These amazing sweet, spicy and salty bourbon glazed peanuts are perfect for baseball games, football watching parties (Super Bowl, anyone?), or enjoying with a movie! Incredibly quick and easy, these delicious nuts are sure to be a hit at your next party. The woodsy and peppery rosemary compliments both the warm Brown Sugar Bourbon and spicy cayenne perfectly – these nuts are a flavor explosion with every bite!
Holiday desserts are great (Cranberry Orange Cake anyone?), but what I reallllly love about the holidays are the delicious appetizers. All the dips over here, please! So I’m really excited to share this super yummy appetizer with you! These Cranberry Jalapeno Poppers are a little sweet, a little spicy, and very cheesy!
With just a handful of ingredients, these jalapeno poppers couldn’t be easier! I love the flavor of the cranberries and jalapenos together, and I really love the flavor of the cranberries and cumin together. Add in the chives, cilantro and the yum factor goes sky high!
Makes 16 Rolls
Ingredients:
2 cans crescent rolls (I like Annie’s)
8 oz block of full-fat cream cheese
6 Tablespoons dried cranberries
2 Tablespoons chives, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions:
Preheat the oven per the crescent roll directions. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Combine all the ingredients except the rolls in a medium sized mixing bowl, and stir together with a spatula until well combined. Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the wide end of each crescent roll, and roll toward the point. Bake about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot!
We’re well into October and well into pumpkin spice season (aka the best season ever). I hope you’re not tired of it yet, because I’m just getting started! Today I’m sharing a super easy, super delicious fall dessert recipe – Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Bourbon Glaze!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite meals of the year! I love the food (especially the stuffing!), and the chance to be with family. Growing up, holiday meals were always enjoyed over a beautifully set table, and I always looked forward to it! It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, but taking the time to make the table a little more special made the whole dinner more memorable.
For this table, this year, I opted for a simple, yet elegant table with striking elements such as the gorgeous pewter chargers, complimented by beautiful white plates from Juliska and large eucalyptus arrangement.
Whenever I set a table, I pick one or two pieces to design the whole table around. For this table, it was these gorgeous pewter chargers! I chose a simple grey table runner, striped grey and white napkins, and rustic wood candle holders so that the chargers would really shine. Then I added some pops of red with roses in bud vases and candlesticks, and some fresh green eucalyptus in this beautiful textured ceramic vase!
I always think it’s fun to surprise guests with one or two really special treats. Sometimes it’s a delicious cocktail, calligraphy, or favors. For this table I set up mini charcuterie boards at each place setting, for each guest to enjoy as we gathered. So cute and so easy, and a really fun conversation starter!
I can’t get over these beautiful Berry & Thread dinner plates from Juliska. They are so well made – you can see in the photos how solid they are! The details are beyond gorgeous – I love the subtle texture they add with the raised thread and berries design around the edge.
Investing in a set of quality white plates is so helpful for entertaining all year round – you can use them for any color scheme, holiday, or your everyday family dinner. And the simple design means these plates can be used for any table you have in mind, from rustic to glam!
The Berry & Thread collection has so many gorgeous pieces from serving dishes to glassware, and I was so excited to use the Berry & Thread cake stand to serve pumpkin and red velvet cupcakes! (The pumpkin cupcakes were adapted from my Pumpkin Caramel Layer Cake recipe.)
Thank you to Juliska for gifting their items used in this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
