THREE CHEESE MINI NACHOS

As the days get cooler, you can feel Fall is just around the corner and football season is upon us! My husband loves watching the sport and I have been drawn in myself as well. More so than watching the games (which are always fun) I love planning the food spread. Fall brings the feeling of comfort food and nachos are definitely on that list!

When having people over throughout the season I like to serve something warm (and cheesy preferably) and this recipe checks both those boxes! Since sometimes sharing a large platter can be awkward, l am serving the next round of nachos in individual mini bowls so everyone can have their own bite! This gives you your own portion of melted cheese goodness – how can you go wrong with that?!

WATERMELON MINT SALSA

I love embracing every season when it comes to entertaining as they each bring out different unique touches – this is especially true when it comes to food. Summer provides us with the most delicious, flavourful fruits and vegetables that are beyond mouth watering. Fall on the other hand has its own gems which help us get cozy for the winter time! As we only have a few weeks of summer left, I am taking full advantage of the seasonal fruit with this amazingly refreshing Watermelon Mint Salsa.

Watermelon is another one of my favourite summer fruits (among cherries and peaches!) and this salsa is perfect for a hot summers day to share with a crowd. Pair it with some nacho chips or mini pita breads and you have the perfect potluck dish!

TORTILLA PINWHEELS

These tortilla pinwheels are such an easy thing to whip up if you need a quick appetizer. I’ve created two recipes below which you can follow or change up with your own ideas! I love this appetizer because you can essentially customize it in multiple ways. Also this can be more than just an appetizer – makes a great lunch or snack in general!

I have to be honest with you – these guys do not photograph well! I haven’t encountered this often but I promise they are more delicious than they seem – especially the spinach smoked salmon (my fav!). Don’t judge a book by its cover!

ROASTED GARLIC GUACAMOLE DIP

Our household obsession for avocados has officially reached new heights and I’m definitely not mad about it! My husband and I were grocery shopping the other day and I picked up an avocado to purchase, looked at it for 2 seconds and placed it in our cart. I wish I had a picture of this avocado but it was essentially the size of half my head. Not my hand…not my fist…my head! We are officially those people that buy the largest possible avocado know to man and thoroughly enjoy it!

Now what is the best thing to make with your lovely new avocado? Guacamole obviously! I’ve created a dip with my other obsession – roasted garlic. I promise the two play nicely together! This dip is extremely easy to make and extremely easy to finish in one sitting – I suggest doubling or tripling the recipe if you have a few people over!

NACHO SALSA DIP

The countdown to the Superbowl is officially on and I have the perfect salsa dip for you! This multi-layer dip makes an appearance at most of our special occasions and is always a crowd favourite. The recipe actually came from my best friend Tanja and it was too good not to share! We have both modified it many times to include various ingredients we love (see below for options) and it keeps getting better each time!
