The weather can’t decide if it’s hot or cold, but I’ve decided that my poolside treat this year is Vegan Strawberry Shake.

You watch the game for the game. Or maybe it’s the commercials you love. Perhaps the half-time show is what draws you in. For me, it’s that cutting-your-teeth drama that comes with the final quarter…everything is on the line, both teams have played long and hard all year just to make it to this moment. …

I’ve been feeling sluggish for the past few weeks. I keep thinking if I just lose a few pounds or workout or something I’ll get my energy and pep back…but then I can’t even seem to muster the muster to do that much. Instead, I’m eating worse, vegging more, and basically I’m a potato. Then …

White Chocolate Peppermint Dipped Marshmallow Pops are one of my favorite holiday traditions. I make them with the kiddo, and then while the tree is being decorated, we leave them to harden. When we’re finished, we sit around and stare at the beautiful lights with big ‘ol cups of hot chocolate and dip the marshmallow …

No holiday party is complete without a selection of drinks to keep your guests happy, but sometimes it’s hard to find a good balance between overly-fruity (some might say “girly”) cocktails and, well, beer. But if you want something that’s fancy enough for a party but not too sweet – and not too expensive that …

There’s nothing like a hot apple cider to keep you warm on these long winter nights. But if you want all of the “warm” with none of the “hot,” you’re going to have to switch out the heating process in favor of some good ol’ fashioned liquor. And let me tell you, if you like whiskey, …

It’s getting cold outside and all the songs are telling you to warm up by a nice, crackling fire. We have a different idea. This winter, don’t warm up by the fire…get kinky in the cold instead. This Get Kinky In The Cold Cocktail will warm you up and taste smooth going down. Drink it …

While the holidays bring cheer and happiness, they also bring a bit of craziness. At the end of the day, sometimes the best way to get through it all is through a delicious cocktail. Since I am all about peppermint, (and that is the total craze now) I partnered with Agave In The Raw® and came …

For some people, spending a joyous Christmas with family is less about enjoying the warm fuzzies and more about sticking your claws into said joy and hanging on for dear life as that family does their best to drive you crazy. And yes, when I say “some people,” I mean me. And when faced with the …

For some, it’s the season where dreams come true. For others, it’s all about bah humbug and waiting for the new year to come. For me it’s all about that sweet smooching…and, of course, finding every opportunity possible to get my mack on with that hot guy I’ve been eyeing for months now. Now, if …

Water is essential for life and I know it, and you know it too. So why don’t we all ensure we are getting our daily intake of water? It could be that it’s tasteless, colorless, or just that it doesn’t satisfy our craving. Whatever it is, water important to our health. So today I am …

Now, when you think about candy corn, you probably don’t have thoughts like, “Gee, I wonder how I can turn these into lava.” This is, admittedly, probably a good sign for you and a bad sign for me. However, thoughts like that do tend to result in totally awesome effects like the one on the top of …

Having coffee in the morning is a convenience most of us can’t live without. It keeps you from being a zombie at work (or from falling asleep at your desk – guilty as charged). But sometimes, even a few cups of the good stuff isn’t enough to keep you up and about (especially on the …

Fall is fast approaching and before we whip out our warmer clothing, we need to make sure and plan for those cool weather drinks. Yeah, I said it…drinks are Way more important than clothes. Why? Because clothes can only keep you so warm and drink will get you through any cold night. Oh boy, am …

Life is tough. There is little else to say about it than that. We all struggle, we all fight with schedules, and finding time for others, and finding time for ourselves.  A lot of the time I think we simply take self-care out of the equation because the idea of adding one more thing into the …

I am not a nice person when I’m hungry. Everyone who has spent any real amount of time with me has made a joke about HANGRY JAMIE at some point. But here’s the deal– when you’re hangry, (so hungry you’re angry) you need something real, something substantial. Something jam packed with protein that’s healthy AND …
