Corn fritters are at the top of my favorite foods list. They are the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors with a crispy exterior. The only thing that can make them better is adding some Elote flare. Mexican street corn or Elote is an iconic treat that takes grilled corn to the next level. Elote is typically coated in savory layers of flavor like, tangy sour cream or mayonnaise, cilantro, cotija cheese, chili powder and lime. You know I’m a sweet and savory flavor girly! Sweet corn mixed with savory flavors like chili or chipotle immediately makes my mouth water! Combining corn ..read more

  What is more classic than a Rice Krispy Treat? I grew up enjoying them and still to this day they stand as one of the best (and easiest) treats to whip up when you have a sugar craving. That is if you like chewy, crispy, marshmallow goodness. However, we are rethinking this iconic treat today and adding a salted caramel flavor. Now, my mind and tastebuds are forever changed! When I say I’m never making regular Rice Krispy Treats again, I MEAN IT! These are ten times better and will leave you stunned in the best way possible. They aren’t much more work than their slightly boring older si ..read more

  You most likely know that one of my favorite flavor combinations is sweet + spicy! I love a good spicy flavor that has a sweet side to it, especially when it comes to snacks. Sweet + spicy makes for the most satisfying snack and truthfully, what is better than popcorn. When I think of the perfect snack to enjoy while movie watching or hanging out with friends my mind goes straight to popcorn. Mix that ultimate snack with something sweet + spicy and you’ve landed on a match made in Heaven. Lately I’ve been obsessed with gochujang which is a sweet and spicy red chili paste. It goes great ..read more

  There are few things I love more than a good pastry. If I had to rank them I’d say Morning Buns, Croissants and Cheese Danish are my ultimate favorites. Since we are right in the middle of Fall and pumpkin flavored anything makes me happy, I baked up some Pumpkin Cheese Danish! Using store bought puff pastry keeps this recipe simple! Which we all love. You could also assemble them all and freeze them to bake at a later time. And to all my Pumpkin Haters … You can make these! Just omit the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice from the recipe and you’ve got yourself a Classic Cheese Danish! I’m ..read more

  While I do enjoy a wide array of various cocktails, the Aperol Spritz fits secure within my top three favorites. Of course it is known as a vibrant Summer beverage, with its bright, bubbly color and subtle notes of citrus. However, the Aperol Spritz can most definitely be enjoyed year round! It is most notably served in a large wine glass and fairly easy to mix up. If you ever find yourself at my home, I have Aperol Spritz ingredients at the ready. But, let me show you just how simple this slightly sweet, slightly bitter, effervescent cocktail can be made at your house. Some either love ..read more

  It is no surprise around here that cookies are my absolute favorite. There are tons of cookie recipes featured on my website and if I had to choose one dessert to endlessly devour … it would be cookies. Warm, chewy, cookies that are packed with chocolate and candies! You get the idea. A few weeks ago I shared a quick video on Instagram that I was working on a s’mores cookie and so many of you requested the recipe. You’ve all been patiently waiting, like Maya in the photo below, for these S’mores Cookies! So, I’ll stop talking and let you have at ‘em! Simple S’mores Cookies    ..read more

  If I had to absolutely choose a favorite cocktail it would definitely have tequila and incorporate sweet + spicy flavors. Ironically, I’m not watermelons biggest fan. HOWEVER, give me a watermelon cocktail and suddenly I can take down the fruit like I’ve loved it all my life! Friends, my Watermelon Candy Cocktail has entered the chat! This cocktail screams Summer but also could be enjoyed year round. The candy notes come from the watermelon flavored liqueur, the spice comes from the Tajin rim. Of course it’s hard for me to make a cocktail with out Topo Chico … Listen if you like waterme ..read more

  With back to school season breathing down my back, I’m trying to figure out what to have on hand that will make my life a bit easier. Last year Mila started Kindergarten and it was my first experience with a real deal school season. It threw me for a loop and I’m pretty sure I was craving Summer break more than Mila come the end of the year. This year though I know what to expect. I am positive our mornings will still be chaotic. But one thing that truly helps are fast morning meals + snacks we can all eat on the go as we fly out the front door. These Cheerios bites only take four ingre ..read more

  As you know, I’m a big fan of an afternoon coffee or tea. Ever since I was a little girl I remember my grandparents stopping life in the afternoon to enjoy a cup of coffee and pastry. I always got excited because it meant I’d get a little pastry myself. Now that I’m an adult I completely understand why the adults in my life took a daily afternoon break! THEY NEEDED IT! I look forward to my afternoon coffee or tea everyday! It nearly acts as my reward for getting through the first half of my day. As well as fuels me for the rest of the day. I also love getting creative with my afternoon ..read more
