Sausage Pizza Rolls

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Pizza, Recipes, Savory

The Super Bowl is exactly 2 weeks from today, and I could not be more excited! I love sports. Not playing them, of course, just watching them while eating. Duh.

In honor of the ultimate sports (ahem, food) event of the year, I have 2 recipes – one savory and one sweet – comin’ atcha before the big day for you to whip up for your Super Bowl party. Let’s kick things off with these sausage pizza rolls. Homemade pizza sauce, hot Italian sausage, creamy shredded cheese, and fresh basil are rolled up into an awesome hand-held pocket of deliciousness. Guys, it’s pretty much a homemade Hot Pocket. It’s game day food at its very best.

I’m still on this wholesome-but-totally-hearty-and-delicious kick, and it seems like most of the Internet is on board, too.

(Lightened Up) Traditional Chili

categories: Recipes, Savory, Soups, Stews, & Chilis

January has always presented a bit of a culinary conundrum for me. On one hand, it’s hard not to be totally inspired by all the healthy recipes out there on the inter-webs. On the other hand, it’s freakin’ freezing (can I just mention that the high in Chicago tomorrow is -13°F?) and all I’m craving is warm, hearty, hibernation foods. What’s a girl to do??

5 Minute Hummus

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes

New Year’s Eve is tomorrow, and in honor of the pending holiday, I thought I’d make a quick, easy, and fabulous party dip. I’m not going to lie – I’m totally a stay-at-home New Year’s Eve-er. The idea of paying $150 for the “privilege” of spending the evening surrounded by sweaty, drunk people at a random bar (not to mention having to keep my heels on ALL NIGHT) is definitely not my idea of a good time.
