Not so much a recipe…
More of a “why have I not been doing this for years?” post. Remember back when I made caramel sauce?
Coconut Lime Noodle Soup
Even though Southern California enjoys warmth and eternal sunshine most of the year, it’s beginning to get colder, especially in the mornings and nights. In colder days, I love preparing myself a piping hot noodle soup or rice dishes. The warmth from cooking in the kitchen and the noodles or rice never fail to warm me up.
DIY Macrame Bracelet
Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms.
Damn Yeah Magical Glowing Cocktails!
This drink isn’t a figment of your imagination. I know, that was my initial thought too and I was all “Man, maybe I need to lay off the absinthe!” The glowing, outer-space inspired jungle juice was created by The Campus Companion Party Lab. All you need is gin OR vodka (choose gin if you really, really hate yourself), tonic water, Roses Mojito Passion OR Pink-Lemonade Concentrate, ice, and a black light. Man that doesn’t sound too crazy!
Watermelons: Nature's Keg
Still pumping your watermelons full of rum? What is this, summer camp? It’s time to grow up and start converting your watermelons into kegs.
Drunken Coffee Jello Squares
OK, kids: This is coffee. In solid form. It’s been sweetened with condensed milk and booze-ified with a healthy dose of Kahlua—then rubberized into a blissful, cocktail-hour finger food thanks to the magic of gelatin. (If you know me, you know how much I love coffee, so you can imagine how excited I was when I came across the recipe.)
Roasted Broccoli Recipe
Kids don’t usually beg for broccoli, at least not the kids I know. So I was quite pleasantly surprised when my goddaughter Piper and her sisters Alden and Reilly not only raved about roasted broccoli, but insisted on making a batch for me during a recent visit. We sort of threw it together and the oven wasn’t working very well, so that particular incarnation of roasted broccoli wasn’t a raging success, but it was eaten with great enthusiasm nonetheless.
