I grew up in Arizona and love Tex-Mex food. And there is this salsa chicken I make frequently that might be the easiest thing ever (recipe coming soon). So the plan for my birthday party was to make chicken tacos. But I figured people would also want some beef. I was trying to figure out […]
National Dance Day is coming up, y’all! As the “So You Think You Can Dance” viewers among us know, it is July 31. And hip-hop choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon (aka Nappytabs) have created a dance you can learn if you want to participate but need some direction. Or you can just do the running man […]
I was getting a facial today (courtesy of my mother-in-law! Thanks!) and I was thinking about eye cream. I have been wearing eye cream for few years now… maybe five? I can’t really remember. But finding a good one is not easy. I have tried numerous drug store brands, but I hated all of them. […]
Sorry I have been a bit MIA! But, luckily for you it was my 30th birthday this weekend, which means tons of food and, of course, strawberry funfetti cupcakes. I love pink, I love rainbow sprinkles and I love strawberries. Plus it was an 80s party. So strawberry funfetti cupcakes were kind of a no-brainer. […]
My husband loves cherries. And as I may have mentioned, he told me that his only request for a Fourth of July dessert was that the secret ingredient be cherries. I did the cherries on a cloud, of course, but I had also purchased a big bag of fresh cherries. I could make a pie, […]
Pretty much every time I go to the grocery store, I see the bananas and think, “Maybe if I get these bananas, I will eat one of those for breakfast instead of a monster cookie.” Then I buy them, and the following happens: There are many things you can do with brown bananas. Banana-coconut muffins […]
My brother calls beer “liquid bread.” So I guess you could call these “bread biscuits.” But that just doesn’t have the same ring to it. We are always stocked up on beer in the EatSwimShop house, courtesy of our Heineken mini-keg and the Beer of the Month club. The specimen above is from the ATL […]
OMG. I was just reading a very serious and important story in the Baltimore Sun… and then I saw this. Duff Goldman, of “Ace of Cakes” fame, now has a line of cake-making supplies. Truthfully, some of them sound a little shady. And I wish the website had some ingredients listed so I could decide […]
This dessert is amazing. It doesn’t take a ton of actual work, but you do have to start making it about 24 hours before you want to serve it. And it is soooo worth it. Imagine cherry pie filling floating on a magical cloud of meringue, whipped cream and marshmallows. If you love sugar (and […]
Since I am old and don’t have any kids, I was unaware of the Silly Bandz trend until recently. I saw them advertised on a sign at a shopping center last week, and then some friends of ours came to visit with their 11-year-old daughter. In case you are as out-of-the-loop as I was, Silly […]
