Easy Fall Party Theme When people think of fall they almost always jump straight to pumpkin. Not me. When I think of fall, I think of apples and then eventually get around to pumpkin. And pumpkin crunch cake, but that’s a whole different discussion. So I thought it would be fun to throw a party to celebrate fall with apples! And now it’s one of my favorite fall party ideas!...

One of the most popular themes each year is a game day party, and one of my all-time favorite game day party foods is buffalo chicken dip. It’s a party staple at our house. But for parties, this buffalo chicken dip recipe has one main problem – when it cools down, it’s kind of hard to dip. Reheating it is easy but still. I still make it all the time, but I like to make other things with buffalo chicken dip flavors as well!...

My husband is a caprese salad junkie, if that’s a thing. Any time there’s a caprese salad (or an insalata caprese as it’s actually called) on a menu, he orders it. There’s just something about the combination of the flavors that he loves. He’s not the only one. There’s a reason this combination is such a popular choice during summer months where you can find fresh grape tomatoes and basil growing like crazy....

Let me just start by saying that I don’t like spiders, like at all. And I like walking through spiderwebs even less. But I do like spider treats like these spider cookies and today’s pretzel spider webs! And the spider web cookies at Disneyland were one of my favorite Disneyland Halloween food items! It’s probably because I’m a boy mom and we end up playing in a lot of dirt and hanging out with a lot of spiders, not on purpose but it just happens when you’re chasing boys around....

While this post is sponsored by Perdue Farms, all opinions are 100% honest and my own. With the biggest game of the year just around the corner, all I can think about are appetizers. Dips, finger-foods, you name it – and I want it! For past years, I’ve made buffalo chicken dip, queso fundido, spinach artichoke dip, and cheddar pigs in the blanket. But this year I wanted to do something a little different....

When I go on a beach vacation, there are two drinks you’ll find regularly in my hand – a non-alcoholic pina colada or a virgin strawberry daquiri. I haven’t been able to get back to Beaches Turks & Caicos to have one of my favorite non alcoholic pina coladas lately, so I decided it was time to make a recipe to enjoy at home. This simple pina colada recipe only uses four ingredients, and they’re all ones that are easily findable at any local grocery store (or even already in your home)....

In addition to the lot # 300511, the recalled mushrooms have the UPC 6 953150 100684. The product is contained in a vacuum-sealed plastic package with the phrase “Product of China” written on the label. The mushrooms were initially distributed directly in Chicago, Ill. last month, but have since been further distributed to retail stores across the country. The potential Listeria contamination was discovered after routine testing conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a 200-gram package of enoki mushrooms....

And while it may not sound as exciting, glycerin is even more beneficial than other popular hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, explains Azadeh Shirazi, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of AziMD Skincare. Learn all about the benefits of glycerin, and how to use it....

What does gochujang taste like? So, what does gochujang taste like? To compare it with two popular sauces that almost always comes up in the same breath, gochujang is like the love child of sriracha and miso—spicy like the former, pungent like the latter—with a hint of sweetness. You could probably guess this from the color and flavor, but chilies (specifically, a type of dried chile powder called gochugaru) are one of the main ingredients, along with salt, glutinous rice (aka sticky rice), and fermented soybeans....
