The charcuterie concept is inherently communal, making it the perfect low-stress potluck. Instead of asking Aunt Carol to bring "a side dish," ask her to be in charge of a board.

If you have never made homemade cranberry sauce you just haven't lived. Yes the pre-made is fine but the homemade is far better and it isn't even hard to do! 

This appetizer captures all the classic flavors of Thanksgiving in one elegant, bite-sized package. It’s perfect for using up holiday leftovers or serving as part of your Thanksgiving charcuterie board.

In her defense, it was a well intended effort to avoid giving us food poisoning so you have to give her credit where credit is due.

Each of these varieties offers a slightly different experience, catering to diverse preferences and culinary applications.

Appetizers are everyones favorite at any party and tend to be EXTRA amazing. And by extra I mean, EXTRA creamy, EXTRA spicy, EXTRA rich, EXTRA juicy, and EXTRA loved! 

You're not alone. Some of those wine lists can be rather overwhelming and downright intimidating.  The truth is, choosing the right wine can truly enhance the flavor and enjoyment of your meal. If you are going to pay for a nice meal and a glass or bottle of wine, you may as well get the most out of it that you can. 

Any El Az patron worth their margarita salt has dipped into their legendary cheese dip more than once (because just once is not humanly possible). It is "nacho" typical Mexican cheese dip (sorry, how could I pass that one up?).

A version of this is probably on the menu at your local pub/restaurant because it is a favorite! I think one of the most important reasons it works, is because the ranch (or dressing of choice) is mixed in instead of spread on the bread portion. The flavors mingle and become part of each other. 

Blend all ingredients together and use as needed for any recipe that calls for dry rub.

Taco pie is truly a fool proof dish and always a big hit.

The most important thing to remember is that variety is your best friend! This insures everyone on your guest list will find something to enjoy and also creates an aesthetically pleasing food arrangement.
