Let's stroll down the memory lane of my childhood today. Last week, I made the kids a sweet sampling of Shirley Temples in fancy glasses (of course). Perfectly pink and pretty, I realized they would make a fantastic holiday treat and they brought back a lot of sweet childhood memories. All you need is a few simple ingredients to celebrate Valentine's Day with a classic drink!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a Classic Drink!
A Simple Crab Artichoke Dip
Feeling crabby? How about artichoke-y? Well then, have I the recipe for you! I was browsing dip recipes for the New Year and came across several that I've added to my little list of "I'm going to make these someday" list. Do you have one of those? January always leaves me feeling motivated to try new things - recipes, projects, states of mind, coffee, wine....whatever. This is a recipe for a simple crab artichoke dip that I can cross off that list because I actually mixed it up (woot, woot)! ... VIEW POST
Marble Butter Fudge in Three Easy Steps
I had you at fudge, didn't I? I stumbled upon this recipe late one night when I was craving a heaping pan of fudge-y goodness but didn't have the ingredients to make a "proper" fudge...or so I thought.

Brew A Batch of Bewitching Popcorn Balls: It’s Crunch Time!
Raise your hand if you're absolutely psyched to sink your teeth into sugar-infused gooey popcorn balls and probably break off a tooth in the process?! Anyone? Anyone at all? Alright, I have to admit that my attitude towards popcorn balls has never been one of enthusiasm. That's only because I've had a few run ins with terrible popcorn balls. You know the ones - sure, they look mouthwateringly delicious on the outside but once your bite in? Either they're so hard that you breaking off a piece is ... VIEW POST
A Simple Chicken Pot Pie
There's nothing quite as comforting as a hot-from-the-oven chicken pot pie, am I right? To be honest, I never truly appreciated just how good this classic dish is for the soul until I made it after a week of being down with a bad cold. The warm and savory flavors mesh together so perfectly that it is next to impossible not to feel better after sampling a spoonful (or forkful). Which begs the question, do you eat chicken pot pie with a fork or a spoon?? Let's debate...after I share the ins and ... VIEW POST
Cocktail Time – Pour Yourself A Cup of Hot Pumpkin Pie!
Pumpkins here, pumpkins there, pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere! You can't escape the allure of pumpkin these days and really, would you want to if you could escape it (just shake your head and pretend you're absolutely head over heels, gaga in love with pumpkin for the next five minutes, okay)?? Honestly, with a little cinnamon and nutmeg atop a dollop of whipped cream, how could you possibly resist a slice of pumpkin pie goodness? Now, take all of that and turn it into a cocktail and BAM, mind ... VIEW POST
