Habanero Party Mix
Between football tailgating, Halloween, and Thanksgiving, you need spicy party mix and you need it right now. Unless you’re not into any of those things, in which case, this habanero party mix is still an awesome snack for binge watching The Walking Dead or whatever show you’re into right now.
Spicy Winter Harvest Salad
This marinated spicy salad is rather like the traditional Mexican Christmas Eve Salad and takes advantage of fall vegetables. Substitute celery for the jicama, add oranges or apples, and you have a lower-fat take on a Waldorf salad.

Grilled Garlic: Appetizer Crack

Grilled garlic is one of the easiest appetizers ever.
