Sangria Popsicles
So there’s this trend out there right now where people turn their favorite boozy concoctions into popsicles and stuff. I’m not really one to follow trends just because they’re popular (the elementary school lesson of “What is right is not always popular; what is popular is not always right,” YOU GUYS)… but this trend? It is so, so right. And in these waning summer days (sniffle), I’m not about to let this fad go down without a few... Read More ›

Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream Cake with Butterscotch Sauce
Everyone needs a showstopper dessert up their sleeve – something that prompts an audible gasp from the crowd when it hits the table. My Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream Cake with Butterscotch Sauce is that dessert. It is ridiculous how easy both the cake and the sauce are. Can you mix? Then you can do this. The cold ice cream cake is smothered with warm butterscotch and it is heaven. The butterscotch starts to melt the ice cream and makes a gooey m... Read More ›

Pretzel-Caramel Ice Cream Sandwiches

Pretzel-Caramel Ice Cream Sandwiches
Salted caramel is all the rage these days. I was eating a soft pretzel in Philly recently (the best place to eat a soft pretzel) when it occurred to me that the salty, dense bread would go really well with caramel. Because I’m an ice cream fanatic, the first thought was to sandwich some nice caramel swirl ice cream in between a sliced pretzel. The thing is, the holes in store bought pretzels are way too large for this to work. I had to take... Read More ›

Broken Lasagna with Summer Vegetables
Sometimes, the stars align, the laundry is done, my hair looks just right and I don’t have anything stuck in my teeth… and I can make a decent pasta dish. I know you think I’m kidding, right? But seriously – I have a knack for totally ruining what should be the easiest dinner in existence (well, besides cereal). There’s either too much pasta sauce or not enough. The noodles are overcooked or hard as rocks. I’ve added too much cheese... Read More ›

Summer Panzanella Salad
When I finally have my first backyard garden, I’m going to build it around this Summer Panzanella Salad. You think I’m kidding. But when you take one bite of this unbelievable deliciousness – chock-full of fresh veggies like cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil tossed with bread, cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and magic – you’ll understand. It’s all I need in this world to make me happy (well, that and coffee).... Read More ›

Coconut Lime Pops for Grown Ups
There is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a popsicle. Remember being a kid and sitting on the porch and having your popsicle drip down your arms? That was the best. I make my kids homemade Popsicles all the time, but I decided that it was time to make a grown up version for the big kids in my life. My Coconut Lime Pops for Grown Ups are a boozy and delicious treat! I think that just about any cocktail would be amazing in po... Read More ›

How to Make Easy Summer Zucchini Dishes
Zucchini – also known as summer squash – abounds in the warmer months, so take advantage of the abundance with these awesome recipes. If you've got a summer squash plant that's sprouting fruit faster than you can say "tempura-battered zucchini blossoms," it may be time to do a little harvesting and head into the kitchen. Versatility is zucchini's best quality. You can batter and fry its blossoms, shred it up and make fritters, toss into a... Read More ›

S’mores Poke Cake
My family is a camping family. You know what I mean – we’ve been all over the country’s state parks, and we’ve got all the bells and whistles when it comes to camping gear to prove it: Percolator (for coffee, the Elixir of Life), chairs, stools, skewers, camping stove, grill top, lanterns, a lifetime supply of bug spray, a pop-up trailer that now only stays up by a 2-by-4 and very sloooooow, cautious steps inside… You get the idea....

Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls
You know how they say to eat a rainbow? Well not like, A rainbow, but the colors of a rainbow? On your plate? As in, your food? This is like that! But it's mostly the green part of a rainbow. And the orange part. And the clear part. Rainbows aren't clear, though. So this is like eating a glass house! But it's not glass. So it doesn't hurt to eat. But the noodles inside these are sometimes called glass noodles, SO it's like eating the glassy, ora... Read More ›
