Honey-Whipped Feta Dip

Sweet, salty, and cloud-like, this creamy Honey-Whipped Feta Dip is almost unbelievably good– especially considering it only takes 5 minutes to make. Serve it as an appetizer at your next party or holiday get-together, or whip up a batch for yourself to spread on toasted bread or fresh pita.  I’ve been making Whipped Feta Dip…

No-Bake Mint Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake

This No-Bake Mint Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake is just as delicious as it is hypnotically stunning. Be warned: It’s rich, chocolaty, spiked with plenty of mint, silky smooth, and a total ruiner of self-control. This one goes out to all my fellow mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers, thin mint fanatics, and shamrock shake drinkers. It’s the ultimate…

Boozy Watermelon Mint Lemonade

The combination of fresh watermelon, cucumber, lemon juice, and mint (with a little rum, of course) makes for a drink that screams summertime! I’m going to let you in on a little secret: even if you’re the manliest of manly,…

Peppermint Mocha Pie

Today’s post is brought to you by my bittersweet nostalgia. Oh, and McCormick®, whose sponsorship made this luxurious Peppermint Mocha Pie possible. So, I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately. And what I’ve realized tonight, thanks to a few glasses of mulled wine, is that I’m not feeling at one with people on either side of the…

Yogurt Marinated Lamb Skewers with Mint-Pistachio Pesto Pilaf

I had fully planned on devoting this whole month to Mexican dishes, since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and I don’t believe that a person can ever have too much Mexican food. Yet here I am, posting a springtime dish that has absolutely 0 south of the border influence, because sometimes a…

Indian Spiced Rice & Lentil Salad

Last year, I discovered that rice salad was an amazingly wonderful thing. It’s replaced pasta salad as my favorite binge-on-at-barbecues-until-the-shame-kicks-in dish. Actually, being perfectly honest, shame doesn’t even stop me most of the time. I will eat rice salad until I can’t physically get up to get more. You think I’m exaggerating, don’t you? It…

Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizza

Worried about making pizza dough from scratch? Keep calm and carry naan. These are not your typical pizzas– instead of tomato sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella, we’re using tandoori chicken, mango, red onion, mint, cilantro, and yogurt… oh, and mozzarella, because in the end, you just can’t nix the mozz. Do you know what happens when…

Ruby Red Champagne Punch

It’s Monday!  Usually that’s not an exciting revelation for me, but today happens to be a little different– I just came back to the office from a nice, relaxing weekend and we’re closed for the holiday tomorrow and Wednesday.  It’s what dreams are made of, really.  So, for the first time I can remember, I think…

Pomegranate Mojito

Am I the only one who is completely blown away by how close to Christmas it is?  Where did the time go?  What have I been doing for the past month?  I feel like Anchorman 2 has gotten more attention than the holidays this year, or maybe I just have selective hearing.  Either way, I’m…

Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade

Growing up in the northeast, my childhood wasn’t full of picking fresh berries and bringing them home for my mother to mash up into jams and pies and sweet drinks.  There were never blackberries by the basket-full sitting on our counters or purple-stained hands and teeth from sneaking a few.   There also wasn’t bourbon. …

Boozy Shamrock Shake

These Irish eyes are smiling.   Why?   Because I now know how to make a Shamrock Shake at home. Cocktail-style.  

Peppermint Mocha White Russian Martinis

(Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas)   A few weeks ago, I saw this recipe for Peppermint White Russians from Pink Parsley.  I remember thinking that it sounded like the love child of the seasonal Starbucks drink and a liquor cabinet, which, in case you were confused, meant that I had to try…
