Easter Egg Cream!

Turning chocolate bunnies into an Easter Egg Cream is more than just delicious, it's the most hilarious recipe you'll make all year (cue melting bunny video). But seriously, this twist on a soda shop classic is my favorite Easter dessert...

3-Ingredient Saucy Southern Iced Tea!

Real talk: I hate serving cocktails you have to measure during the summer. I want a drink I can eyeball, stir up in one pitcher and easily refresh without having to leave my lounge chair. That's why this 3-Ingredient Saucy Southern Iced Tea is my new go-to for summer sipping and it should be yours, too...

Here's something to get your Saturday night going: Celery Gimlets! Friends came over for happy hour yesterday and I whipped up this drink as an experiment. Turns out the sweet-and-slightly-savory combo of fresh celery juice, gin and elderflower liqueur makes for a highly refreshing treat!

Easy Entertaining: Slow-Cooker Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate—LOVE!

Kitchen Cure: DIY Sweet Corn Silk Tea For Aches & Pains—Drink Up!

Aches and pains have been on my brain lately and I wonder if we could chat about it for a second (in a food-related way, promise)! You see, I'm a runner but long story short, I've worn down the cartilage in my lower-back despite my young age and apparently I'm supposed to quit it. Forgive me this sob story (it's been a frustrating few days) but I'm getting to the recipe, I swear...

Breakfast Basics: Cucumber-Melon Breakfast Cooler, So Refreshing!

Good morning! Remember when I shared my at-home breakfast plan with you? The goal was to entice myself with yummy smoothies so I'd eat breakfast at home before work (instead of leftover turkey and pumpkin pie in the test kitchen). Welp, if you're wondering how it's going, here's a recipe for the Cucumber-Melon Breakfast Cooler I whizzed up this morning. This is not green juice. Instead it's a super-simple mixture of cucumber, honeydew, lime juice and a little sweetness (all of my faves)! Here's how you make it...

CUCUMBER-MELON BREAKFAST COOLER

SERVES: 2

2 cups sliced English cucumber (skin on)

2 to 3 cups cubed honeydew melon

2 cups ice

1/4 cup water

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons simple syrup

Put the cucumber, honeydew, ice, water, lime juice and simple syrup in a blender and blend until smooth. Divide among chilled glasses. 

Note! If you’d like your drink a little sweeter, replace the water with store-bought lemonade.
