Monkey bread is always a favorite with groups, however, in some settings it is not practical or easy for everyone to literally pull apart from the same loaf of bread. Earlier this year I made my monkey bread in muffin tins for individual servings that turned out perfectly for a party.

These prosciutto-wrapped goat cheese-stuffed jalapeno poppers look fancier than they really are. In terms of the ingredient list and the preparation steps they are as simple as an appetizer gets. Dress them up for a holiday cocktail party or share them at a casual summer BBQ.

I have had the opportunity to work on the Pass the Prosciutto – Gluten Free Holiday Entertaining campaign through Prosciutto di Parma. The Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma (the organization that certifies this ham from the hills around Parma, Italy and gives the brand of ham its quality seal of approval) is celebrating 50 years although the tradition of making this ham is more than 1,000 years old.

Use the cheeses of your choice to build these comforting autumn-inspired squash bruschetta. They work as an hors d’oeuvre, a mid-afternoon snack or a {small plate} main course.

Growing up on the Olympic Peninsula, we routinely took the ferry across the Puget Sound to Seattle… and to just about anywhere else. When I think of clam chowder I think of those countless ferry rides we took back and forth, and the famous Ivar’s chowder {always with oyster crackers} served aboard the ferries, and throughout Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area.

Cinnamon-sugar is a favorite comfort combo for me. It was a logical step to up the comfort and sandwich my cinnamon {snickerdoodle} ice cream between soft & chewy snickerdoodle cookies.

Bell peppers would make a colorful and flavorful bowl for any type of soup, however, I thought they found the perfect match with tortilla soup. This crockpot version of my tortilla soup (with or without the pepper bowls) is simple and easy for busy weekday nights.

I don’t know about you, but with the soggy, windy weather this week we spent the last weekend holed up in the house. I admit that at moments we went a little stir crazy but deep down I think we enjoyed the excuse to pause and recover from our hectic summer schedule.

Pumpkins. Squash. Caramel…Ice cream. I know ice cream may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of fall. However, for me, ice cream is a year-round comfort food and I especially love making autumn-appropriate flavors. The sweet, saltiness of this caramel sauce paired with the creamy, refreshing French vanilla ice cream speaks autumn.
