Faith says:
For the holiday season, I don’t know about you, but in addition to scouting around for new cookie recipes, I’m always looking for new appetizer ideas as well. I like to switch things up for holiday parties and this combo (jalapeno poppers + potato skins) is a fun one to do just that. (And be sure to keep this recipe in mind for game-day parties too!)

From the First Year Blog was found this awesome Football Puppy Chow.
Beth says:
We took everyone’s beloved party snack (puppy chow!) and football-ified it. I am also pretty confident that almost anything can be football-ified (this word should be added to the dictionary, btw!)

Here’s another great idea for your sweet tooth. Football Cupcakes from Your Cup of Cakes.com.

It starting to look like winter but it’s still officially fall. Here’s one more pumpkin recipe:
Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip from Mom on Time Out.com.
Mom says:

From Can’t Stay out of the Kitchen we have one more dessert: Cake Batter Blondies.
Teresa says:
Cake Batter Blondies are a wonderfully, decadent, amazing little brownie. This one is so simple, and it uses only a few ingredients. It uses white chocolate chips to make it rich, and the cake or cookie decorating sequins (rainbow sprinkles) in the batter to give it bursts of color. It is a dense, gooey bar that is spectacular in appearance as well as taste. If you’re looking for easy, economical, quick, delicious, and a brownie (blondie) without nuts, this is it!
