Cocktail wieners in the slow cooker were at every party that I went to as a child of the 80's. Kids asked for them and grown men made meals on them. These are still a huge hit at every party even if it's just nostalgia. Then, the standard recipe was a combination of grape jelly, …
Skillet Caramelized Onion Dip
Put those preserves to work. This thick and cheesy, savory-sweet caramelized onion dip made with a scoop of Potlicker jelly is perfect for digging into while watching the ball game but is also appropriate for movie night, game night, or “I just felt like eating dip for dinner” night.

Carrot Cake Jam Dip

I have told you before that wontons are a great way to use up small amounts of leftovers. Here is more proof. The other day I pulled some leftover chili from the depths of my freezer. It struck me as odd because rarely is there any leftover chili in the house. Tall Dark and Handsome …

You could mingle, eat one of these, a bite of that, never too much. A fantastic social atmosphere, where conversations and complements are a cultivated …
