With life so busy right now with the end of the school year, along with prepping for their visit, I need to simplify the birthday party planning. Here are a few things that make planning a kid’s birthday party easier…
We are so ready for summer – backyard BBQs, swimming, lake time, vacations, hiking, the list goes on and on. We love to entertain during the summer. What better way to host friends for a BBQ than with a perfect summer cocktail. This Spicy Paloma cocktail recipe screams summer with freshly squeezed grapefruit, limes, and…
I tend to be a purist when it comes to margaritas, but when I saw all the Cara Cara oranges at the market the other day, I knew I needed to give a new twist to my margarita recipe. This recipe is low on sugar, high on fresh citrus, which in my opinion, makes for…

When I think of Christmas, one of the first things I think of is this classic gingerbread cake. It’s been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. I can still remember the first time I tried it as a little kid. My mom always serves it with warm lemon sauce, but I’ve…
Apples and fall just go together, don’t they? Every October, I make these amazing and healthy homemade baked apple chips. It’s a healthy fall snack for the whole family since there’s no added sugar. I prefer naturally sweet apple varieties like Honey Crisp or Pink Lady for my baked apple chip recipe. The girls love…
