Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Baked chicken meatballs with minced celery and carrots hidden inside, topped with Franks hot sauce – with Superbowl Sunday happening this weekend, these are a must!

I topped these with my homemade blue cheese dressing and minced a little celery leaf for garnish – totally optional! Since they are appetizers and made an odd number, I calculated the n.i. per meatball but by all means, eat more than one!

Two Tomato Bruschetta

I want to thank Better Homes and Gardens for giving me the opportunity this month to guest post on their blog, Delish Dish. This was the last recipe I shared with them, perfect for the Superbowl or any get together.

I recreated their original recipe, making a few adjustments. Their recipe made 8 but this easily made 10 pieces, and I used some of the olive oil the recipe called for to drizzle on top. Otherwise I followed it exact. Delish!

Avocado Toast with Sunny Side Egg

This is MY kind of egg sandwich! Whole grain toast with mashed avocado, a runny egg and a few dashes of hot sauce – only 5 ingredients, 5 minutes to make, doesn't get better than that!

I'm not much of a breakfast person, most mornings I usually grab a cup of coffee, a hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit, or whip up a smoothie. But lately, I've been obsessed with avocado toast for breakfast, especially when I have avocados in my fridge that need to be used up.

If you're like me and love avocado toast, I'd love to hear how you top yours!
