American-Style Italian Soda
Every heart beats true 'neath the red, white and blue... George Cohan wrote that many moons ago, but this time of year we all take a page from his lyric notebook and trumpet the colors in creative ways.

Budget Tiki Party
When I was 11, I was fortunate enough to go to Hawaii with my family. The people were incredibly friendly and happy – wouldn’t you be if you were always greeted with a lei? The ocean views were magnificent, and a volcano just isn’t something you see every day.  When I was in the Aloha State, I was able to attend a real luau, and between the hula dancing and the tiki torches, I now feel totally qualified to give advice on throwing a tiki...

Fruit: The Ultimate Party Cup
Sangria, mojitos,and daiquiris are the drinks that sing summertime to me. Instead of serving up these warm-weather cocktails in a boring old glass (so last year!), take a visit to your farmer’s market or grocery store for party cup inspiration. The directions for these edible cups are easy enough: Simply chop off the top of the fruit, score a circle with a paring knife and scoop out the flesh. Don’t worry about it being too perfect—just ma... Read More ›
