Guiness Marshmallows

I know I've been talking a lot lately about holidays.  But February is like the month with an unbelievable amount of cool stuff happening.  You have the Superbowl, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras and the Academy Awards.  After that we are going to need a break!  Think again, St. Patrick's Day is right after that and I have a little gem that I think you are going to want to pre-order for your celebration. 

Wondermade makes Bourbon and Guiness marshmallows.  I can't think of a better way to get your morning off to a better start than copping a buzz off your marshmallows.

Valentine's Day Healthy Options

Looking to do something for Valentine's day but don't want it to induce a sugar high.  How about checking out Bird's Party for these adorable free printables for some wonderful tagging to add to a healthy popcorn snack.

I would like to soak in this wine barrel while eating the above pancakes.

SuperBowl Recipe

This year I am thinking of going for a nice Cuban sandwich for the Super Bowl.  I like the idea of a sandwich with some staying power.  It won't get soggy like a lot of those whimpy sandwiches.  I'm thinking with a side of plantain chips and then I'm on to the dips.  You know how I feel about dips...of course this event warrants at least two!

Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats

Is this strawberry shortcake?  Is it a rice krispie treat?  Guess what...it's both.  This idea appeals to me because, let's face it, we don't always have time to bake shortcakes.  However, whipping up a batch of rice krispies complete with marshmallows and pound cake would only take a few minutes.  I like the thought of having strawberry shortcake at my disposal in a matter of minutes!

Bar Beautiful

One of my favorite parts of setting up for an event is the bar.  I love all the beautiful bottles, glassware, fun little additions like bitters, fun alcohol, fruit peel twists.  Although it is fun to set up it is not always fun to find a space for everything.  I love this article from CasaSugar that shows some clever and ingenious ways to set up a makeshift or permanent bar in you home.

Cashew Nilla Cashew Butter

Nutella was so 2012...how about making 2013 the year of Reginald's Cashew nilla cashew butter.  Not sure why he needs to use cashew in the name twice...but hey...cashew's are delicious.  Try serving your brunch guests a little CNCB spread on a warm croissant.  They'll think you are amazeballs.
