Mason Jar Cocktails on Ice: Easy Make-Ahead Summer Party Drinks

Mason jar cocktails on ice are one of those simple entertaining ideas that still … Read More ...

Simple Canned Chicken Broth Popsicle for Your DOG

Sunflower Marshmallow Pops
I made these sunflower marshmallow pops (ages ago, by the way, though I saved them to post this summer when I’m in the midst of housing renovation craziness) similarly to the flower cake pops in Sugarlicious.

S’mores Shooters

Homemade Root Beer Sno-Cones
At least if you make your own syrups, you can sort of control the sugar intake? Maybe? (I type that thinking of my daughter’s most recent Cherry Sno-Cone on the boardwalk with the puddles and puddles of syrup poured on by the well-meaning teenager.) These puddle-less homemade Sno-Cones are gorgeous, I think. Find the recipe HERE at Dine and Dish… Read More ...
