I love to make mini caprese skewers for holiday parties. These cute appetizers are easy, fast, and don’t take up any oven space. They are actually great for parties any time of the year but the colors (red, green, and white) are especially perfect for the Christmas season. You might even want to serve the skewers in the formation of a wreath for extra holiday cheer. Next time you are in charge of a holiday appetizer consider mini caprese skewers, you won’t regret it!

It’s hard for me to transition to fall because I love summer so much but two things help – apple cider and pumpkin everything. Watching football and drinking a delicious steaming mug of hot buttered rum apple cider is a great way to spend a weekend. Below I’ve included instructions for how to make this tasty fall drink in a slow cooker. It makes an entire gallon so it’s great to serve at a party. You certainly can cut the recipe down to whatever amount of servings you want. Also, you can make this recipe on top of the stove instead of a slow cooker.

I love cherries and summer is the time when we definitely eat the most in our household. Unfortunately, I am not the biggest fan of cherry pie (or any berry pie for that matter). But, I do love crisps! For my mother’s birthday, I made this crisp and liked it so much I knew I had to write the recipe down so I could recreate it again. Cherry Berry Crisp has cherries, strawberries, and blueberries topped with a brown sugar/oatmeal crumble. My favorite way to serve this crisp is warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I love puppy chow! It is my go-to snack for long car rides. For summer, I wanted to make my puppy chow the perfect camping treat so I added some flavors to have a s’mores version. This recipe makes a lot. There will be plenty for traveling, eating around the campfire, and as a reward for making such a tasty snack.
