Every party needs an delicious one bite appetizer that the host can easily make in advance but also stands the test of the hours long it sits during a party. Prosciutto cups with pear and goat cheese are perfect for parties because much of the prep can be done 1-2 days ahead.
While they can survive a few hours on the party table, you won’t need to worry about that because they will totally disappear once people try them.

Need a simple but amazingly delicious dessert recipe for Valentine’s Day? These Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Hearts are perfect. They make a fantastic gift or make them for yourself to enjoy.

My kids love finger foods of just about any type. I decided to try and make a few of favorite homemade meals into a more kid friendly size. When the macaroni and cheese “cupcakes” were such a big hit, I decided to try turning our regular meatloaf into little muffins. {You can call them cupcakes if you want because most kids will eat anything that is called a cupcake.}

Happy Wednesday!
I love that our Wednesdays here on the blog are filled with delicious recipes. Putting together a weekly menu is so much easier when you can find inspiration all around blog land.
Sunday: A stew might sound a little heavy for our warming temperatures but I loved the idea of a red lentil stew so I had to add it!

The boozy baking continues here at Just Us Four. I couldn’t just stop with the whoopie pies so I decided to try out some cupcakes too. After all, cupcakes are where my love of boozy baking originated.
After a few {dozen} texts with Liz, I settled on trying red velvet cupcakes first. She was very supportive and assured me that I couldn’t really mess this up. I mean…I was using wine and nothing is bad with wine 😉
