Fried Pickle Dip
Because my family is into anything to do with pickles... I made this Fried Pickle Dip, which is a creamy, tangy, and savory dip made with dill pickles, cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. It is a popular appetizer or snack, and is often served with potato chips, pretzels, or vegetables.
Spanakopita Spring Rolls
Spanakopita spring rolls are a delicious and crispy snack or appetizer that combines the flavors of traditional spanakopita (a Greek spinach pie) with the convenience of spring rolls. They are made with a filling of spinach, feta cheese, and dill, then wrapped in a spring roll wrapper, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and baked until golden brown. Serve with a lemony garlic yogurt dip.

Ricotta and Roasted Grape Crostini
This Ricotta and Roasted Grape Crostini is an easy, elegant appetizer. By roasting the grapes that are doused in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it concentrates and intensifies the flavor. It's a great appetizer when paired with wine.

Chili Crisp Baked Feta
This Chili Crisp Baked Feta is really good. It's a little bit spicy, salty, and delicious! Once out of the oven, it gets a drizzle of hot honey. If you've never had hot honey then you are missing out. I love it on pepperoni pizza.
Rosemary-Sizzled Salami, Dates, and Pecans
My daughter Zoe made Rosemary-Sizzled Salami, Dates, and Pecans from Bon Appétit for a party. It's a warm mix of nuts and salami which is perfect to add to a charcuterie plate. The salami gets slightly crispy and sweet dates chewy and pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the salami.

Suspend your disbelief and get out your slow cooker! These Grape Jelly Meatballs use frozen meatballs (I used IKEA meatballs), Concord grape jelly, and chili sauce (or BBQ sauce). It's a southern recipe and is sometimes called hillbilly meatballs. I promise you they are absolutely delicious!
