Looking for a fun and festive chocolate treat to make for Valentines day? You will love this recipe! The bark is beautiful with the bright red from the strawberries and raspberries and it is very addicting! This recipe can also be made with Enjoy Life chocolate to make the bark dairy and gluten free. This is a fun and easy recipe to make with kids or package up to give to friends!

Stuffed mushrooms definitely have to be at the top of my favorite appetizers list. I make these often for catered parties because they are the perfect bite. They are best served hot out of the oven but they are also fine at room temperature and can hold up on a platter for a bit. Its also nice that you can make these ahead of time or the day before and they pop them in the oven just before guests arrive. When I make these for the holidays I typically make a bunch of them vegetarian and then I add browned crumbled sausage into the remaining mixture to take them up a notch. They are amazing on their own but with sausage they are heavenly. I hope you enjoy them!!

This holiday wreath appetizer is so delicious and easy to make! It makes such a beautiful presentation on a holiday table and looks so nice with rosemary and a candle in the middle. This recipe can be scaled up or down to make the full recipe or a half recipe to serve 8. I have been making this for years and it is always a big hit! I hope you enjoy it!!

This is one of my favorite holiday appetizers, they are delicious and so easy to make. These are always on the menu for Thanksgiving and I often bring them to holiday parties, they are a huge hit. These bites only require 3 ingredients to make so it is a great recipe to have in your repertoire if you need a last minute appetizer. Feel free to swap in your favorite kind of jam, I recently made these with peach jam which I canned over the summer and they were amazing.

With the holidays approaching I wanted to share one of my favorite festive salads. Not only is it beautiful and perfect for your holiday table, it highlights some of the lovely produce that is in season this time of year. It is nourishing and colorful and very easy to throw together.

In honor of National Cookie Day, I wanted to share one of my very favorite, tried and true recipes. I have been making these cookies since I was in culinary school and it is always a crowd favorite. It is the perfect gooey, soft baked cookie and I love the nuttiness of the brown butter, paired with semi sweet chocolate and flaky sea salt on top. They are definitely a step up from your normal chocolate chip cookie recipe and I promise you will love them!

The weather in Connecticut is finally starting to feel like fall. I really love the cold weather because for me, that gives me an excuse to make a big pot of soup and curl up next to the fire. I am such a big soup fan that I could make different kind each day of the week and be happy! The inspiration for this meal came to me one chilly night where I just wanted something comforting and hearty. Think Panera’s broccoli and cheddar soup, and olive gardens pillowy soft breadsticks but better!
