Tropical Smoothie

I’m obsessed with pineapples… and smoothies. I’m sure you can relate to being into a certain food.  What’s your latest food obsession?  Easter candy, perhaps?  You know who you are.  😉  That’s even more reason to hop on the smoothie bandwagon if you haven’t already. Smoothies are where it’s at for me right now.  I enjoy them for breakfast or snack.  Heck, I’ll even enjoy one for dessert, sometimes, if there isn’t something more desserty around.  It’s sort of like a sorbet… sort of… work with me here.  😉 Since my blog represents what’s going on in my life, I’m going to …

Pineapple Margarita

It has been so long since I’ve had a margarita.  I mean it’s literally been years, but the “drought” ends today (or actually it was Sunday when I made it). I’m not sure exactly why I haven’t had a margarita in years.  Perhaps I forgot that they’re delicious.  Or maybe it’s because I remember the pre-made margarita mix that we used once or five times and that made them, well, not so delicious.  I suppose it’s not important, aside from the fact that I’ve been missing out on this tasty cocktail for too long. You don’t need to wait for Cinco de Mayo to have …

Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

Yogurt, fruit, and granola… This is what my breakfasts are all about lately. I tend to get sick of eating the same thing over and over again, but when I find something I really love, like pizza, ice cream, cookies, bagels, or a great yogurt combo, then I can eat it every day for long periods of time.  It’s probably not surprising that my “love” list involves mostly unhealthy foods. The pre-packaged yogurt cups with fruit are the bomb digity when you’re feeling lazy and they can easily be thrown into your lunch bag for work.  If I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll …

Baileys Iced Coffee

Are you more excited that Zoolander 2 is coming out next year or that St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow?  This might sound like a weird comparison but they are in fact two events that I am excited about right now. Last week felt like the longest week ever.  Then in the midst of it my husband showed me the announcement that Derek and Hansel were coming back to the big screen and it totally made my week!  Yes, this means that I love Zoolander.  Should I be embarrassed that I like this movie?  I mean, it’s not exactly an award winning …

Frozen Cosmopolitan

Who’s up for a boozy beverage to get you started on this Monday!  I know I am. This cold and snowy weather has got me reminiscing about our Turks & Caicos vacation.  Boy, I wish I was on a beach with a frozen cocktail in my hand.  Since I can’t be there I thought I’d bring the beach to me.  Well, sort of.  I’ll enjoy the drink, close my eyes, and pretend I’m at the beach. The resort we stayed at made an awesome frozen cosmopolitan.  Of course I’ve heard of cosmopolitans (hello, Sex in the City), but never in a …
