Mocha Malt Shakes are the answer to any malt lover’s craving. In our house, these are a new favorite. There’s not a thing with malt in it that my husband doesn’t love. From beer to Vimto, a sort of concentrated liquid Kool-Aid made from real juice (and found only in England and India), if it’s …
Frozen Treats
This refreshing Mojito Mocktail is just what the doctor ordered. The OB, that is! Boy, have I got a refreshing pregnancy hack for you! Now, I’ve never considered myself a “big” drinker. A glass of wine or two a week, a cocktail like this Classic St. Germain once a month, maybe. But since I’ve been …
Who’s ready for summer? See this girl, raising her hand right here? Yeah. I’m over being cold, I’m over taking a hot water bottle to bed like I’m 90, and I am definitely over looking at the chance of snow for the day. Sure, I’m a whiner, I’ll fully admit it. Some could say that …
I can’t believe Labor Day has come and gone. We’re in the Dog Days of Summer now. It’s still warm enough here on the East Coast that a cold drink, the deck, and a hunk of meat on the barbecue are an enjoyable experience. My seasonal recipe for Green Mountain Coffee this time around comes …
One of my fondest memories from last year’s Big Summer Potluck was standing in the kitchen, surveying the chaos of the Friday night party, when Colleen from Souffle Bombay flew by me with a big smile on her face and a little frozen jar of brilliance that she thrust into my hands as she walked …
Remember the other day when I said my niece and nephew no longer have high fructose corn syrup in their diets? Well, not so surprisingly, that makes ice pop purchasing kinda difficult. This summer has been a never ending parade of learning to read labels for my sister, and a whole lotta saying “No”. That …
Time for another Tex-Mex lesson! What’s a raspado? Quite simply, a snow cone. But raspados are different in that they have more exotic flavors. Some of the most popular in South Texas include Strawberry Horchata, Lechera (sweetened condensed milk), Watermelon, Tamarind, and Plum. But by far, my favorite? Prickly Pear and Lime. You can pretty …
Milisa from Miss In The Kitchen is one of those folks that just popped up on twitter one day as a suggestion, and made me smile every time I saw a tweet. She’s amazingly talented. Did you know she even had her own barbecue sauce business? She sent me a few bottles from the company …
When I was a kid, my dad was the king of two things: hamburgers and milkshakes. My dad could eat a hamburger for every meal of the day. And he could quite happily drink a vanilla milkshake every day too. (Not that my mother would ever let him.) The other day, James and I received …
One of the greatest things about having a blog is the ability to really come out and support someone or something you really believe in. I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Stern from What\’s Cooking With Kids last year at the BlogHer Food convention in San Francisco. We had quite the adventure in a stretch limo with about 12 other bloggers, something we\’re still laughing about! (And this is quite a dramatic story for another time.)
What I\’ve come to know about Michelle is that she has an all-encompassing passion for getting kids interested and enthused about good food that is good for you. This is a passion close to my own heart, as I wrote in my post about Food vs. Fauxd.
