This is the time of year to indulge your sweet tooth so whip up a batch of candy corn popcorn balls! A mixture of popcorn, candy corn, and gooey melted marshmallows come together to create the perfect sweet and sticky treat!
Monster Mash Smoothie
Since this month has been mostly dedicated to Halloween-themed cocktails, I thought I would make a delicious kid-friendly smoothie! Using only fresh fruit and ice, I layered up the smoothie and topped the whole thing off with ‘monster eyeballs’ that I showed you how to make last Tuesday! The best part is that you can always make the grown-up version later and add a shot or two of your favorite… Keep Reading
REDRUM Cake with Boozy Cream Cheese Frosting
Believe it or not, but I had never watched The Shining until just a few weeks ago. I get numerous requests for rum cake recipes, so I was inspired to make a two layer red velvet rum cake as a tribute to the film! To up the rum factor a bit more I added Sailor Jerry Rum to the cream cheese frosting as well! I topped the whole thing off… Keep Reading
Sailor’s Grave Punch
I was half-tempted to call this punch ‘Snakejuice’ (Parks and Rec fans know what I mean) because of how STRONG I first made it for our party a few weeks ago! I toned it down a bit, but I must warn you, it’s still pretty powerful! For the sake of my liver, I didn’t make an entire punch bowl of the stuff, so I’ve included the amounts for making drinks… Keep Reading
Pumpkin Spice Rum Balls
I made these for a get-together with friends last Tuesday and I’m lucky I got one when I did because they went fast! They’re a rich, boozy, and decadent treat that’s perfect for fall!
Murderous Mai Tai
A few weeks ago we threw a Haunted Luau, which doubled as a housewarming and an early Halloween party. On top of large quantities of food and treats, I made several pitchers of new cocktails to try out with my guests. The first to go was a batch of Murderous Mai Tai’s.. a dangerously delicious mix of Sailor Jerry Rum, fruit juice, and grenadine to give it a sweet taste… Keep Reading
Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Candy Corn Cream Cheese Frosting
This is not how I originally intended to do these cupcakes. I wanted to do a fun yellow, orange, and white cake with bright swirly frosting as well, but then I scoured the web only to find that they’ve been done a million times over! I also wanted to avoid dumping tons of food coloring into both the cake and frosting, so I went the natural route.. carrot cake! I… Keep Reading
Hot Apple Jerry
I’ve been fantasizing about warm fall drinks since June, so you can imagine how excited I was to finally make this cocktail! I combined a traditional Hot Apple Jerry with a recipe for hot buttered rum and the drink should probably be renamed to Trouble, but I kept the original title instead. It’s smooth, delicious, and perfect to warm you up on a crisp fall day!
Herb Crusted Pork Chops
My latest obsession has been Gordon Ramsay’s show, The F Word. Every season is on Hulu and it’s been entertaining, inspiring, and informational! One of the recipes he shows how to cook is herb crusted rack of lamb. I was inspired to use some of the same techniques and ingredients, but with pork chops instead! The recipe was simple and absolutely mouthwatering!
Hard Apple Cider and Cinnamon Bread
Beer bread was one of my favorite recipes growing up. Not only did my mom make delicious bread, but I think I thought it was fun or naughty that I could have beer! Much to my adolescent disappointment… you cannot get drunk off beer bread. Bummer right? As an adult it’s still one of my favorites and I love to experiment with different variations of it. The latest concoction is… Keep Reading
Sweet Potato Mash
What a difference one year makes.. This recipe is actually an old one that I’ve updated the photos on because.. well.. they were downright awful! I didn’t know much about lighting, angles, or presentation. I’m still learning every day and doing the best that I can with the camera I have, but they now look a bit more appetizing than before! 😉 Sweet mashed potatoes are delicious and perfect for… Keep Reading
Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
It’s that time of year again.. crockpot season! I have to admit, I used to be anti-crockpot because I’m more of a hands-on cook, but it’s definitely nice to throw something in there and several hours later your house smells great and you have an amazing meal cooked! The chicken tortilla soup was not only simple, but hearty and delicious. And did I mention.. a wonderful hangover cure? 😉
Purple Velvet Spiderweb Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Today is our Haunted Luau Housewarming Party! No matter the occasion, I can’t resist putting a theme on it! I put together dark purple velvet cupcakes with a spiderweb detail on the frosting to add an extra twist! They’re decadent, rich, and perfect for Halloween.. or whatever the occasion might be! 🙂
Apple Cinnamon Bourbon Cocktail
If you’ve ever wondered what Autumn tastes like in drink form.. this is it! My fiancé is a bourbon man so I wanted to make a drink specifically for him. Not only did he love it, but proclaimed he wanted to drink that all season long. I tried a few sips myself and for not being a fan of bourbon, I found that I really enjoyed it too!
Zesty Hot Onion Dip
Game day parties are already in full swing this season, so whip up a zesty hot onion and cheese dip for your guests to enjoy! Just a few simple ingredients and 30 minutes in the oven for a delicious dip that’s perfect for chilly fall days
Lemon Shrimp and Spinach Fettuccine
In preparation for the massive amounts of food I will cook and consume over the holiday months, I decided to start hitting the gym again. Yayyyy….. : / When I get home I’m exhausted and I just want something quick to eat. All too often ‘fast food’ is usually not healthy food, so I put together a meal that’s light, filling, and cooks in 20-25 minutes! I still washed it… Keep Reading
Pumpkin Spice Cookies
I just.. can’t.. stop.. eating these! I made them last year and I think I’ve been craving them ever since! Chewy, decadent, and full of fall flavor! Make a big batch to give away to friends and loved ones…or keep them all to yourself! 😉
Sailor Jerry Ironsides
Since we’re in the midst of an Indian Summer (and we don’t have air conditioning!) I needed something crisp and refreshing! I decided on making Ironsides, a Sailor Jerry original recipe. They’re not only easy to throw together, but perfect to take the edge off of a particularly long and sweltering day!
Spicy Lime Hot Wings
One of my closest friends back home is due in November and her biggest pregnancy craving has been hot wings! I posted these last November in the beginning of my blogging days and the photos were pretty awful… Food photography 101: DON’T USE THE FLASH! I decided to redo the recipe and of course the photos to do these delicious spicy hot wings the justice they deserve. Channing.. this one… Keep Reading
Deep Dish Macaroni and Cheese Pizza
We’re heading into the season of comfort food and I couldn’t think of anything better to indulge in than a decadent deep dish pizza filled with creamy homemade mac and cheese! Chewy, crunchy, cheesy, and rich! This will quickly become a family favorite on chilly fall days!
Salted Caramel Chocolate Souffles
For a while (okay.. as of this morning) I thought soufflés were really difficult! Each time has been a failure for me.. blame it on the recipe or “user error” but they just never turn out right. Today was a semi-success though! I found a really easy recipe to follow and threw my own spin on it by adding my caramel rum sauce and a bit of sea salt for… Keep Reading
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
I hope you forgive my brief hiatus from recipes this week. My parents left today to head back to Iowa and I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I got to spend with them. To make it up to you I present this delicious fall smoothie! Portland has been rainy the last few days, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin beer are out, and I may or may not… Keep Reading
Maple Bacon S’more Cupcakes
I feel like I just committed a sin by even stringing those four words together.. to consume it is even better! My parents are visiting this week and today is my step-dad’s birthday! I know the Sweet Tooth Sunday posts are always anticipated, so thank you for waiting an extra day so I could make these amazing cupcakes for his birthday! Typically I like to describe the taste and aroma… Keep Reading
Cucumber Ginger Fizz Cocktail
It’s currently 102 degrees in Des Moines, IA.. my hometown. Now normally I like to rub it in everyone’s faces that I now live in Portland where the weather is PERFECT (it doesn’t rain as much as everyone tries to make you believe), but I’m actually feeling pretty bad for my friends and family back home. If you don’t live in the Midwest of the United States then what you… Keep Reading
