Chocolate chip cookie dough dip

We’ve all done it—eaten that raw cookie dough against health advisories. There’s something about cookie dough that is so comforting and satisfying. However, chocolate chip cookie dough dip is completely safe to eat raw, so you can forego the guilt and get to dipping.

Use graham crackers to dip or even pretzels for a great savory and sweet combination.

Chocolate covered strawberry “footballs”

Chocolate covered strawberries are a fan favorite for their delectable combination of tart and sweet. Best of all, they take only minutes to make. Melt chocolate, dip the strawberries, and put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden in the refrigerator.

Make this batch football-themed by melting white chocolate and drawing football laces on the cooled chocolate covered strawberries.

Chocolate covered potato chips

For the ultimate, mouthwatering salty and sweet combination, try out some chocolate covered potato chips at your Super Bowl party. They are super easy to make, and the super-salty taste of the potato chips compliments the sweetness of the chocolate so perfectly, your guests won’t be able to get enough of them.

You only need potato chips and melted chocolate for this sweet treat. Dip three-quarters of the chip into the melted chocolate and lay it on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool in the refrigerator.

Football cupcakes

You can’t go wrong with cupcakes. They are a staple on any dessert table and are adored by kids and adults alike. Grab your favorite cake mix and whip up a dozen cupcakes. Cover the tops with chocolate frosting and, using melted white chocolate, draw football laces on top of the frosting.

America’s favorite single-serving cakes are now the football-themed centerpiece of your dessert buffet.

Dessert pizza

This is a sweet and simple solution to your game day dessert needs. You only need sugar cookie dough, cream cheese, sugar, and fruit. Press the cookie dough into a baking dish in a single layer, so it looks like a pie crust, and bake for 18-20 minutes. Then combine cream cheese with sugar and layer it onto the cookie crust. Top off the “pizza” with your preferred fruit—our favorite is mixed berries—and serve.

Dessert nachos

The classic savory sports food can be impersonated on your dessert table in the form of dessert nachos. There are several ways you can pull off dessert nachos, but our favorite method starts with a cream cheese dip layered on the bottom of a serving dish. Once you’ve layered your cream cheese dip, organize sugar-coated pita chips so that they are sticking up from the dip. Then, sprinkle berries or even candies and chocolate chips over the top of the dip as your “nacho” toppings. Finish off the dish with a drizzle of melted white or milk chocolate for a delectable and sharable dessert your guests will swoon over.

Donut ice cream sandwiches

We’ve never met anyone who didn’t adore both donuts and ice cream, so why not combine them? This dessert is so indulgent; it’s hard to believe it’s so simple to make. All you’ll need is a batch of plain or glazed donuts, your favorite flavor of ice cream, and some sundae toppings to brighten up the final product.

First, do a bit of prepping by cutting the donuts length-wise. Once your party is in full swing and your guests are ready for dessert, lay the donut halves out and layer a scoop of ice cream on half of them. Cover the ice cream with the other half of the donut and decorate the sandwiches with sundae syrup, sprinkles, and whipped cream. Serve these babies immediately before the ice cream starts to melt!

How to Style a Coffee Table That Feels Collected, Not Cluttered
Plant, Furniture, Table

A well styled coffee table can make your formal living room stand out and should feel intentional, considered and appropriately arranged. The goal is balance, and it should support the room rather than compete with it.

Start with a foundation. Use one or two large books to ground the arrangement. Choose books with substantial covers that reflect the palette of the room, whether neutral or tonal, and complement the space. Stack them rather than spreading them out. This creates structure and gives everything else a place to sit.

Flowers From the Garden: A Summer Centerpiece Method
Flower, Flower Arrangement, Plant

A simple, season led approach to summer florals, built on what is in bloom rather than what is in stock.

There is a particular generosity to summer that no other season offers. The garden is full and the flower markets overflow. The roadside stands begin to set out buckets of zinnias and dahlias by mid June and July. The backyard, once an afterthought, begins to feel like an extension of the home itself. The question is no longer whether to bring flowers into the house, but how often.

The Easiest Way to Set the Table
Cutlery, Fork, Spoon

Have you ever wondered why the fork sits on the left and the knife on the right? Or why Europeans eat “Continental style,” holding the fork in their left hand and the knife in their right, while Americans cut, switch hands, and then eat? It turns out there’s a reason for all of it, and once you understand the history, setting the table suddenly feels far less mysterious. Before beautifully layered place settings and Pinterest-worthy tablescapes, dining was far more practical. Medieval feasts were less about etiquette and more about survival. Plates were often shared, forks were nonexistent, and eating with your hands was the normal standard. Tables were filled with trenchers (pieces of bread used as plates), and the idea of “proper placement” simply didn’t exist.

By the mid-to-late 1800s (around 1860–1870), European dining evolved again as meals began to be served in courses. This shift introduced what became known as the Russian style of dining, where utensils were laid out intentionally and used from the outside in. The fork stayed in the left hand, the knife in the right, and the table itself began to reflect structure, rhythm, and order. This approach eventually became the “Continental style” still used across much of Europe today.
