S’mores Krispie Treats

S’mores. They have made quite the boom in the Pinterest world these past few months. The classic summer, camp fire treats have been filling every inch of my brain and I seriously have been dying to try every variation of them. If you follow me on Facebook, you would know just how deep the addiction and affinity is towards these ooey, gooey, marshmallow-y squares of goodness! My cousins were in town and we decided to have a BBQ at the new place last minute. I was having a small panic attack because we NEEDED dessert and it was the one thing…

Asian Pasta Salad

Pasta, oh how I love thee! The past few months I have been trying to eat on the healthier side (if you follow me on Facebook, you probably think I’m lying my ass off right now – But it’s true!).

5 Life Lessons I Learned From Being A Soccer Girl

World Cup Soccer is probably one of the most exciting sports to watch. Especially when your country is in the finals! (Whoohoo!)

When they up and moved me in the middle of my freshman year of high school, I thought my…

Kiddie Eats: Hiding Veggies in Favorite Dishes + Veggie, Mac & Cheese Recipe

  Do you wonder if your kids are getting enough nutrients in their diet? I often do because our sweet, precocious Little Diva only has eyes for certain eats: pasta, fruit, chicken, pasta, rice and more pasta. She does eat different proteins, which I am not complaining about, but it started effecting her in more ways then one (mostly going #2, sorry for the TMI) and I had to do something to get her eating more veggies, fruits and less starchy meals. I can’t fully cut out the pasta just yet because I am Italian and well, lets face it,…

Lunching At American Girl Bistro at The Falls Miami

    If you have daughters, granddaughters, nieces, or know a special little girl that loves dolls, you have to let them experience all the girly fun that is American Girl! Back when I used to play with dolls, I always loved getting those random American Girl catalogs in the mail and begging my mom and dad for ‘Samantha’ all decked out in plaid with her cute beret. Sadly, I never got one, but was always envious of friends who had her or one of the other popular dolls back in the late 80’s early 90’s. So you can imagine…

It’s tart, it’s crisp, it’s refreshing – it’s just delicious. I have always wanted to make a batch from scratch but it seemed…
