This might just be the best thing ever!

Ok, I really don't see how it could get any better. Quick, easy, delicious, fun, summer inspired, and alcoholic. Although I won't be enjoying one of these babies until the baby arrives, just a few more months, I think I have to make them for my next bbq. Can you say hit of the party?!

{Strawberry Margarita Popsicle}

Pour and freeze Mike’s Hard Lemonade Strawberry Margarita into a Dixie cup and freeze for two hours. After the two hours, insert popsicle stick. Freeze for another two hours until the popsicle has solidified. Right before serving, garnish with a lime and salt. Serve!

{Corona Beer Popsicle}

Open a Corona and pour it into any form, wait 2 hours to solidify slightly and insert popsicle stick. Freeze for another two hours. Garnish with a lime and serve!

Thank you Bakers Royale for opening my eyes to the fun world of adult popsicles!

Cinnamon Sugar Delights

Every Christmas my mom would make these cinnamon sugar buns while we opened our gifts. Thank you Mom, the tradition has stayed with me (and my thighs) all these years! This recipe is a definite highlight to the holidays, but I just can't wait that long. So why not live a little and indulge yourself in this buttery, sweet heaven.

All you need for these goodies:

1 roll of Pillsbury biscuits

1 stick of butter

1 cup (or so) of sugar

2 tablespoons (or so) of cinnamon

1 brown paper bag

1. Preheat oven and bake biscuits according to their directions. Meanwhile melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Once biscuits are done, dip them in the butter and place on a plate.

3. In a brown paper bag mix together the cinnamon and sugar and toss biscuits until well coated.

4. DEVOUR!

ROAD TRIP!

The Fourth of July is almost here! We, along with most of New England, are going on a road trip to Cape Cod! If unprepared, we will face hours upon hours of traffic, a restless 3 year old, and a very impatient husband. So, to make the trip down more enjoyable, I ventured to Target and put together a little care package.

{The Car Care Package}

The adult care package includes some good chocolate, cold drinks, old-fashioned candy, and home-made Chex mix. The red bucket is actually an ice-bucket which will be great upon our arrival to the hotel…. champagne anyone?

For the kiddos we have some oh-so-necessary entertainment (including stickers to decorate the pail), favorite snacks, juice boxes, and of course wipes. The bucket is a sand pail with a shovel. Great for the beach!
