Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

This appetizer is pure heaven. It looks fancy, glamorous and gourmet. It's incredibly easy and will definitely impress your guests! This is a recipe adapted by my lovely mom. She made these when I was at my parent's last week and I was suddenly addicted. Bookmark or pin this recipe for your next dinner party! Trust me!

Smoked Salmon Canapes

Ingredients:
1/2 of an 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt
24 slices party rye or pumpernickel bread, cut into triangles
12 ounces smoked salmon
48 very thin slices cucumber
Minced purple onion
Freshly ground pepper
Garnish: fresh dill

Beat first 5 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Separate salmon into thin slices and cut into slivers.

Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each piece of bread.Top with cucumber, a folded piece of salmon, a small dollop of the cream cheese and top with the minced red onion, freshly ground pepper and dill.


Your taste buds will thank you! This appetizer is surprisingly light and pairs well with a yummy Pinot Noir. If you're feeling crazy, you could top this with a little bit of caviar, or capers, but the above ingredients suit me (and my budget) just fine! Enjoy!!
