I grew up on Eggo waffles. They are quick, easy and all you have to do is pop them in the toaster. It’s great. I can understand the appeal of buying frozen waffles because not everyone owns a waffle iron but frozen pancakes? Yes, they sell those too!

This got me thinking:  is it actually worth buying frozen pancakes that you pop in a toaster instead of making them yourself? I can understand...

Since the new year started, I've been making a concerned effort to treat my body better by eating healthier and exercising regularly. As anyone who's tried to get fit will tell you, it isn't easy but when you start to see your desired results, it's totally worth it. 

One of my biggest issues I've had while trying to stick to a healthy diet is: what can I eat for snacks...

Summer doesn't officially start for me until Starbucks starts to advertise their delicious cold coffees. That's when I know that a wave of sunshine and warm weather is about to hit! Nothing says summer, like a day at the beach with an iced coffee. You may not realize it, but cold coffees are very easy to make yourself and taste just as good. Or, in this case, even better. 

That's...

You know when you take two equally awesome things and you put them together and the result is something even awesomer? Kind of like the power couple that is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Well, in this case, Angelina is Jolly Ranchers and Brad is Vodka. Have I peaked your curiosity? 

I've heard a lot about infusing vodka with candy, but I was always apprehensive about trying it out....

Before we get into this recipe I need to tell you, I am super, duper excited about this one. And I only use the term "super duper" when I am seriously pumped up about something so you know this one is going to be good. 

I came across the idea for a marshmallow milkshake over here and I immediately dropped everything I was doing and ran out to the grocery store to buy all the necessities. I...

If there are two things you need to know about me and my cooking, it's that: 1. Breakfast is the best meal of the day and 2. I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to cooking for one. 

That's why I was so happy to come across this genius idea called breakfast pizza. It's quick, easy and has minimal preparation required. Plus it combines all the taste of pizza with the deliciousness...

The only thing better than a margarita in the spring or summer months, is a margarita in a jar. My reasons are threefold; reason 1: It's in a jar, so it's fun. Reason 2: They can be prepped ahead of time, put in freezer and are ready to go when you need them. Reason 3: You can say it's a 'jargarita'. 

I stumbled upon this 'jargarita' recipe on this blog and I when I...

Sangria is one of the best summer drinks. Ever. In the history of the world. I challenge anyone who says otherwise to a sangria drink off. My theory on why sangria is so delicious is such: it contains everything awesome in the world in one drink. There's wine, fruit juices, fresh fruits, sugar and sparkling sodas. Have you ever drank a pitcher on a hot, sunny day? That right there, is pure...

This past Easter weekend, the sun was shining and I was feeling the spring weather. My family gathered together for our traditional Easter dinner and my mother, who is not usually the Martha Stewart type (unless she is reading this, which in that case I have to say that Martha Stewart actually calls her for advice), made these fabulous sour cherry and processo cocktails for everyone. It was the...

Chocolate Caramel Cocktail
This is a naughty Easter(ish) drink I invented.  Since the kiddies are going to be eating lots of chocolate this weekend, there should be something for the adults too.  It was inspired by the Cottontail Punch in the Spring 2012 issue of Food and Drink (p.127),  but that one called for butterscotch liqueur, which I don't like and there wasn't any chocolate. ...
