All Fantasy, No Football: Week 2
Are you super stoked for the big game this weekend? Me neither. Channel your inner Icebox. We'll get through this together. 1) Don't be afraid of getting a little cheesy. I recently told a male friend that there were only two ways I would watch sports with him: 1) nachos, and 2) wine. I think that's fair. Nachos are basically my favorite food group. I once missed an entire third quarter of a basketball game, because I was so engrossed in... Read More ›

Catch of the Day: Fishbowl Punch
I’ve had my eye on this cute fishbowl recipe for some time. I first noticed it on Pinterest, and followed the link to Maxim magazine. The cocktail is basically a slightly-altered Blue Hawaiian -  in a fish bowl, with candy. And I am 100% in favor of that. What’s more fun than a giant, yummy, candy-filled drink with a whole lotta straws? Also love that it’s super easy, can be made (mostly) ahead of time, and has enough of a visual impac... Read More ›

Let the Games Begin!
If you're going all out to celebrate this year's summer games, give your guests a nosh fit for a queen. Planning an opening ceremony party for this weekend? We know every decent American's loyalty lies with the good ol' U.S. of A., but the red-white-and-blue theme is a little played out, considering some of us are still recovering from our Fourth of July hangovers.

The rules for beverage temperatures go beyond serving red wine warm and white wine cold. If your taste in beer and wine has graduated from light brewskis and cheap vino to more complex microbrews and $20 bottles, you may want to brush up on how to chill your bevys in order to get the best flavor. Mini temperature-controlled wine cellars are pretty common these days, and they may be the easiest way to ensure a properly chilled drink. But if it... Read More ›
