This recipe is super easy, super delish, and tastes just like a cheeseburger! I don’t like to fry my empanadas, and for years I have been using a cream cheese dough to make mine baked, in the oven, but lately I have been using puffed pastry because I find it can replicate a traditional empanada…

Potato and Cheddar Cheese Pierogi
Growing up, our culture was celebrated proudly by our family. I am Italian, Irish, Polish, and most recently through a DNA testing, I discovered I am French, Albanian, and North African. So growing up food was a big part of celebrating our roots as is with most families. Universally, we all celebrate moments of our…
Italian Ricotta Meatballs
I have found that meatballs are a very personal and potentially, a very touchy subject, in some circles. Mostly by anyone who cooks! Everyone believes that their “ball game” is tight, and theirs are the best. I am no exception to this. I have found that recently I have upped my game, by adding fresh…
Pub Style Pretzel Bites with Irish Beer Cheese Dip
There is nothing better than homemade, buttery pretzels. I mean sure you can open a bag of store-bought pretzels or microwave a frozen one, but this is way better than those options, not to mention much more delish! This is a great party appetizer, and can be made in advance then reheated for easy entertaining. …
Easy Cheesy Beer Bread
Easy Cheesy Beer bread is one of the easiest and tastiest quick breads you can make. It can be the back drop for so many things, from sandwiches, to paninis, appetizers, and just good old bread and buttah! I love serving this as an appetizer, slathered with some Maple and Brown Sugar Bacon Jelly You can’t…

I am always creating spreads for sandwiches and fillings for appetizers. I was looking for a different ways to incorporate bacon and Habanero peppers. When, I first made this with orange marmalade and spicy habanero peppers and it was amazing. This time around I wanted something a bit more subtle and this is what I…
Pistachio Crusted Eggplant Rollatini
Today is my Dad’s birthday he would have been 83. He left this earth almost 7 years ago, but he remains a part of me, and our family forever. Growing up I have such fond memories of him in the kitchen. He loved to cook, breakfasts were a big deal for him to make for…
Artichoke Francaise
This is the perfect date night in appetizer, or a nice side. Made with canned or frozen artichokes this goes together in no time. This will soon be your favorite go to! Sinfully, Susan xoxo Drain a 15 oz. can of artichoke hearts, split in half. Dry with a paper towel, season with Kosher salt…
Beet Carpaccio with Fresh Ricotta and Pistachios
One of my favorite Italian appetizers is beef carpaccio, which is paper thin sliced rare beef tenderloin, usually served with shaved parmesan cheese and hollandaise sauce. I will only order it from trusted places as it served rare and food safety is paramount at all times, but most importantly when serving rare items or raw…
Cheeseburger Stuffed Burritos
This is the ultimate burger experience in my opinion. It’s a mashed up version of two glorious eatables, the cheeseburger and the burrito. I love to keep this simple but truly anything goes. I like making this as a ground beef cheeseburger because I think it is a better taste experience. If you are going…
