I’m not saying we needed another corn dog recipe out there in the world, but I’m also not saying we didn’t. Especially when said corn dogs are cooked in a waffle iron, which basically makes them the healthiest corn dogs ever since they’re not deep fried. Corn dogs that are good for you?! Talk about a dream come true. Don’t say I never did anything for you. Okay, so they might not be good for you, necessarily, but they still are golden and crispy and still as irresistible as the classic variety, I promise. They’re easy to make and in no time at all (with basically little to no effort because the waffle iron does all the work for you) you’ll have a big pile of waffled corn dogs just waiting to be dipped in ketchup and mustard or topped with chili and cheese. Let this be a lesson to us all that everything is better when cooked in a waffle iron. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy that Belgian waffle iron you’ve been eying, I think it’s safe to say that this is the recipe where you give in and just go for it. Buy that iron, you deserve it.

You might already know that I have a thing for egg rolls and/or spring rolls. Basically anything that is fried until golden brown and crispy is my jam. I can’t resist a fried treat. Some of my favorite roll recipes on the site include, but are not limited to,

This is one of the easiest recipes I’ve posted on the site in a very long time, making it appropriate for a Cheers to the Weekend post because sometimes we just don’t have the time to spend hours and hours in the kitchen, slaving away on one meal. Maybe sometimes we don’t even want to cook at all because enjoying our Saturdays and Sundays to the fullest, definitely sounds more enjoyable. Believe me I fully understand, and that’s why I’m here to help. Rather than order in something you’ll regret later on, why not take 30 minutes, that’s it that’s all you need, and cook up a big pot of comfort pasta? That sounds like a good idea to me. This pasta is springtime ready because it’s loaded with vibrant and fresh flavors, like mint, basil, lemon and peas. It’s a creamy sauce, sure, but it’s a creamy sauce on the lighter end with just a little bit of creme fraiche thinned out with pasta cooking water. It’s less than 10 ingredients and you probably already have most of them on hand. Remember how earlier in the week I mentioned that we should take back our weekends and unplug more often? This recipe is perfect for that. Let’s keep up our summer goal and disconnect from the internet as much as possible (after reading this post of course). Let’s all Cheers to the Weekend!

Don’t let anyone tell you that nachos can or should only be the Mexican variety. Tortilla chips with cheese sauce, some beef or chicken, salsa and guacamole sure is great and all, I’m the first to order it whenever I can, but maybe it’s time for nachos to get a Mediterranean makeover. Maybe it’s time they move over. Maybe we all need to back off Tex-Mex nachos for a bit, and think outside of the appetizer box. These Greek Nachos are nachos new and improved. Nachos 2.0. The new way we nacho this summer. If you’re a big fan of Mediterranean flavors like I am, then you’re going to love these, I promise. There’s no need to even think about it any longer. It’s a yes and yes again. It’s like that one time when I made

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that making decisions can be very difficult. Like what should I make for dinner, what movie should we watch, and what to do on our day off? Trying to come up with a definitive answer takes too much time, and time isn’t always something we have enough of, am I right? So when it comes to deciding between vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, I’m usually at a loss. How can you pick one over the other? That’s like a parent choosing their favorite child. It can’t be done (well it shouldn’t be done). This is why I’m a big fan of Neapolitan flavored anything because you can have all three flavors without sacrificing one over the other. We already make difficult decisions on a regular basis, having to choose between chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry shouldn’t be one of them. These Neapolitan Pudding Parfaits are reminiscent of that classic ice cream flavor but in pudding form. Homemade chocolate, vanilla and strawberry pudding are layered into small dishes and topped with whipped cream and finished off with chocolate shavings. It’s a dessert to end all desserts this summer, and if you’re thinking that these parfaits would be a great thing to make and eat this weekend, while you’re lounging around, then you thought right and I think it’s a wonderful idea.

I’m really bad about eating breakfast, especially during the week. I know that it might sound like I’m throwing a line around, but I mean it when I say that eating breakfast gets away from me sometimes. I need to be better about forcing myself to eat something in the morning. Even if it’s something small. At times, if I can remember, I’ll have a breakfast bar or some cereal because it’s convenient and I can do it while I’m working. Not the best situation, but I do feel like it’s way better than eating nothing. Believe me though, if it was up to me I’d eat

I haven’t posted a cocktail recipe in a very long time, so I figured I needed to fix this problem right away, because if you ask me that’s exactly what it is, a big problem. And what better time to do this than right about now, as the weather is finally turning for the better, and it’s beginning to be so nice outside. It’s also coming at the perfect time because Julian fixed up our balcony last weekend and now we can actually sit out there again and admire all the plants and strung lights. Side note: He’s tried to grow some herbs and veggies for me, but our balcony doesn’t get as much sun as I’d like it to so they’ve never lasted. We abandoned that idea and now it’s just filled with cacti and succulents. I’m not complaining though because I figure some thing green is better than nothing. Every time he fixes up the balcony, I vow to sit out there more often but somehow I forget about my promise after a week or two and I end up not enjoying it as much as I should. This time however, I really do plan on sitting out there on a weekly basis, and something tells me that this Grapefruit Cucumber Gin Fizz is going to help me keep my promise, but more importantly it’ll most definitely help me Cheers to the Weekend!

It might not be warm enough where you are are at the moment, but I think ice cream is always a yes no matter the time of year. If it’s currently cold, then wrap yourself in several blankets, put on all your sweaters and you eat that ice cream because it’s one of life’s greatest pleasures. Ask anyone, but more importantly, ask my mamma because ice cream is her all-time favorite treat and she’ll always convince you to have some. These Oatmeal Rum Raisin Ice Cream Sandwiches are a mouthful to say, but they’re a must this summer. They’re made up of homemade iced oatmeal cookies, just like the Mother’s Cookies I ate as a kid. Mother’s the cookie company, not my mother because my mother doesn’t bake. It’s the same company that makes
