A Moscow mule with mint and champagne is a refreshing and clean-tasting twist on the copper mug cocktail! I honestly don't know many people who will say that champagne is their drink of choice. I have to, but it's not my favorite. What I do love, is when champagne is mixed into other beverages like mimosas or champagne blueberry mojitos. The bubbly in the Champagne seems to enhance whatever it is mixed with and whatever it is mixed with … Continue reading →
Ranch spiced Buffalo sauce gently covers meatballs in this easy crockpot meal! These meatball subs make an excellent quick weeknight meal or fun game-day grub! Last week, I went to the grocery store every single day leading up all the way to Christmas day. It was ridiculous. I don't know how I managed to forget items or change so many plans, but I did. There was so much to coordinate between bringing appetizers to parties, making cookies for … Continue reading →

Pomegranate juice is deliciously festive and looks gorgeous in this easy gin fizz! There are many different kinds of drinkers in the world. Some only drink craft beer, some only cheap beer.

This three layered buckeye bark chocolate fudge features the classic peanut butter and chocolate combination reminiscent of a buckeye ball! I just saw a Wal-Mart commercial that completely sums up how I am feeling right this minute.

That is exactly how I feel today; I need one … Continue reading →

The swirled mint candy and chocolate frosting transform these from ordinary brownies to a drool-worthy dessert! I really do share the belief that good things come in small packages.

I have such bad memories of my mom's cheesecakes from my childhood, it has taken me this long to get up the nerve to bake up my own cheesecakes. My mom's cheesecakes were … Continue reading →

Toasted bread slices get slathered with an easy to make whipped feta topping and delicious roasted veggies! I go through phases with my favorite appetizers. A few years ago I was all about this Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip. This dip traveled with me to so many parties, BBQ's, dinners and potlucks. It is easy and pleases almost every taste. But then I got bored with it, and I switched to a new appetizer. My next loved appetizer was these … Continue reading →
This decadent chocolate cake has a hint of mint in the batter but what makes this a cool mint chocolate cake stand out, is the creamy, fluffy frosting! I don't often make a showpiece kind of dessert for the holidays. Typically I make cookies, like these caramel crinkle cookies or these buckeye brownie cookies and sometimes I even a tiramisu recipe, but rarely do I make a cake or a pie. I do this because over the years I have found that after … Continue reading →
