Quick Personal Pizzas

Now of course the idea of personal pizzas did not originate with me, but I would still like to dedicate a post to them because they are a really nice thing to have in your recipe repertoire.  They can be a fast, delicious, very customizable, and reasonably healthy meal, fun for everyone involved.

Entertaining Guests with Dietary Restrictions

Food allergies are rampant in a family that is very near and dear to me, so in response to their suggestion, I have decided to write a post dedicated to entertaining guests with dietary restrictions, with particular focus on allergies.

Entertaining Made Easy

Entertaining does not have to be a difficult task at all.  With these tips and pictures from my Halloween party, I hope you can find entertaining a little easier and more enjoyable.

Easy Quiche

My Aunt Amy's quiche recipe is one of my favorites.  It's easy (because it's crust-less), delicious, easily customized, and makes outstanding leftovers.  It's great for feeding a crowd for brunch, and a good standby for any meal!  I have adapted it a bit, and it's a very flexible recipe, so feel free to play with it.

Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes

These stuffed tomatoes are sure to be a hit!  Stuffed with wholesome brown rice, homemade cheese (see previous recipe) and fresh herbs, they make an excellent appetizer or snack. They impress even more when the tomatoes are homegrown!

Easy Homemade Cheese

Fresh cheese is a wonderful treat, and making homemade cheese never fails to make me feel pretty darn proud of myself.  Like the vast majority of my recipes, there is a lot of room for personalization.  It comes together in a snap, it typically wows a crowd, and its versatility makes it a great starting point for a lot of other recipes.  The best part about this cheese is its simplicity.  The basic cheese only has two ingredients.  Seriously.  Two.  You read that right.

Sangria

I don't know about everyone else, but I really enjoy sipping on a nice cold drink with a friend or family member on a hot summer day.  One of the most delicious, and certainly most beautiful, of these drinks is sangria.  A great thing about sangria is you can make it however you want, based on your tastes and/or what you have on hand.  A pitcher of sangria is very eye catching and typically goes over very well at any gathering.  Below are some ways you can mix up this simple and delicious beverage.
