This sweet homemade apple cider is lightly sweetened with maple syrup and is made totally from scratch - no apple juice here! Naturally gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free. Mr. T has been on an apple buying spree for the past two months.
The perfect glass of delicious on a cozy afternoon; cranberry and pineapple juice with a splash of vodka. This drink follows the classic cocktail principle of balancing strong alcohol with weak fruit juice. The drink originates in the 1920's but contained different ingredients -gin and grenadine.
This time of year I'm all about easy, fast no-bake desserts. This creamy orange creamsicle cheesecake certainly fits the bill! It comes together in less than 10 minutes and is a real crowd pleaser. Be sure to scroll down to see the video I put together on how to make it yourself!
Springtime is party time. Long sunny days and mild temperatures provide the perfect conditions for fun gatherings. It seems like any excuse is a good excuse to throw a party and invite friends and family over. In NYC, especially among "youngsters", it's all about rooftop parties (and neighbours complaining about noise).
There is nothing better for dessert than a good old vanilla pudding made from scratch with real vanilla beans. And once you realize how quick and easy it is you never go back to store-bought pudding! It only takes 10 minutes and 5 ingredients.
One pan, 30 minute Sticky Thai Peanut Orange Chicken baked in one of my favorite sweet, salty, savory, spicy sauces ever. You are going to fall in love with the flavors and ease of this dish! I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! Once Easter hits I feel like summer is here...
January is the land of resolutions and good intentions, so I thought I would start off the month with a recipe that is relatively guilt-free. I have become a huge fan of panna cottas for entertaining. They are ridiculously easy to make and can be prepared hours (or days!) in advance.
I walked into our bedroom yesterday to find Eric going through the drawer of his nightstand. He had already dumped everything out and was starting to refill it with "keeper" items: a giant rusty screw a company directory for his old job a giant cord that he admittedly has no idea what its for broken watch a giant ziplock bag containing a catch-all dish (grape-bunch-shaped), a Mexican peso, and a decade-old cough drop.
One of the things that I miss most about being home in Kansas is my Grammy's porch suppers on the Fourth of July. We rub extra butter on our corn on the cob, consume far too many ribs, and always end with a special, festive, homemade dessert like these Red White and Blueberry Cheesecake Bars.
A ridiculously easy caramel corn recipe made in the microwave! This crisp, flavorful caramel popcorn recipe makes fabulous nostalgic holiday gifts. Remember the can of caramel popcorn that always showed up around the holidays? You know, that big canister of seasoned popcorn with caramel corn, cheesy popcorn, and buttered popcorn brimming the top of the can?
