I’m not really a big dessert person, but who doesn’t like something light and refreshing in time for summer. I wanted to come up with a small personalized dessert that would be perfect to serve at a backyard BBQ, or even for a ladies brunch. This strawberry angel food cupcake is the perfect mix of light and fruity. The frosting is actually made with cool whip, so it’s very light and refreshing. This recipe only takes a few ingredients and will take you less than an hour to make everything including cooling time for your cupcakes. First I set...

Happy Manic Monday! Can you believe we are into week six of social distancing? This is my 6th Monday working from home as well. I have been really enjoying finding new things to do at home, or being able to make time to rediscover things. Today I wanted to share some more of my favorite things that I have been doing and using this past week. I hope these give you a bit of inspiration for your own home quarantine. TIE-DYE Tie-dye is so in for 2020 and people are wearing it from their PJ’s and lounge wear, to...

Last year, I started going to a new coffee shop near my house called Foxtail. They are a local chain and have some creative lattes. One that I tried a few months ago, was a honey vanilla latte. This was a seasonal drink and disappeared from the menu eventually. Since, I have been trying to make all of my coffee at home now, I came up with my own latte that’s even more delicious. I had a bottle of lavender simple syrup that I never used. So, I created a honey lavender latte with a creamy foam milk top...

It’s very important for our heart to do some kind of cardio a few times a week. The general guidelines are 30 minutes of moderately intense cardio 5 times a week. I know that can be hard to fit in even when we are working at home. So, I try to do a 15 minute cardio workout 3 times weekly at least and then fit in more as my schedule allows. Personally, I feel like it’s best to do it in the morning to help me wake up and get myself motivated for the day. So, I decided to...

I’m a California girl born and raised (even though I live in Florida now) and so is Green Goddess dressing. I love the mix of creamy and tang, plus the fresh herbs make it a fantastic spring dressing. Through research, I found what goes into a Green Goddess dressing. It seems like the recipes change, except for the one constant of fresh herbs. I am sharing with you what I use in mine. But, if you happen to have other herbs on hand, then just throw those in and use them up. This dressing can be used on your...

Since Cinco de Mayo is coming up in a month I have been wanting to come up with a delicious margarita I can have at home. My mom introduced me to a mixer recently that was pineapple with a bit of a kick and that gave me some inspiration to create a Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita. While researching different tequilas I came across one by Dulce Vida that is infused with pineapple and jalapeño. This tequila is insanely smooth which makes it a bit dangerous and very easy to drink. Personally, I like a bit of spice, but not too...
