Think traditional Chex mix, but with a Fall twist. We love the salty sweet. 🎃 Road trips and snack mix go together like coastal drives and sunsets.

Raspberry Cheese Spread
We have staple appetizers at my house, ones I make without glancing at the recipe and made over and over. I can count on a request for this recipe from several friends if they are coming over. I first learned of this recipe from a friend in Victoria, Texas. BJ and her mom shared this with me close to 15 years ago and it's been a favorite on this site since 2011.  This recipe takes a cheese dip to a whole new level. However, the taste is full of flavor...cheese, spice, and sweet. Enjoy!

Monterey Jack cheese 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese 1 can Ro-Tel 1/4 cup diced purple onion 1 (10-oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and… Continue reading Spinach Dip & Pita Chips
Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
Oh how I love this recipe. It’s so versatile and I’d say dangerous if it wasn’t so darn healthy! It all mixes up in a food processor and will make any Mexican dish better. You could even use it as a salad dressing. Or one could sit and eat it for breakfast with chips. Hypothetically. It… Continue reading Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

She told us it was quick and easy and she is right. She told us it had the word Neimans in it and we were scared it… Continue reading Neiman Marcus Dip
Laurel’s Stuffed Mushrooms
Having made this recipe so many times, I have forgotten who Laurel actually is. What I haven't forgotten is that is one the most requested recipes. I have tried several different variations of stuffed mushrooms, but this one is tried and true. These are often made the day before and covered with foil until ready… Continue reading Laurel’s Stuffed Mushrooms
Quick Cheddar Cheese Fondue
We had so much fun with Truman in town seeing us last week. After doing a little indoor skydiving, we went to Dave & Busters and had chocolate fondue. It was such a hit that the next night, we decided to make cheddar cheese fondue. It was loved by all! We served it with three kinds… Continue reading Quick Cheddar Cheese Fondue
Summertime Salty Sweet Snack Mix

If you are a salty sweet kind of gal, you will love this. Ingredients: 6 cups mini pretzels 2 cups of oyster crackers 2… Continue reading Summertime Salty Sweet Snack Mix
Cherry Pistachio Brie
I used to make something similar but in puff pastry, but I think the puff pastry was unnecessary, and this is prettier. I served it at the inaugural book club for my neighborhood, and it was all GONE! 1/2 cup  snipped dried cherries (ideally chopped with scissors in a little bowl) 1/4 cup  cherry preserves 1 tablespoon  Cognac or brandy… Continue reading Cherry Pistachio Brie
