Oh so garlicky, honey-sweet and spicy!” - Gina
5 Layer Cream Cheese Chili Dip
“There are so many layers of flavor in this chili cheese dip. All the flavors meld together as you scoop it out. Cream cheese mixed with chili and cheese is always a winner. Adding chiles and jalapenos are bombs of flavor in the dip. Jalapenos add a small kick of spice. Not only are the green onions a nice garnish, but they also add a little freshness to the dip. There should be a warning label on this because it's addictive.” - Kitchen Crew
Sweet & Sassy Wing Sauce
“Made these wings yesterday and oh my goodness...fantastic. Wanted to make another batch in the middle of the night they were so good I couldn't sleep for thinking about them. LOL. My new go to recipe...and I love it that you can adjust the hot sauce to your taste!” - Jeannine

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders
“These aren't your typical sliders. It's hearty and meant for a meat lover. This bakes into a big, thick cheesy slider. Nothing skimpy about these. The ranch is a nice complement to the shredded chicken. The mound of bacon is held down by a thick gooey cheese layer. You get a bit of tang from the Dijon mustard. Brushing melted garlic butter on at the end is the perfect last touch. Serve these to friends and watch them disappear.” - Kitchen Crew
Garlic Parmesan Wings
“If you're a fan of garlic, you need to stop what you're doing and make these garlic Parmesan chicken wings. They are spicy and garlicky with a hint of Parmesan flavor. We could eat these all day. So good, you're going to want to make these chicken wings all the time, not just during football season.” - Kitchen Crew
Pizza Dip
“This is a very easy and delicious dip. I always come home with an empty dish whenever I take this anywhere. Another variation is to add 1/4 cup sour cream to cream cheese mixture along with a sprinkling of dried Italian seasoning blend along with the other ingredients listed, mixing well. Can be easily doubled.” - Joelle
Jalapeno Bacon Wonton Poppers
“Made these for staff meeting and they were an instant favorite. Quite spicy and I tweaked the original version by adding bacon to the mix. Great for those game time parties as well.” - Brandi
Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
“This recipe is a favorite with my family. It combines my daddy's artichoke dip and my spinach dip to create one fantastic hot, creamy, and cheesy dip.” - Janet
Hot Crab Dip
“Sweet lump crab meat is the star ingredient in this hot crab dip recipe. It's creamy, cheesy, and delicious. The seasoning is just enough to have a little zing, but not enough to take away from the richness of the dip. This could be a little on the fancy side or served at a very casual event. So good!” - Kitchen Crew
Homemade Pigs in a Blanket
“A quick and easy pigs in a blanket recipe that will convince you never to pick up a frozen package again. Using instant mashed potatoes lightens up the dough. The hardest part about this recipe is rolling out the dough. Serve with mustard or ketchup for a weekend lunch or simple weeknight meal. This recipe uses hot dogs, but you could easily substitute with little smokies if you're looking for an appetizer. Your family will love these!” - Kitchen Crew

Easy Macaroni and Cheese Bites Appetizer
“Indulge in your favorite comfort food, minus the guilt, with our homemade macaroni and cheese bites. I've added toasted Panko, bacon and parsley to give this dish a gourmet edge.” - Sylvia
Deviled Eggs
“At first glance, these look like regular deviled eggs but one bite and you're hooked. They're creamy and full of flavor. The faint flavor from horseradish sauce is enough to know something's different from the spice but you can't put your finger on it. The same goes with the Romano cheese. It's faint but adds a bit of savoriness and zest to these deviled eggs. This recipe makes a lot and is great if you're serving a crowd (or really like deviled eggs).” - Kitchen Crew
Sinful Cheese Dip
“I am asked to bring this amazing cheese dip to EVERY function I attend. It is very easy to make and makes a FULL Crock Pot! It's wonderful for game day.” - Amber
