So I seem to be on a slightly alcoholic tangent lately, what with the wine tour and the whiskey bacon, but it’s all good.Today, though, we’re taking a cooler route. I’m talking about something you can relax by the poolside and enjoy. I’ve always wanted to try a wine slushie, and personally, I love peaches.

Ask just about any man. What are two of the best “guilty” (yeah right) pleasures of the food world, and they’ll likely tell you booze and bacon.This recipe was originally for beer candied bacon, but whiskey works well, too. Especially when that whiskey is Jim Beam maple whiskey. The end result is a crunchy piece

Whether it’s Chinese, Thai, Japanese, or Indian, leftover takeout rice is almost inevitable. Half of the time, I’ll bet you don’t even get around to eating it. Well, waste no more!

A few weeks ago, an article featuring boozy milkshakes was brought to my attention (I can’t seem to find it again, but if you search “boozy milkshakes,” Buzzfeed’s got you covered).

It’s no secret, as I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I have a major sweet tooth. These cookies are the perfect snack for someone like me: they’re sweet, citrusy, soft, chewy, soooooo not health food, and they’ve got that sinfully-rich mouth feel, which is odd for a lemon cookie, but wonderful, nonetheless.The best part

Today, for the first time in a long time, I have a recipe for you! It’s super easy and it’s perfect for salads or snacks. I’m talking about homemade ranch dressing — no sugar, no preservatives, and organic, if you wish. I personally love dipping celery in ranch, but store-bought dressings tend to have a

I’m going to put this out there right away so there’s no gray area: I generally don’t like beer.I’ve tried IPAs (ends with a HORRIBLE stomach ache), lager (meh), stout (I can drink a glass before the thought of it makes me reel), and a couple other randoms I don’t remember. The end result was
