This recipe definitely comes in handy during the holidays and people LOVE this version. Mashed potatoes can be a bit of a pain because of all the peeling, ricing, and/or stand-up mixers involved, but my recipe calls for none of those and if you just throw them in a crock pot on warm you can get them done early.

Okay…..this light, airy candy might be my favorite dessert that ever existed. And with crushed candy canes sprinkled on top, it makes the perfect holiday gift. Sweet, crispy, delicious! No one will be disappointed with this one.
I recently signed up to have fresh seasonal produce delivered to my door every two weeks and had to share about it. You can choose combos like all fruit, fruit and veggie mix, or my choice this time: all veggie.
This might sound silly because it’s so easy, but people really do love these things… and when you’re putting together a meal for many, cutting a few corners in certain areas is the only way to make it out alive in my opinion! Perfect for holiday parties including the big one tomorrow.
Spaghetti squash is an item I have never really had the desire to cook in the past. This is because I was always under the impression that it was boring and mushy. Well, I did a little experiment and discovered that it just might be one of my favorite vegetables now! I treated it like actual pasta and the results were amazing. Best part is that its healthy too! Seriously, if spaghetti squash was on your ‘ehh’ list, I promise this recipe will take it off.
This is the ultimate bloody mary because almost all of the components are hand crafted. I use my homemade celery salt, pickled green beans and their pickling juice, AND my infused vodka. This one’s a winner folks.
This drink is simply a Moscow Mule with a twist. Traditionally, a Moscow Mule is vodka, ginger beer, lemon or lime, and some mint served in a copper mug. MY version uses my homemade grapefruit and basil infused vodka and takes this thing to a whole new level. This is the kind of drink I would pay big bucks for at a restaurant… but better AND way less expensive.
This zesty infused vodka is super unique. It works best in drinks on the more savory side, like martinis and bloody marys. *Ultimate bloody mary recipe coming soon!
This first infused vodka makes any drink vibrant and fun. It is a snap to put together… the only hard part is waiting for it to infuse after that! These flavorful vodkas are great because you get to decide what goes in!
I LOVE artichokes, and living in California makes it pretty easy to eat them year round. The only thing that stops me is the CRAZY effort I have to go through to get one prepped and cooked… Cutting, trimming, steaming, making sure to replenish water to the pan during steaming to prevent burning your pan, removing hot…wet…flimsy artichokes from a crazy-hot pot, and THEN finally adding whatever dressing/flavors I wanted… AND sometimes I’d take it one step further and grill the little jerks (which of course tastes great).
Well, here’s the end of fussing over artichokes! This is, in my opinion, a much less labor intensive way of getting these guys cooked and tastes better too! Not to mention way easier clean up.
