Homemade Jalapeño Cheddar Pigs in a Blanket

Can we say…HELLOOOO Super Bowl?!

It’s just a fact that game day food is the best food. It’s the cheesiest, crunchiest, gooiest, spiciest stuff there is. Eating a salad while watching the Super Bowl is pretty much downright anti-American! Pizza, wings, burgers, dips of every shape and size – it’s all fair game. (See what I did there?) But I have to confess, my favorite game-day food is a little pedestrian, just a little bit scorned by the foodies of the world. We’re talking about the humble pig in a blanket, people.

Sweet Potato Latkes with Golden Raisins and Walnuts

Guys. DON’T WORRY. I didn’t forget about Hanukkah this year. You were worried, right? But just in the nick of time, I’m comin’ atcha with some latkes like BOOM.

A few weeks ago, I was talking to my best friend Emily and mentioned that I was sad I wasn’t going to any Hanukkah dinners or parties this year. I always love celebrating with my Jewish friends and their families, but this year, all of our close Jewish friends are living in different cities, and nothing came up on the calendar. Like the smart, savvy lady that she is, she suggested that I have my own Hanukkah celebration. And she’s totally right. I mean, why can’t two completely Christian people who have a healthy appreciation for all Jewish foods have a little latke party?

GUYS. It’s here. The best time of the year!!!!

No, not Christmas. Not QUITE. But it’s full-blown, no-holds-barred, decorate the Christmas tree and listen to obnoxious pop versions of classic Christmas songs and bake your face off season, and to me, that’s almost as fun as the real thing. Seriously, nothing makes me happier than spending days upon days making homemade Christmas gifts for the people I love and packaging them up all pretty. And not eating ANY of them myself, of course. Never!

White Bean Pumpkin Hummus

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes, Savory, Snacks, Vegan, Vegetarian

Sometimes, with all the pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake and pumpkin muffins out there in the world, it’s pretty easy to forget that pumpkin is…a vegetable (well, it’s technically a fruit, but you know what I mean). You know, like a healthy thing with nutrients. That can be used in other ways besides being covered up with butter and sugar. I know, CRAZY, right?
