Asiago Cheese Ball

We were invited to a Halloween party and asked to bring a finger food to share.  Normally I would go the sweet route but this time I decided to make a savory snack.  I created this cheese ball out of a memory of one I sampled a year or so ago.  The recipe is simple but was a big hit with the adults at the party!













Asiago Cheese Ball

 2 (8 oz)  packages cream cheese, softened to room temp.
1 wedge Asiago Cheese (approx. 5 oz), finely grated
3 triangles Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.  Scoop cheese onto plastic wrap or aluminum foil.  Shape into desired width and wrap.  Leave in the fridge overnight.  Unwrap and roll in nuts if desired.  To make a pumpkin, use a butter knife to make grooves and smooth the edges.  Top with a broccoli stalk.  Serve with crackers of your choice.  Enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
