Cranberry Sparkler

Summer is practically here.  I realized that every summer since I started this blog, I’ve posted about a refreshing beverage… one that I’m obsessed over.  You know, the one that you pretty much drink every… single… day.  This summer it’s cranberry and bubbles.  Throw some lime in there and the refreshment levels are positively stratospheric. Is this even a real recipe?  It seems so simple that I feel like I’m cheating here.  However, I never knew about this tasty concoction until I met my husband so that means there’s a chance you don’t know about it either.  So this is a “recipe” …

Pancakes

TGIF… and it’s a long weekend!  Most people are gearing up for the start of BBQ season this weekend, getting the hamburgers, hot dogs, and various BBQ fixings ready.  However, I’ve got breakfast on the brain, pancakes to be exact. Recently I realized that a pancake recipe has not made an appearance on Tina’s Chic Corner.  What the what?  I mean, pancakes are one of my faves. Typically my husband makes pancakes using Bisquick with the recipe on the back of the box.  While the Bisquick ones are tasty, I wasn’t going to post something that was pretty much just add milk and eggs …

Strawberry Mango Smoothie

I hope you guys aren’t getting sick of smoothie recipes because I’ve got another fab one for you. How crazy cute are these glasses!?!  I just bought them from the Home Goods store on Friday for $3.50 each.  Of course I needed an excuse to use them right away and thought this fun smoothie was the perfect way.  Get it?  Tropical fruit in a smoothie, palm trees on an adorable cup? It’s been over a month since I shared a smoothie recipe with you.  That’s enough time in between, right?  If you’re a smoothie junkie like me then I know you’ll appreciate another.  If you’re …

Sweet Potato Wedges and Eggs

TGIF!  What are you making for breakfast tomorrow?  What…  It’s a legit question.  I’m sure that I’m not the only one who plans ahead of time, especially when it comes to food. I was in the mood for eggs and some sort of sweet potato side dish.  I just realized that I think I start every breakfast post with “I was craving… so here it is.”  Well, my blog is a diary of my life so that’s how it goes around here.  🙂 I opted for sweet potato wedges that are seasoned with salt and pepper.  Yup, it’s nothing fancy but it sure …

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

I can’t contain my excitement about this quick bread!  It’s part vanilla cake, part cinnamon bun, part crumb cake, all awesome. I’m telling you that once you make this you’ll have friends and family asking (no, begging) you to make it again.  I think the pictures say it all today, but I’m feeling a little like Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.  I love that show!  If you’re a fan, then you know how he goes into crazy detail when he’s sampling the food.  I get a lot of inspiration from Triple D.  The only bad part is that it never seems like …
