Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Tuesday Blog Hop for May 7, 2013—the food carnival for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls! With three birthdays in 18 days behind us and Mother’s Day, graduation, Memorial Day, my mom’s birthday, and a friend’s bridal shower just around the corner, you could easily dub [...]
Hearth & Soul Hop at Savoring Today
Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Tuesday Blog Hop for April 30, 2013—the food carnival for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls! Our youngest is graduating in just three weeks so I am easily distracted by party food as we plan her grad party, which is sure to be a ton of [...]

A Bridal Shower Menu Collection and the Privilege of Friendship
When close friend’s kids are old enough to get married, it feels a lot like when your own kid’s birthday candles exceed two hands and then both hands and feet, you wonder where the years went. It is the milestones of life—showers, weddings, births, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and many others, which remind us of the [...]

Prosciutto-Wrapped Caprese Salad
In March, the food world turns its attention to everything green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, but for me the focus is on four weddings in the next two months.

In the meanwhile, to stay true to our theme, here are a few more links I liked for their straightforward ingredients and unique [...]

Hot Artichoke Dip is a Key Player on the Super Bowl Buffet
Skip boring ranch dip, this Hot Artichoke Dip will make your veggie tray disappear in no time. Some party dips make cold broccoli and cauliflower palatable, this artichoke dip with its creamy, tangy, smoky flavors take them from palatable to party favorite. Pita and tortilla chips will fly off the table too when sitting next [...]

Blue Coyote Nachos
If you want a great appetizer for the weekend match-up or your next Super Bowl party everyone will enjoy, Blue Coyote Nachos are just the ticket. Inspired by nachos we had at the Blue Coyote Grill in Palm Springs years ago, this recipe is an instant favorite. Orange goopy, processed cheese peddled as food will [...]
Guacamole a.k.a. Squawk-a-mole
It doesn’t take long for the squawking to start once the avocados are on the counter … “when are you gonna make the guacamole?!” Rather than consider guacamole a condiment, we try to come up with entrées to go with our guac—though, the children see nothing wrong with just having guacamole as the main course.
