This Easy Watermelon Margarita is literally my favorite pool-side drink. Super fast to make, fantastic and basically a girl's best friend, this frozen watermelon margarita is 5-minutes to awesome. I'm going to be honest, when I had my very first watermelon margarita, I was not impressed. Overly sweet and just kind of non-watermeloney. Clearly, the person who made it for me (who shall remain nameless) was just not working with the right tools (meaning: the most perfect watermelon ever) and they tried to make up for it by adding some sugar and it was just a disaster. Not this easy … [Read more...]
S’mores Cupcakes
When the kids asked for a campfire (in the backyard) and S'mores Cupcakes using those big puppy eyes, who was I to refuse? They're just so cute--the cupcakes AND the kids. It's not every evening that we have a little fire in our backyard fire pit. But, sometimes, on those awesome spring evenings, well, it's just nice to step out there. But, my kids have been doing this new thing--they want multiple marshmallows toasted at the same time. I had to get creative to do this, y'all. And, the trick is: I don't actually do it on the campfire. I just let the kids make the … [Read more...]
Orange Creamsicle Margarita
I'm going to be honest, of all the frozen margaritas I've ever made, this Orange Creamsicle Margarita is absolutely my favorite. It's smooth, creamy and just like an Orange Julius!

LOL! But when I pulled together this Orange Creamsicle Margarita, well, all bets were off. It's amazingly creamy and so smooth. I can't wait for an excuse to make another round! What You Need to Make … [Read more...]
The Best Coconut Lime Margarita Recipe
I love the song "I put the lime in da coconut and shake it all up" mostly because of pop-culture references. But when I came up with the Coconut Lime Margarita, well, the song made so much more sense! So creamy and refreshing, this coconut and lime frozen margarita recipe is killer-good! I'll be really honest, I had no idea what the heck that song was talking about--putting the lime in the coconut and shaking it up...just didn't sound like a fantastic combo to me. I should have known better. It's really yummy--and totally a new flavor, I never would have put together on my … [Read more...]
Adorable (and Easy) Disney Princess Moana Cupcakes
When I set out to make these Disney Princess Moana Cupcakes, I didn't realize how adorable--and easy they'd turn out to be. I love the look--and the best part is that the kids ADORED them. Bonus: they're so freaking tasty, we ate them all in one day. Is that really a bonus though?! Disney Princess Moana Cupcakes The kids are absolutely obsessed with Moana--and her friends Maui and Hei Hei. There's just something about that chicken. So, when I set out to make a Heart of Te Fiti cupcake, well, I knew I needed to bring some of that to life. Hei Hei was a little out of my range of … [Read more...]

And, because it's so easy to make, I can literally be relaxing-ready in just a few minutes! What You Need … [Read more...]
