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….

We are nearing the end of #BrunchWeek and y’all know I had to bring something a bit indulgent to the brunch table, right? Recently, when I was perusing a new cookbook that is all about America’s Best Breakfasts, I happened on a recipe for a Cannoli French Toast that got my attention. It was based on a South Philly restaurant recipe and, of course, when one thinks of South Philly, well, you know we had to go with the cannoli, right?…
