Ham and Swiss Pinwheels
It's new year's day and we started the year off right! We slept in and then indulged in these ham and Swiss pinwheels. They are delicious. In fact, I've made these twice in the last seven days. I made them Christmas morning and then again today. Friends, they are quickly climbing the breakfast ladder. Not a breakfast fan? Don't count yourself out yet, they will make a fantastic appetizer too.

Grandma’s No Bananas Foster Sauce
Bananas foster holds a soft spot in my little foodie heart. Years ago, my grandma and I took a trip together to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. It was an amazing trip.

Hot Cheesy Spinach Dip
I'm about to gush a little, this Hot Cheesy Spinach Dip is that good, it's legendary! It's the dip, I'm known for in my circle of friends, not that I can take credit for it.
