On a trip to France during my own Olympic Campaign, I discovered (and fell in love with) Salmon Rillettes—a luxurious yet approachable French dish that combines the rich flavors of smoked salmon with the creamy texture of mayonnaise on crostini.

Cranberry-Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip
After a friend brought this to Friendsgiving, this became one of my favorite appetizers. It’s easy to make and a crowd-pleaser! – Katie
Cheese Fondue
Growing up, my family would always go to this fondue restaurant for special occasions. It has since closed, and after many attempts I have recreated their classic cheese fondue appetizer.
Watermelon & Feta Salad
My summer fruit of choice is watermelon and this recipe from my pal JM is always a crowd pleaser.
Mom’s Baked Clams
Being of Italian heritage we took the Feast of the Fishes very seriously on Christmas Eve. I have carried on that tradition making baked clams every Christmas Eve.
Mom’s Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons
My mom would make this almost every single night when I was growing up, and to this day it’s the only salad I’ll finish (much to my mom’s chagrin).
Artichoke Dip
The perfect comfort food to snack on before your holiday dinner!
Raspberry Black Bean Dip
This appetizer takes me right back to college! If you find yourself in Manhattan, KS, do yourself a favor and stop at So Long Saloon.
Old Fashioned Coleslaw
This is a very simple recipe I found online. Nothing exotic, it’s just really really good and balanced.
Kacey’s Killer Guacamole
This is my sister’s old recipe that we’ve been using for the past 20 years and it’s never failed to be a huge hit.
