I’m getting one last recipe in just in time for Cinco De Mayo! I’m all about the food in general, but I really love a good frozen margarita, especially these frozen strawberry-mango margaritas. The perfect margarita that’s not too sweet with lots of fresh fruit flavor, and zip from fresh lime juice. So many times…
You may be thinking that 5 ingredients isn’t enough to make the best guacamole, but you’d be wrong! Guacamole is honestly my favorite dip ever and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to really perfect the recipe. It’s a simple thing, but done right can be truly magical.

These are honestly my favorite cookies that I have ever baked. They are soft and chewy, loaded with chocolate and the almonds give them great crunch!
I just want an easy apple fritter recipe that will yield a great donut. Is that too much to ask for? I tried to make apple fritters once. It was the “classic” version that is a yeasted dough, basically chopped up and mixed with apples and then formed into little patties that are fried. While…

If you need a last minute appetizer for your New Year’s Eve party, I have come to the rescue at the last possible second! These italian roast beef sliders are 1. delicious; 2. easy to make; 3. require just about zero actual cooking (just warming them in the oven); and did I mention they are…
