What could be better than crystal clear blue skies, swaying palm trees and a pina colada in hand? Umm, nothing! Living in Florida I get the gorgeous weather all year long but I really enjoy a pina colada the most when I head to my favorite vacation spot, Key West. And when I think of Key West I think of Key West pinks, aka shrimp, which is what inspired me to create this yummy recipe for Pina Colada Shrimp. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago, I ended up with a ginormous bag of M&M’s at my house.
I was just minding my own business, doing my own thing, and then suddenly, these M&M’s were taking over. I, of course, was eating them like they were going out of style. You know, as one does.

Happy Independence Day weekend!!
Break out the sparklers! After the patriotism and fireworks to celebrate our country’s independence, July 4th is all about the food.
You know it’s true. Patriotic holidays = overeating at its finest.
Firing up the grill, throwing on tons of juicy burgers, hot dogs & brats, steaks, ribs, and corn on the cob. Eating watermelon by the pound. Bowls of mayo-based salads as far as the eye can see.

Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. That might be because it’s known as a “beauty fruit”. No it’s not a beauty to look at, but it’s packed with beta-carotene which makes skin beautiful! And who doesn’t love beautiful skin especially when you get to eat delicious fruit to go along with it!
This recipe for a cool, light summer appetizer doesn’t get much fancier – prosciutto, basil leaves, sticks = fancy. But with your flowing skin you feel fancy so it all works out in the end right?
