For your next soiree, whip up this delicious Caramelized Onion Whipped Ricotta – perfect for chips or your favorite veggies!

I don’t know about you but when I hear caramelized onions, my ears perk up. Whether it’s in a dip, on a burger , or in a recipe like my Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions or French Onion Bites, there’s something about the flavor it imparts – like the perfect savory meets sweet flavor profile.

After having a savory whipped ricotta with my Bacon Thyme Scones last month, I was smitten and knew I had to try it with caramelized onions. Can I say while I love my light Caramelized Onion Dip, this Caramelized Onion Whipped Ricotta will be taking its place for entertaining this holiday season. It’s got a herby bite from the thyme and this luscious taste from the whipped ricotta. I used part skim ricotta to make it lighter and my friends and family loved this in place of the standard onion dip….

I have the ultimate bacon packed appetizer that will be the hit at any party – these bite-size Bacon Thyme Scones with Savory Whipped Ricotta.

They are so easy to make and I can guarantee that you will be tempted to make a double batch. The Savory Whipped Ricotta will also be a favorite to spread on these lovely scones with a creamy cheesy bite. This could also be a favorite recipe for an afternoon tea….

Sometimes you just need an appetizer idea will wow your guests.

I believe that no party is really complete unless it has a fabulous dip that will have your guests coming back for more. I adore traditional dips like my favorite Caramelized Onion Dip, cheesy, gooey Queso Fundido , Roasted Red Pepper Dip or perhaps a chic and easy Cheese Fondue. However, when I was brainstorming recipes that would be perfect for not only fall, but also Halloween, I knew I had to make a savory Roasted Butternut Squash Dip….

Welcome to Day #2 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. With the big football game coming up, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25.

One classic that was always at any get-together is the tried and true – onion dip. However, what if we amp’d up the flavors and made it a bit lighter? Now that sounds like an onion dip I’d adore.

This Caramelized Onion Dip takes a bit of time to prepare but I promise you the flavor is well worth the time investment. Rich caramelized onions flavored with a touch of thyme and mixed with Greek yogurt and light cream cheese results in a dip that definitely did not come from a packet….

Roasted Red Pepper Dip | Cooking In Stilettos

It’s been a chip and dip week around Casa Stiletto. When I was asked to try the new Veggie Snacks from Green Giant, I knew I had to come up with a killer dip that would compliment their flavors. Chips on their own are great but chips with dip – even better.

These Green Giant Veggie Snacks are so full of flavor and are a new favorite around the house. Plus – you know how I am about labels that I need a dictionary to decipher – thankfully, these chips don’t need Sheldon Cooper to translate. Final determination – these Green Giant Veggie Snacks will be taking place of the chip that starts with a “D” that has been evicted from my pantry permanently.
