Homemade Real Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

So today I'm going to share my recipe for real mint chocolate chip ice cream with you, but before I do, I'm going to spend at least 500 words just telling you a story. I WISH I could just share the recipe and move the eff on with my day but the Google gods insist that I blather on endlessly about my mundane life in order to get this ice cream for "real mint chocolate chip ice cream" (keyword alert) into the search engine. I don't make the rules people, I just follow them. So here we go. …

Lime Margarita Freezies

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

I'm going to save your life with Lime Margarita Freezies. Yes. These are just like Mr. Freezies, but with margaritas inside of them. (Yes. Tequila is included.) Margaritas are awesome, but you know what sucks? Making margaritas.  I know; it's not rocket surgery. But keeping around the materials, to have ice on hand, to whip out the blender... that's a pain in the arse. And sure, there's these handy little frozen cans of the mix. But if you're going to use one of those, …

Adult-Only Mocha Baileys Fudge Pop Recipe

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

If you're hot, and if you like fudgsicles or iced caps, then I've got just the thing for you: My adult-only Mocha Baileys Fudge Pop Recipe. This poor little bottle of Baileys I had was sitting all forlorn like in my liquor cabinet. Usually it's waiting for winter because the only thing I ever tend to use it in is a coffee drink. Coffee drinks, of course, do not make the ideal hot summer drink (and it's supposed to be hot AF this weekend in Ontario!). After I spotted the Baileys, I …

Four Freezer Friendly Chicken Marinades You’ll Love

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

I can't tell you how happy I am that I made up a huge batch of these freezer friendly chicken marinades back in May. This summer has been a bit of a pisser to say the least. It has been raining pretty much non-stop since June and there's no sign of it letting up. Needless to say, when the sun makes a brief and glorious appearance, I want to be outside enjoying it, not stuck in my kitchen preparing a meal.  I'm a big believer in planning ahead for meals to save sanity (you should …

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

By //  by Kelly Given Williams 1 Comment

I love Christmastime and all the feel good giving, time with family, and parties with great food. Oh, the food *wipes drool and loosens belt in preparation for some epicurean debauchery*. This is the time of year that people bring out their best party recipes or their personal food treasures and share amongst their friends. I’m not the bravest party goer who will try one of everything on the buffet table - unless it’s the sweets table because "yes" to everything with sugar and butter as the …
