a lot of recipes.
3) As a dessert topping: Sprinkle it over ice cream, cakes, or pies for the perfect finishing touch!
Yes – you can make this applesauce in the slow cooker. To do so – prepare the apples as you would in steps 1 & 2. Then place them in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours – making sure to stir 1-2 times throughout the cooking process. Then mash or blend once done. Super easy!
**Note – if you are using a homemade apple juice that may be thicker than what you find in the store – add 1/2 cup of water before cooking.
**No need to remove the skins – unless desired. I leave mine on because I make creamy applesauce. If you like a chunky sauce – you’ll probably want to remove the skins.
You can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of one egg in many baking recipes. I have seen some recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder when doing this.
Applesauce is also a healthier replacement for oil in many baked recipes – you can substitute at a 1:1 ratio.
Well- we didn’t pick the types of trees that were planted on our property. That was decided by the first owners and we are the lucky recipients. So I have no idea what types we have here. I’m just using what I have and it’s working just fine.
However – since I’m sure most of you will be buying your apples at the store – here are some suggestions.
When you are making applesauce, there are different kinds of apples that work best. Some apples have a higher water content, so they don’t make for a good sauce. Some are too sweet, which can also make for a watery sauce.
When picking an apple to make into applesauce, you want to focus on ones that are less juicy or tart in flavor. This will result in a nice thick sauce that doesn’t have any excess liquid in it. The best type of apple for this is usually the Red Delicious variety, though Golden Delicious will work as well.

In fact, it’s so unstable that every time you take a bite, whipped cream goes everywhere. So what can you do to prevent this from happening? Try making stabilized whipped cream!
It’s simple to make and will keep your whipped cream looking great for days. Plus, it tastes delicious too! Give it a try today!
Do you love whipped cream but hate the way it always melts and becomes a mess? How about the stuff in the tub that is loaded with oils and preservatives? No thank you.
Well, have I got a solution for you! This stabilized whipped cream recipe is so much better than the store-bought stuff. It stays whipped for days, no matter how hot it gets. So go ahead and top your next dessert with some of this deliciousness – you won’t be disappointed.
There are a few reasons to use stabilized whipped cream instead of regular whipped cream. First, it will hold its shape for longer, making it ideal for decorating cakes or cupcakes.
It also has a more consistent texture, so it’s perfect for piping. Finally, stabilized whipped cream is less likely to deflate or “weep” (release liquid), so your desserts will look beautiful for longer.
A lot of people like to use this in place of the stuff in the tub from the store because it doesn’t contain the added oils and preservatives.
I personally like it because I can control the carb count by adding my favorite artificial sweetener (see link below) instead of the “sugar-free” versions available at the store which contain sweeteners that will still spike your blood sugar.
This homemade whipped topping will last for up to 3 days. You might be able to get a little longer out of it depending on how long you keep it chilled. Obviously, the longer it is refrigerated, the longer it will last.
If you have it outside, at room temperature or outdoor temperature – you can expect it to last a few hours to maybe a day depending on the conditions.
The process of stabilizing whipped cream doesn’t alter the flavor, so it will taste the same as regular whipped cream.
Yes, you can frost a cake with whipped cream! If you’re using stabilized whipped cream, it will hold its shape nicely and won’t melt as quickly as regular whipped cream. Keep in mind that whipped cream is a lighter frosting, so it might not be as sturdy as some other options (like buttercream).
When you’re ready to frost your cake, simply spread or pipe the whipped cream on top. If you want to get really fancy, you can decorate it with some fresh fruit or chocolate shavings.
Yes, this recipe can be made in advance. Simply store the stabilized whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to use it, give it a good stir (it may have deflated slightly) and re-whip if needed it until it’s fluffy again.
You can make this recipe using gelatin instead of cream cheese. To do so –
Make sure the whipping cream is COLD – not frozen, but very cold. It will not whip to stiff peaks unless it is cold.
Chilling the bowl that you will be whipping the cream in can help to make sure it reaches the desired consistency. I like to clear out a space in the freezer for the bowl ahead of time. Then I have that same space available for whatever cake or dessert I’m working on later.
Yes – you can tint this as you would frosting. Be sure to use gel food coloring so it doesn’t dilute the consistency AND add the color during the beginning of the whipping process. This will ensure that the food coloring doesn’t alter the end result.
Yes, that CAN work as long as the ingredients and utensils are very well chilled. If you can chill the bowl over a bowl of ice to keep it super cold while you are beating it- that will work best.
To make keto-friendly/ low-carb – replace the confectioner’s sugar with a confectioner’s sweetener. I like PureCane Confectioner’s Sweetener.
To use instant pudding mix to make stabilized whipped cream you will need
Begin by whipping the cream until it reaches the soft peak stage.
Then add in the vanilla pudding, sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue whipping your cream until you have firm peaks but be sure to not over-mix.
You can use cornstarch as you would vanilla pudding. Just note – it will leave a grittier texture as it doesn’t dissolve quite the same in the mixture.
You will use the same method as with the pudding or corn starch – however, you will only use 1/4 teaspoon instead of the tablespoon portion you would use in the other varieties.
You will use the same method as with the pudding or corn starch – however, you will only use 2 teaspoons of the powdered milk instead of the tablespoon portion you would use in the pudding version.

Well……..I took my favorite homemade caramel sauce & added the one flavor EVERYONE is nuts for this time of year…..PUMPKIN. Yep- my friends, I made Pumpkin Caramel.
View postThis recipe for Cinnamon Honey Butter is sweet and creamy with the perfect amount of cinnamon and even better than the Texas Roadhouse version. Soft and spreadable and ready in 5 minutes! SO GOOD!
Are you ready to kick off this weekend with a bang? I am definitely ready to try to fit in little pockets of time out of the office because I soooooo need it.
We mixed up this Cinnamon Honey Butter because we super love the stuff when we visit Roadhouse. But we found that we love it mixed into a little oatmeal too – it was delicious.
Be sure to try our delicious Apple Butter Bread!
I have mentioned before that my son is absolutely nuts for cinnamon. So when I promised him I would make some of this cinnamon honey butter for him to add to breakfasts & our dinner rolls.
The one special request he gave me was that he wanted it to have a bolder cinnamon flavor than the traditional recipes we see floating around. I can do that – for sure. Just enough, not too much. He was definitely happy with the result & is using it on everything.
If you really like cinnamon- this is the spread for you. It’s just a hint of honey & packed full of that wonderful cinnamon flavor. No need to butter your toast & then top it with a cinnamon/sugar mixture.
This has it all right in there. Added to hot toast right out of the toaster – it melts to a gooey cinnamon glaze. Mmmmmmmm – perfect for my weekend breakfast – that’s for sure.
There are a couple of ways to do this. The first being that you can take the butter (& any other ingredients that need to be at room temperature) out, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes while you prep for baking.
I usually start with all my chilled ingredients and pull everything I need out onto the counter before getting started – so I know for sure I have everything before I’m mid-way through I realize I’m out of something.
But sometimes it’s winter and that isn’t enough time to get the ingredients warmed up – OR – I’m just not that organized to plan ahead. It happens. So I have another couple of tricks.
I place the butter in the microwave – wrapped in the paper. (don’t do this if it is wrapped in foil) Then I microwave for 2 seconds – flip – go another 2 seconds – flip again – and continue for 2 seconds on each side.
This is usually enough to get it perfect – sometimes stopping before if it feels soft enough. Take care when doing this method – overly softened butter from the microwave WILL ALTER the end result of the recipe. Don’t over-do it.
My third method is to place the wrapped butter sticks in a zip-top bag and place it in a bowl of warm water. I do this with the eggs too. If the water isn’t too hot it can be THE PERFECT way to get “room-temperature” ingredients.
This is really a personal preference. If you are happy with just a little salt to cut the sweetness, then use salted butter.
I usually use whatever I have on hand & I really don’t pay too close attention to what butter I have. But I typically keep salted butter on hand & I love that little bit of extra salt with the sweet in this recipe.
These days with groceries being more difficult to find – I basically get whatever the store has available at the time and make it work.
For this butter – if you keep it in the fridge it will last up to 1 month. If you like to leave your butter at room temperature overnight, it will last 1-2 days at most. You can use a butter crock so it stays spreadable and that will extend the life by several more days.

Serving options are abundant with this butter – you can try it with biscuits or dinner rolls, toast, cornbread, sweet potatoes, and more. Here is a small list of the recipes we use it with.
