Don’t you love it when the food thing you bring to a party or potluck is super popular?

I mean, that’s just fun and happy, right? and you don’t have to worry about bringing home leftovers. If it is a housewarming or event other than just a casual weekend get together, I often buy a set of bowls to bring the foods in, and then leave the bowls as a gift….

Cool Vegan Dill Pickle Dip Bread Bowl

December 20, 2016 by Kristina Sloggett 5 Comments

Cool Vegan Dill Pickle Dip Bread Bowl – perfect for a potluck, holiday party, or game day – this cool and tangy dip will be a crowd favorite!

I seem to be going totally retro with my holiday recipes, right? First a Spiced Pumpkin Basil Cheese Ball, now an old school, church basement potluck, good old fashioned Dill Dip in a Bread Bowl.

Jason asked me to make this. He randomly said to me “you know what I haven’t had in a long time, that I really want this year? dip in a rye bowl!” The grandson of a Methodist minister, he says they always had these.

When he described it to me, it reminded me of a dip I made all the time in college, and always around the holidays. Back then, my favorite Nordstrom store (the one downtown) would …

Spiced Pumpkin Basil Cheese Ball

December 13, 2016 by Kristina Sloggett 16 Comments

Spiced Pumpkin Basil Cheese Ball – this is an easy recipe for an impressive appetizer that brings layers of rich flavor – the hit at any party!

This is where I describe the huge party we had, and the several cheeseboards we offered, just like this one. Well yeah – only it wasn’t. This cheeseboard was for a Saturday afternoon at home, when Jason returned from a haircut and errands all morning. We had our neighbors over for wine.

We were basically celebrating …

Vegan Bacon Wrapped Mini Breakfast Burritos – now you can have your bacon and eggs and veggies all rolled up in a mini hand held, breakfast style!

Vegan Bacon Wrapped Mini Breakfast Burritos

When burritos are mini, you can eat more of them, right?

So, I recently shared my Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates – made with vegan bacon inspired by the original Lækon-strimler (bacon strips). When rice paper bacon first hit the vegan food scene, just like everyone else I could not get enough. Every day I was makin’ bacon.

My first idea, really, was keeping the rice papers intact – not cutting them into strips. Making a crazy bacon wrapped spring roll. Almost immediately that thought turned into a mini breakfast burrito.

Because, bacon. and asparagus:

But really, you can …

Sweet Pepper Poppers with Guacamole Crunch

May 28, 2016 by Kristina Sloggett 20 Comments

Sweet Pepper Poppers with Guacamole Crunch – cheesy cousin to the jalapeño popper, these pepper bites are the colorful hit of summertime!

Sweet Pepper Poppers with Guacamole Crunch @spabettie

Jalapeño poppers are one of my favorite things to bring to a summertime bbq. For quite a while now, I have been thinking about using sweet peppers to make a popper – I haven’t done that in … four years?

For a bbq this afternoon, I made a quick four ingredient cheese based on my Tangy Cheese Sauce – piped it into these sweet peppers (two ways – grilled stand up style where the tops get cut off, and halves that are filled, topped with crunchy …

Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates

May 10, 2016 by Kristina Sloggett 22 Comments

Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates – tangy rich and smoky sweet, these bite size gems are always welcome at the party table! plan on making a double batch, at least.

We had a small cocktail party before the Melvins concert last week, and these Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates were the star. Well, my dachshund cocktail napkins were the real star.

Food wise, bacon. dates. sweet salty tangy savory goodness. A perfect party bite that …

Veggie Burger Recipe Collection

May 4, 2016 by Kristina Sloggett 11 Comments

Veggie Burger Recipe Collection – burgers for every flavor craving, even those you may not know you have – protein packed and plant based burgers for all!

Although it is raining today (is she really talking about the weather again?), the sun will be back tomorrow! We are planning to bring the outdoor furniture out of storage this weekend, and we might fire up the grill.

That first grill of the season – isn’t it the best?

Well, maybe not – any time we grill is pretty right on. I cannot wait for my first fresh grilled corn on the cob.

In compiling this veggie burger recipe collection, I stuck to burgers for the most part – with the exception of my favorite Cheesy Nacho Mushroom Melts. Right after that one, we are right back to burgers with a burger topped salad, for those who want to forgo the bun.

Or just love a warm protein topper to a cool crisp salad. *Raises hand*

This collection has some old favorites – my Sushi Ramen Burgers really need to be made again soon. My Chick-quin Burgers stuffed with Miyoko’s Mozzarella are always a welcome flavor – Marinara and Basil Aioli? Yes please and thank you.

Two of my cheese sauce recipes are also included. I recently made the Tangy Cheese Sauce – you may see it soon as a Totchos recipe.

Until then, bring on the burgers!
