A pan full of red white and blue berry crumb bars

Hey guys! Hope you all are having a great start to summer! We’ve been busy planning a Disney trip and getting ready to have a garage sale. Now that we’re settled for a good long while, I’m so excited to finally get rid of our basement full of things we randomly hang on to “just in case we might need it at the next house.” Military fams, I know you feel me!

Another thing that started this summer off right was testing these super delish (not to mention patriotic!) berry jam crumb bars. I love everything about these bars. They’re fruity, buttery, cute as hell, and before the last one is even eaten, my kids are asking when we’ll be making another batch, which is a pretty big win in my book.

I also love that they’re one of those treats that you could also slide into breakfast because oats, right??

Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipe

June 3, 2022 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This easy Raspberry Vinaigrette recipe is perfect for summer! It’s quick, fresh, and crazy-delicious, plus its 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Happy summer, party people! And really, what tastes more summery than a fresh salad with a bright, berry-forward raspberry vinaigrette? Ok, maybe a pineapple margarita, but still, this vinaigrette is for sure pretty high on that list.

Somehow my kiddos have just two days left on the school calendar before I’ve got a sophomore and a 6th grader on my hands <- shit is wild, you guys.

Anyway, I’m always looking for legit salad ideas for summertime (read: not boring salad ideas – do not come at me with a chicken, ranch and grape tomato salad, I just won’t stand for it) and I’ve always loved a salad with some kind of protein (it’s great with chicken, shrimp, salmon, etc), greens, blue cheese, candied walnuts and a great raspberry vinaigrette. Gimme that big flavor, baby. ⇓⇓⇓

Fresh Pineapple Margarita with Mezcal

May 4, 2022 By Stephanie 2 Comments

This fresh pineapple margarita with mezcal is sweet, tropical and a little smoky and goes perfectly with all of your favorite Mexican-inspired food for Cinco de Mayo or any day! It’s also gluten-free, vegan, 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! So I truly planned to have this out to you sooner, but alas, here we are, the day before Cinco de Mayo (and this little blog’s 7-year birthday!), and I’m just now hitting you up with your annual margarita. Better late than never??

Here’s a little recap of our past celebratory margaritas for your imbibing pleasure:

I would like to take a second to thank you guys from the very bottom of my heart for reading and eating and drinking these recipes (and sharing and commenting and messaging! It means more than you will ever know). There have been many many ups and downs in these last seven years, but you guys are always a light that lifts me up. Thank you for that. ♥

Anyway, the good news is, even though I’m a little late, like most margs, this one is easy to whip up in a hurry. Even though this guy uses fresh pineapple, you can most likely get some already cut up and ready to go for you in the produce department – yay for grocery store progress!

And here’s some other good news… this margarita is a little different. In the bestest way.

This margarita uses smoky mezcal instead of traditional tequila. And an option Tajin rim, it’s so yum!

Zabaglione with Berries | Italian Custard Dessert

April 28, 2022 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

Zabaglione is a quick, 3-ingredient Italian custard-y dessert that’s absolutely incredible served over fresh summer fruit! Gluten-free, dairy-free, 21 Day Fix approved and includes Weight Watchers points!

Hey there, party people! With T minus 10 days until Mother’s Day, I wanted to bring you something sweet and fun and easy that would be an absolutely perfect addition to a brunch for mama. Oh, and did I mention pretty? I mean, look how pretty she is! ⇑⇑⇑

And this zabaglione is delish over fruit like this, but it’s also amazing with any and all of your breakfast faves like crepes, pancakes, waffles or French toast, so go nuts!

Let me also add that it’s super fast to make, too! I actually timed myself the last time that I made it and it took 7 minutes. 7 MINUTES!!

Plus, it’s easy to keep all of the ingredients on hand, so it’s the perfect last-minute dessert or fancy breakfast. I mean, you just can’t beat it.

Though you may still be wondering…

What exactly is zabaglione?

Zabaglione is a 3-ingredient (egg yolks, sugar, wine) Italian custard-y dessert that’s traditionally made with Marsala wine (not cooking Marsala!), but it can be made with any sweet wine you’ve got on hand.

You may actually be familiar with zabaglione without even realizing it because zabaglione made with rum or coffee liqueur is an integral part of tiramisu!

Classic Daiquiri Recipe

April 4, 2022 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This classic daiquiri recipe is an incredibly refreshing summer cocktail! Perfectly portioned for 21 Day Fix, it’s also Weight Watchers friendly, vegan and gluten-free!

Hey guys! So my last post was this crazy-good Italian vegetable soup with ricotta dumplings that screams “It’s spring, but I’m still cold!”, but we’re doing a little seasonal fast-forward this week because this classic daiquiri is all summer, baybeeeee!

I’ve been wanting to share this simple cocktail recipe with you guys because a) it’s perfect for the 21 Day Fix and b) I’m betting a lot of you (like me until pretty recently) didn’t know that it was even a thing that existed in the world because the only daiquiris we’d ever seen were fruity and frozen – not that there’s anything wrong with that!

But it’s the OG daiq, my friends, and in its simplicity lies something truly special.

It’s now legit one of my very favorite cocktails and I think you’re going to love it. It’s also barely a recipe with only 3 ingredients and no blender needed, so you can’t beat it.
