Oh my! Mile High Turtle Pie
I love a good ice cream pie and this one doesnʼt disappoint! Mile High Turtle Pie is rich, creamy and just darn tasty. It consists of three layers of dulce de leche ice cream and chocolate ice cream, with caramel and chopped pecans in between all of the layers , then all on top of a chocolate cookie crust. Before serving, add a giant layer of whipped cream, drizzle with caramel and sprinkle on a few more pecans. This ice cream pie i... Read More

All Fantasy, No Football: Week 8
Beer me that remote! As promised last week, I made an effort to "enjoy" the games. You know what? I totally did! The Seattle vs. Washington game was a killer! Whoever that player was on the Redskins that was trying to get into a fight with someone on the Seahawks, I would like to give him my number. Holla atta lady! One thing that has become obvious is that beer and football are soul mates. They are the type of couple that eat dinner at a res... Read More

Vodka + Root Beer = Voot Beer

Vodka + Root Beer = Voot Beer
Voot beer? Iʼve mixed Bacardi and soda, flavored vodka and club soda and many other delicious combinations, but this was my first time making a voot beer and the results were, well voot-a-licious! A voot beer is a vodka and root beer combo. You add a generous amount of whipped cream to the top and garnish it with a cherry. If you like root beer, you will totally enjoy this spiked concoction. I personally liked it when I mixed the whipped c... Read More

8 Ways to Make a Skinny Cocktail
It’s easy to chalk up those extra pounds to too much pizza or all those fries, but what’s in your glass can also pack on the pounds. It’s a new year, and you know what that means: time to focus on losing that holiday weight. A single margarita can contain almost 600 calories, and do you ever really have just one?

All Fantasy, No Football: Week 7
I'm going to be honest. I'm starting to have a little soft spot for football. It's like when you're a kid and your mom makes you repeatedly eat something you don't like. Eventually, you'll develop a taste for it. The athletic eye candy. The tension in the air. The party atmosphere. A reason to get together with friends. Trust me, I still have NO IDEA what's happening on the field, but at least I'm trying, right? This 3-year old gets it, fo... Read More

With New Year's Eve around the corner, I have two things: a lot of champagne and 2013 resolution. Football can help with both of these. 1) Get body inspired. These athletes have amazing bodies! Sure, I don't want arms the size of a building's support beam, but I would like to carry my groceries in the house without stopping nine times. And can I just get a "Hey boys!!!!!" on this. They should show more shirtless football games...in my opinion... Read More

Adorbs! Cotton Candy Cocktail

Adorbs! Cotton Candy Cocktail
I just adore this drink! It actually tastes like cotton candy, but itʼs refreshing at the same time! Itʼs also one of the easiest cocktail recipes Iʼve ever made and the presentation is just as fun as the actual cocktail itself! I like the idea of placing several glasses filled with fluffy cotton candy (use a variety of colors) on a tray. Next to it place the bottle of Perrier, marshmallow vodka and a bucket of ice. That way your guests ca... Read More
