Even though we were up to our ears in waffles and peaches on Saturday, you know I couldn’t possibly have people over without making dessert. So what kind of dessert does one make for a breakfast-themed party? How about marshmallows with candied bacon in them? I can’t take credit for the brilliant idea of putting bacon inside […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you decked out in green? Is there corned beef and cabbage cooking in your slow cooker? Are you drinking Guinness for breakfast? I am wearing green, of course, but there will be no Irish food or beer in our house tonight (unless a leprechaun brings it here). But, I did […]
You can have your raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. My favorite things run more along the lines of cranberries, green apples, marshmallows and glitter. And this side dish has the first three. Plus sugar and Cool Whip. It’s basically perfect. If you read my old blog, you’ve seen this recipe before, and you […]
I know: Making your own marshmallows seems like something that only Martha Stewart, a Brooklyn hipster or someone whose blog is named “Marshmallows and Margaritas” would attempt. Who has time for that? But I promise you — cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye — that they are not […]
When I was in elementary school, my best friend Erica and I would sometimes bake things. Usually it was cookies, but one time we decided to make lemon meringue pie. We separated eggs, we whipped the whites with sugar… and then we realized that we hadn’t even looked at the filling part. So, we put […]
I’m a total sugar addict, so I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I’m enamored with marshmallows. That’s why I named this blog marshmallows and margaritas, after all — those are two of my favorite things. But I had only made my own marshmallows once before, at Christmas. Anyway, I figured I had to […]
I love Peeps. I’m sure that isn’t surprising, given that I love marshmallows, candy corn and Red Vines. My friend Aaren thinks Peeps are disgusting (I await her comments below) and gave me a super-cute Peep-bunny Easter basket one year because she said I was the only person on Earth who likes them. But she’s […]
I love reading The Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog and looking at all the fabulous photos. But I don’t actually make a ton of the things she posts, mainly because she likes a lot of things that I don’t like or can’t eat — like mushrooms (gross) and seafood (allergic). HOWEVER. As soon as I saw […]
Sorry that swimming post was depressing. Let’s try something a little more cheerful. As you may recall, I recently made PB&J bars for a Navy football tailgate (or tailgater, as they call it). The midshipmen thoroughly enjoyed them, and apparently asked if I was making them for the next home game. Unfortunately, I learned this […]
