Peanut Butter Popcorn Recipe

Sometimes, I feel like my love for peanut butter is way deeper than most people's.  It's my go-to for any kind of decadent dessert.  Come to think of it, a couple of dollops on pretty much anything, and I'm a happy camper 😛  (hello, peanut butter BACON anyone??  Will save that nugget for another blog post...)

Coconut Rum Punch Recipe

Have you ever had a good rum punch? If not, consider this your introduction! I don't know about you, but I love coconut rum anything, and this is no exception! This cocktail is fruity, sweet, and delicious

Coconut rum punch is that it's a drink that's pretty obscure. But it shouldn't be! Honestly, for fruity tropical drink lovers, it's pretty much a holy grail, and you'll soon see why!

Watermelon Lemondrop Cocktail

I made these recently for a get-together with some friends, and they were a big hit.  Even the guys liked them :)  It's sweet and tart... a bit like a watermelon jolly rancher, but probably even more delicious.

Milk and Honey Recipe

When I received my awesome raw honey package last month, I got to asking myself what else I could do with all this delicious honey I had laying around.  Then the idea of milk and honey popped in my head.  It's a delicious-sounding phrase, you know?  It brings to mind all the pleasures there are out there in the world, right at your fingertips.

Lavender Lemon Iced Tea Recipe

I made this iced tea the other day, sort of by mistake.  It was meant to be lemonade, but I did not have enough lemons on hand!  So I took a look at what was in my cupboard, and made a quick decision to do iced tea instead.

Thai Iced Tea Recipe

There's this little Thai place on Bedford Avenue called Tai Thai.  It was there that I had my first Thai eating experience ever. With my meal, they served me a delicious orange drink, and thus my love for Thai iced tea was born.

It's a wonderful drink to serve in the the summers, and definitely for those of us with a sweet tooth :)

The recipe is super easy, as long as you can get your hands on some Thai tea.  I've seen other recipes that just use black tea leaves, but I'd say it's worth the extra bit of effort to find the Thai tea.  They roast it with yummy herbs to give it that special flavoring.

I got mine at the Chelsea Market in Manhattan, but if you don't have an Asian grocery store close by, you can always order online- it's inexpensive!





Important fashion side-note!!  As you are making the tea, do not wear your favorite silk shirt, expensive pants, etc.  There is food coloring in the tea.  It can stain your hands and counters temporarily orange, although it washed off easily for me.  It didn't seem to permanently stain, but better safe than sorry!


Recipe

6 cups boiling water
1 cup Thai tea
1/2 c sugar
3/4 cup half and half
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Directions

+ Add the water to your herbs, and let steep for about 5 minutes
+ Mix half and half and sweetened condensed milk in a separate bowl
+ Drain the herbs out with a strainer
+ Add the sugar to the hot tea
+ Refrigerate, or wait until cooled.  Then pour 3/4 cup of the tea into some tall glasses
+ Pour a little less than 1/4 cup of condensed milk/ half and half mixture over each tea


Enjoy!

The Best Blueberry Muffin Recipe Ever

Blueberries are finally in season!  That means I get to dust off this amazing recipe and share it with you.

It's actually a nostalgic recipe for me... back when I was playing tons of shows, I'd make batches of these and take them on the road with me, to snack on during long car rides.  They were always satisfying, (sort of) healthy, and delicious.

And FYI, when I give something the title of "Best Ever," I don't play.  They're almost in a category all their own, because it's really like part muffin, part coffee cake.

Hope you like!!
