Prosciutto Cups with Pear and Goat Cheese

December 3, 2018 By Shannah 25 Comments

Prosciutto cups with pears and goat cheese are the perfect easy party appetizer! This one bite appetizer is so perfect because it combines salty, savory and sweet flavors into one delicious little bite.

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.

Holiday Baking: Bacon Chile Cornbread Mini Muffins

December 8, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Collective Bias DisclosureEvery potluck I go to during the holiday season is missing one thing:  savory breads or muffins.  We have a lot of chili, tons of soups or pastas and more than our share of desserts.  But, I like a little bread with my soup or chili so I am always left missing the one thing that just isn’t there.  For our office holiday potluck and my own Christmas party, I set out to remedy that problem by baking cayenne bacon chile cornbread mini muffins.

Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

June 19, 2013 By Shannah 3 Comments

This post first appeared as part of my contributor series over at Sugar Bee Crafts.

Recently, I decided to try my hand at making salsa verde!  I was so excited with how it turned out…delicious!  It made a lot though so I looked for ways to use it beyond chips and salsa for snacks.  I figured why not replace the regular salsa and make salse verde chicken enchiladas!

Kid Friendly Food: Meatloaf Muffins

June 12, 2013 By Shannah 16 Comments

Kids are a funny bunch. They can be the pickiest eaters on the planet and forget trying to get them to eat any vegetables. These kid friendly meatloaf muffins are a perfect way to make a classic dinner more kid friendly! 

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.

Boozy Baking: Red Wine Cupcakes with Wine Cream Cheese Frosting

May 1, 2013 By Shannah 15 Comments

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 😉
