Poop emoji cookies decorated with royal icing are a funny and unique idea for your next party. Another idea is to make unicorn rainbow poop cookies!
I made these Poop Emoji Cookies for a recent blogger event. I was worried people would think they were a little too weird, but my fears were unfounded. They were a huge hit – and the most commonly photographed and eaten food from the event. They are silly and whimsical, and I’m sure will be a hit at your party too…. Read More »
How to make Homemade Greek Yogurt in a Crock Pot or Slow Cooker. It’s easy, better for the environment, and you only need two ingredients! A naturally gluten-free recipe.
Pat and I made a mutual New Year’s resolution to cut down on the plastic we buy, especially pertaining to food. The impact is twofold. One, who knows what chemicals end up in your food because of plastic packaging. The other is lessening the amount of plastic that’s made. Sadly, tons of plastic ends up in the ocean. In fact, every great sea now has a garbage “gyre” or a rotating ring laden with plastics. It’s sickening. Cutting down on our plastic use saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas production and prevents pollution.
An easy first step was to stop buying store-bought yogurt. We eat multiple containers of single serve yogurt on a daily basis and our recycling bin is full to the brim by the end of the week. This method of making Greek yogurt in a slow cooker allows us to make enough yogurt to last us at least a week.
Two of my favorite foods – sushi and pizza – come together in the form of sushi pizza! This fun and healthy recipe doesn’t require any rolling.

Happy 2017! I really love doing these year-end posts where I reflect on the past year and make personal and professional goals for the new year. I used to be skeptical of New Year’s resolutions. It felt like setting myself up for failure.
Instead of making a vague goal, like “eat healthier” or “lose x number of pounds,” I make several small goals. Even maintaining an already good behavior counts as a victory in my book.
Last year, I made several goals…… Read More »

An easy two ingredient layered Prosecco cocktail recipe perfect for ringing in the New Year. Wondering what is the difference between Champagne and Prosecco? Read on!
There’s nothing like a two ingredient cocktail that takes only seconds to make to help you ring in the New Year! It’s basically obligatory that a New Year’s cocktail has some kind of bubbly it.
Instead of going with the traditional Champagne route, this year I’m popping the Prosecco! All that’s left is gently pouring in a little grenadine syrup that will settle under the Prosecco to create a beautiful layered effect…. Read More »
