I have made a cheese ball for every party I’ve ever hosted, and this year is no different. They are usually a pretty big hit, but I don’t mind leftovers because it makes a great snack for the next day when I’m cleaning up after the party. In the past, the cheese balls I made……

Caramelized Onion & Apple Mini Tarts

The possibilities are endless. 😛 To make one……

Tomato Bisque

As much as I love tomatoes, I have never been a big fan of tomato soup. However, I saw a photo of a tomato bisque and it just looked too creamy and beautiful not to make. The addition of smoked paprika tones down the “tomato soupy” flavor and adds an interesting kick of its own.……
