Years ago I had the most amazing pizza! It was loaded with so many different and unique toppings…prosciutto, arugula, fresh figs, and a balsamic glaze. It’s not the type of pizza I would normally order…but I was so glad I did! It was love at first bite! The flavors combine for the most amazing dinning experience! So, when I ran across some fresh figs a few weeks ago…well, ya know…I had to recreate the JOY!

Grilled Salmon and Apricot Bruschetta is the perfect start to any summer meal! A bowl full of golden dried apricots, feta cheese, basil, toasted pecans, and a balsamic dressing create this delicious bruschetta. Combined with grilled Salmon it’s a spectacular beginning or evening sunset finger food.

Crispy Golden Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings prepared using my new Mealthy Crisplid…my favorite new kitchen tool! These wings are scrumptious! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and loaded with so much flavor. The biggest plus…air fried! That means a whole lot less calories and more wings for your tummy!

Finger Foods are the BEST food for a Big Football game…if you happen to know of any coming up! These Mini Beef Flautas are oven baked to a crisp and served with fresh made Guacamole. They’re SO good your guests may forget there’s a game on! Welll…maybe not…but they’ll enjoy the eats!!

It was so popular that I decided to change it up a bit for the upcoming Holiday Season and make it a Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Dip! Just when you think a favorite can’t get any better…you find out it can! This is the perfect dessert dip for this years festivities and I promise it will be the hit of dessert table.
