Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks. Part-skim mozzarella sticks coated with crispy seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until hot and golden.
Serve them with my quick marinara sauce and you have yourself an appetizer everyone will love. Hot mozzarella sticks, I can't think of a more popular finger food with both kids and adults alike! I mean, what's not to like? Baking them as opposed to frying and using part skim cheese doesn't effect how good these are. The cheese still melts, see for yourself! Of course, you'll want to serve them hot right out of the oven, because like any cheese, as they cool they harden.
It actually took me several attempts to get these perfect. These are freezer friendly, in fact these MUST be frozen before you bake them or you will have one big cheesy mess in your oven! Vegan Sweet Potato, Coconut Milk, & Roasted Chili Ravioli. That’s right—ravioli without cheese!
You’re skeptical, aren’t you? I understand. (I ♥ cheese too.) When it comes to vegan cooking and baking, cheese substitution is one of those things that gives me a headache. I’m a bit wary of soy-based alternatives, as they seem over-processed and unnatural in comparison. Honestly, if you’re too lazy to make ravioli, just make this filling and eat it like mashed potatoes. Vegan Sweet Potato, Coconut Milk, & Roasted Chili Ravioli yield: approximately 2 dozen large ravioli Dough. A-Freaking-Mazing Artichoke Dip. A while ago, I posted another recipe for artichoke dip, but let me tell you – this one blows that one out of the water. This one is thicker and richer, thanks to the cream cheese, and it also has a zing of flavor from the seasonings I added.
This one is also grain-free (the other one used flour as a thickener). Plus, it has yummy spinach swirled throughout it. Score! Spinach artichoke dip has always been one of my favorite appetizers to order in restaurants, but I basically never order it anymore because it’s always served with chips/bread/crackers. Another great thing about this dip is that it can be made very quickly by microwaving the ingredients sort-of-separately, mixing, then broiling in the oven. You will need: 8 oz. Mix all ingredients in a baking dish, and sprinkle on a bit more mozzarella, then broil until the cheese is browned.

I saw these pepperoni rolls on Pinterest and decided to make them for pizza night. This is one of those "why didn't I think of that" recipes! I can't believe I've never thought to do this before. I like to use turkey pepperoni on pizza. My favorite brand is Bridgford Turkey Pepperoni - it tastes just like regular pepperoni, but it isn't greasy!

Toasted Almond Parmesan Dip. Soooooo.

Lover of running, Nespresso, Lululemon, and all things French. Mama. New York Times best-selling author. Sometime insomniac. Mozzarella Sticks. When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy’s weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm.
Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn’t one-up T.G.I. Friday’s in my own kitchen. It might have been the alcohol, but the first batch was gone within a matter of seconds. Simultaneously crispy and gooey, these mozzarella sticks seem to defy the laws of physics and flavor.

Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip. Buffalo Chicken Bites. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is buffalo wings, especially dipped in blue cheese dressing.
There's something about the buffalo chicken and blue cheese combo that really appeals to me and I had a craving for it lately. When I came across a recipe for ham and cheese stuffed pretzel bites, I figured I could substitute it with chicken and blue cheese. That's when I decided to make these Buffalo Chicken Bites... yum! These are such an awesome snack, which could be a meal in itself if you have enough of them. It's not hard since they are addictively delicious!
I plan on making these again and experimenting with other fillings such a steak, provolone, sauteed peppers and onions for Philly Cheesesteak Bites... or even pepperoni, italian sausage, mozzarella and mushrooms for Pizza Bites. Buffalo Chicken Bites 2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise dry yeast 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup warm milk ( I used 2%) 2 1/2 cups of flour Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in the middle of the oven.
