Instructions
Heat oven to 325°F. Grease bundt pan. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth and fluffy. Beat in rest of ingredients until smooth; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cake mix as directed on the box.

Refrigerate until serving time. Store loosely covered in the refrigerator.
Chocolate cookie cups filled with a fluffy chocolate Kahlua cheesecake. The perfect bite-sized indulgence!
This mini Kahlua cheesecake recipe should definitely be on your list of must-try treats. The creamy cheese filling is laced with Kahlua for a subtle hint of coffee flavor that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate cookie crust.
If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, this recipe can easily be done with a regular muffin pan or even as a whole cheesecake.
Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie Cups or Pie crust :
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder sifted
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar packed
2 large eggs room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Kahlua Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
8 oz cream cheese full fat,softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate melted, cooled
1/4 cup Kahlua Liquor
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powders, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugars on med-high until light and fluffy (approx. 2-3mins). Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Beat until combined. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough into muffin tins, press down to flatten.
Bake for approx. 10-13 minutes or until mostly set, but still soft in the middle.
Remove from the oven and immediately use a small glass (shot glass works great) to press firmly down in the center to create a well. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, loosen each slightly by twisting it in the pan. Cool for 5 more minutes then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Kahlua Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks (ideally with a cold whisk and in a cold bowl).
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add chocolate and Kahlua and beat until incorporated.
Fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream and pipe into cooled cookie cups. Refrigerate until set (approx. 2 hours).
If making as a cheesecake, follow these instructions… Bake in oven at 350°F for 60 minutes. Edges will likely have slightly puffed and may have just begun to turn a light golden brown and the center should spring back to the touch but will still be Jello-jiggly. Don’t over-bake or the texture will suffer, which means we all suffer.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired.
Serve chilled and eat within 2-3 days. Or freeze for up to 4 weeks.

Whether you’re entertaining or making these Crab Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms for a weeknight dinner, this recipe will not disappoint. I love to serve these stuffed mushrooms over a simple shaved Brussel sprouts but feel free to serve over rice, pasta or even as an appetizer on their own.
Where to find the crab meat?
Look for pasteurized jumbo, lump crab in the seafood section of the supermarket. The regular lump crab or even claw meat blends perfectly with the sour cream mixture and goes a lot farther.
Here’s another trick… for mushrooms that’ll hold their shape when stuffed: roast them first, before adding the filling, to draw out some of their extra moisture.
The Brussel Sprouts Salad
Whoever made Brussel sprouts the new cool veggie, thank you! For a while, roasted was the only way I ate Brussel sprouts and then one day I tried the shredded brussel sprouts salad at Cooper’s Hawk and my mind was blown! It’s so simple and doesn’t require a salad dressing, just shredded parmesan cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice.
I like to use my food processor to shred the sprouts but you can also use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. For this recipe, I also like to roast about a ½ cup of the sprouts to add a little more flavor and texture. You choose what you like! And you feel free to serve this salad alone or with my crab stuffed mushrooms.
INGREDIENTS
Stuffed Mushrooms
24 large baby Bella mushrooms (about 1 lb.)
Olive oil cooking spray
8 oz fresh lump crabmeat
¼ cup scallions chopped
6 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
¼ cup Parmesan grated
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
Brussel sprout salad
1 pound brussels sprouts
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon zest and juice of one lemon
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
Stuffed Mushrooms
Preheat the broiler, setting the temperature on high. Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven (this will prevent the mushrooms from scorching under the broiler). Line a broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Use damp paper towels to gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Gently twist the stems off. Spray the mushrooms with olive oil on both sides. Broil in the middle of the oven until just tender, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Transfer the crabmeat to a medium bowl, feeling through the meat to make sure no shell pieces remain.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the paprika and mix well until fully combined.
Spoon the crab mixture into the mushrooms, dividing it evenly. Each mushroom should hold about 2 tablespoons of filling. Pack the filling into the mushrooms and pile it high.
Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with paprika.
Arrange the mushrooms, filling side up, back on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray them with olive oil.
Broil the mushrooms briefly, just until the filling is warm and golden, for about 3 minutes.
Brussel Sprouts Salad
Shave the Brussel sprouts using a food processor and place in a large bowl, breaking them up with your hands and discarding any tough pieces.
Take ¼ cup of the sprouts and place on a baking sheet. Broil for ten minutes until the edges are brown and crispy.
Toss the cooked and raw sprouts in a large bowl with the lemon zest and juice until coated. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the sprouts to soften and the flavors to combine.
Before serving, toss in the grated parmesan and taste again for seasonings, adding more salt and pepper, if needed.

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, we all are face to face with the Leftover Problem. Well have no fear, I have the perfect solution for all the leftover stuffing. These Sausage Stuffing Bites are perfect to use leftover stuffing to make! They can be used for an appetizer at your Friendsgiving celebration. You can also make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake and serve them. They are perfect for parties and family gatherings during the holidays.
Ingredients
Sausage Stuffing Bites
2 boxes Savory Herbs Stuffing or 2 cups leftover stuffing
½ pound of hot Italian sausage
½ pound of mild Italian sausage
Sea salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup of mozzarella cheese or shredded cheese cheddar
1/3 cup dried cranberries, minced
2 beaten eggs
Gravy Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
¾ stick of butter
3 to 4 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add the garlic and cranberries, mix and cook for 5 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, cook the stuffing.
Once sausage and stuffing is cooked, combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix with your hands. Do not ocean out the sausage pan, we will use the drippings for the gravy.
Using a cookie scoop, (or hands) scoop the sausage balls onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, till they are browned on top.
While sausage stuffing bites are cooking, make the gravy dipping sauce.
Over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the butter soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the broth, stirring constantly.
Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of broth or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Place dipping sauce in a serving bowl and serve with Sausage Stuffing Bites
Let’s get ready for some football!! This Beer cheese dip is perfect for any game day party.
A combination of your favorite beer, a variety of cheeses, and ranch seasonings this recipe is a welcome addition to any appetizer spread! Serve with pretzel bites, tortilla chips or even veggies!
What kind of beer do you like best? Then that is the beer you should use!
Dark Beers like stouts, and malts will produce a deep and bitter flavor.
Light Beers like ales and IPA’s will give a lighter kind of flavor (this is my personal favorite).
Non-Alcoholic beers work just fine in this recipe too!
Think about what you are dipping into this gooey cheesy dip and choose the flavor from there! The darker beers are best with pretzels, pretzel sticks, tortilla chips, and bread.
For the lighter side, use carrot sticks, broccoli and cauliflower or zucchini.
I use a combination of cheddar, gruyere and cream cheese. The cheddar and gruyere add flavor while the cream cheese adds a creamy texture. Choose any cheese you like!
This Beer Cheese Dip is super easy to make ahead! All you need to do is cool it and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to reheat it!

Acorn squash gets roasted to perfection and tossed with chicken sausage, kale, cranberries, pecans and melty goat cheese for the perfect salty and sweet combo.
Ingredients
Acorn squash
2 acorn squash medium
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt or more
black pepper freshly ground
Squash filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion small, diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 pint mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
10 oz chicken sausage, crumbled
4 oz kale, chopped
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup pecans, chopped
4 oz goat cheese
Instructions
Roast acorn squash
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Cut off the top and the bottom of each acorn squash to create a flat base. Make sure not to cut too deep into the base of the squash.
Slice each squash in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fleshy strands tangled with the seeds.
Place acorn squash cut sides up on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the cut sides of acorn squashes with olive oil and rub the oil into the squash. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Turn the squash over, and place it cut sides down on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven at 400 F for 30 minutes.
Make squash filling
Make the sausage filling while the squash is being roasted in the oven.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add diced onion and garlic, and cook it on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until cooked and a bit charred.
Add the chopped mushrooms, and saute until soft.
Add crumbled sausage and rosemary, cook on medium heat until the sausage is completely cooked through.
Add fresh kale and cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat until the kale wilts.
Add dried cranberries and chopped pecans and mix everything.
Season with salt and pepper.
How to stuff acorn squash
By this time, you have roasted the acorn squash for 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and turn cooked squash halves cut sides up.
Divide the sausage filling among the 4 halves and stuff the squash until the mixture is leveled or a little bit higher. Sprinkle each half with goat cheese.
Bake the stuffed acorn squash in the preheated oven at 350 F for 10 or 20 more minutes until the sausage mixture is heated through.
